David Torn's first recording for ECM in 21 years is a sonic voyage that defies categories, blurs boundaries, and which has been eagerly-awaited by devotees of the avant-garde... 'Prezens' is also the debut of a unique band featuring 3 of the most recognizable names in experimental jazz - Tim Berne, Craig Taborn and Tom Rainey.
'Prezens' includes all of David's otherworldly trademarks: multi-layered textures, thick chords, disruptions, distortions and hypnotic loops. Notably though on this production, or "reconsideration" as David calls it, he wraps his sounds around those of his band mates; often taking apart their improvisations and reassembling them in unique & exciting ways.
