A chosen pitch melody where the rhythmic notation is fixed but the pitch is not, thus being a different melody each time played. A 32 bar form, each line is a palindrome / mirror image rhythmically, and this along with the title is chosen to represent the theme of mirrors and lies told in the current political era. The solo also has no fixed harmony but a fixed swing feel, also representing the relativism of the present day.

Total mastery of patience, time, and drama create a constantly engaging journey that never gets tiresome or same-y: in fact the harder you listen the better it gets! Somehow Sorey et al. find a way to combine the deep listening and spontaneous interaction of the best jazz with the sense of every tone and sound being worth a universe of listening, which could be equally from Cage and Feldman or the accompaniment to an ancient ritual.
The recording/engineering is absolutely perfect as well. Giles
