Much like their debut, Black Narcissus, Entomological Reflections is another
fascinating blend of otherworldly sounds and adventurous musicianship from the
trio Mephista, consisting of Sylvie Courvoisier on piano, Ikue Mori on laptop,
and Susie Ibarra on drums. A quick glance at the instrument credits will do
little to clue you in as to what the album sounds like. Courvoisier likes to
play inside the piano a fair amount, and it sounds as though she often mutes or
prepares the strings as well. Susie Ibarra plays little in the way of
straightforward timekeeping, using the kit instead to provide skittering
percussive accents. Mori's laptop is filled with interesting sounds, and meshes
so well with Ibarra's playing that at times it's difficult to tell who's
playing what. And it's even harder to tell who's playing what when Courvoisier
is playing inside the piano. Most of the material is improvised, although each
participant offers at least two compositions as well. Each of these players has
a highly individual voice on her respective instrument, and together they are
three of the finest improvising women on the scene. This album isn't likely to
get any toes tapping, but will reward careful listening.
