TRAINING + RUTH GOLLER LOGLINE

‘logline’ is taken from the boundary-pushing new album from TRAINING + Ruth Goller. The trio have combined their influences into a whirlwind of free jazz and post-rock, with TRAINING providing a basis of frantic drumming matched by equally manic sax playing, while Goller slots her distinctively thick bass tone into the mix, with a tone that is as thunderous as it is atmospheric. The album that has emerged from this collaboration is a true piece of experimentalism. threads to knot was composed based on a French parlour game called cadavre exquis, in which each player adds their own section to a drawing in sequence, while only being allowed to see the end of what the previous player contributed. TRAINING elaborate: “Working on this music (with our Cadavre Exquis - concept) felt a bit like being in a teenage band again, but with the twist that all the compositions are connected. One piece influenced the next piece, and this one the next and so on.. very satisfying.” The band are playing around the UK in November. -Dan Peeke
