[...]

The six piece, all titled “Ear Area”, reflect this attentive, sometimes tender
and delicate, but more often quite raging and restless, complementing interplay
between these strong-minded improvisers. Léandre allows herself to be totally
emotional and vulnerable on the second “Ear Area”, where she sings in an
unusual, innocent voice. On later pieces, Léandre and Harnik sound as enjoying
the common experience of heading into the unknown; the liberating sense of
taking risks, searching for new, unknown terrains, dynamics and emotions. The
last piece summarizes their distinct histories in a touching, tender way that
suggests a unique a way of communication between the double bass and the piano,
a personal, magical way that is totally their own and only they know its many
secrets.
