about

The Quietus: "Recorded in Lyttleton, New Zealand, Rituals Volume One captures a spontaneous meet-up between two Kiwi improvisers. Saxophonist/clarinettist Reuben Derrick goes up against Misha Marks, who plays baritone horn plus latarra, a homemade electric guitar he constructed "out of an old metallic first-aid box”. The primordial rumble and restless plucks of Marks’ latarra lay a moody foundation through the opening section of the first side-long piece, ‘Elixir From The Hills’. He lazily plucks and slides around the bottom of the spectrum while Derrick parps and flails quickly upwards, driving the duo into a breathtaking ascent into haphazard heights of strumming and gasping. The final half of the track is more playful and childlike, with the pair testing out various extended techniques on the latarra and how Derrick’s reeds can play off them. ‘9PR8+82 Lyttelton’ on side two has Marks switch to baritone horn, and they mutate into a pair of duelling ducks, honking at each other. Derrick’s busy fingers ultimately win out with some nimble and lightning fast Evan Parker-inspired screeching (not that it’s a competition of course). This is an inherently valuable document due to the unusual nature of the instrumental pairings. Marks’ latarra and baritone horn playing make a fresh foil for the mind-blowing squall of Reuben Derrick’s reeds, and across two tracks lasting precisely 20 minutes and 20 seconds apiece, they explore a titanic swathe of invigorating sonic possibilities."
