Nika Ticciati and Beth Veasey are a pair of Leeds based composer-improvisors, recorded here as part of their first duo album: Two Treens. Their music is concerned with intimacy, extended composition and refashioning the improvising piano/drum duo into a highly personal chamber group. Written in the midst of a shared obsession with Don Cherry’s Symphony For Improvisers and the piano music of George Crumb, the tracks on Two Treens attempt to provide a meaningful advance on the compositional approaches used by the first wave of American improvisors.
