about

Released by Dromos
Edition of 200.

"Wasteland Jazz Unit is a Cincinnati duo by Jon Lorenz (saxophone) and John Rich (clarinet). Caustic Gate is no exception to their previous works, consolidating the reputation theyve built in the past times in the lineage of great mavericks and art provocateurs, standing therefore beyond any easy definition of free jazz, noise or improvisation. The sound of their instruments is stretched to the extreme, until they are barely recognizable, revealing new sonic and formal possibilities. This is music that confronts you to a point thats impossible to be indifferent. Like a dare and an enigma at the same time, it exists in the paradox of being both primal and utterly complex."
-Dromos

"Cincinnati duo consisting of Jon Lorenz (saxophone) and John Rich (clarinet), who since 2007 have been building a huge body of work at publishers such as American Tapes or Excite Bike and arrives at Dromos with Caustic Gate wrapped in blankets. distortion. With a succinct name assertively suggesting what they have been doing, Caustic GateIt is a no man's land that escapes free jazz by resorting to an extreme manipulation of the potentialities of the two instruments to the point of non-recognition. Without forcing unusual comparisons, one can find an ideological prescient in the whole of the Borbetomagus filtered by the characteristic noise tactics of someone like John Wiese or Aaron Dilloway. "Collision Cleansed" describes arcs of fairy distortion based on the possible duel between the two musicians that never gives in to call-response militantism. Rather in subjugating the sound to its visceral limit until a final without winners. Adapting a narrative, one can think of a war that descends into the bleak environment of Current Residue. With the wind taking over the creation of a war cries dronewheezing that never succumbs to its greatest rarefaction. Nor to lethargic contemplation. Earlier in perpetuation for 15 minutes of the same no-man's land by an eminently more placid way. Erosive States condenses in about four minutes all the noisiest elements of the duo to the breaking point of the feedback. Closing the gate of a caustic disc that wisely avoids the brute force noise to assume itself as an object of considerable soul impact."
