Hans Reichel! Yes, the inventor of the daxophone, releasing a CD on Ambiances Magnétiques! What a nice surprise! Honestly, I didn’t think the guy was still active. And there he is with a very fine collaboration with percussionist Ganesh Anandan, who sticks to shruti stick and metallophone. Eleven improvised duets of two, three or four minutes duration, plus one ten-minute solo by Anandan. The daxophone has not aged one bit, its tone still eerily mimicking the human voice. Nice interplay between the musicians. Pure delight.
