of Ascension:

For ages, humans have been inspired by the act of rising, by being lifted off the ground and into flight. With an ensemble of wind instruments and a rhythm section: we follow the lines of celestial pop music, ecstatic Sufi spinning, wild free jazz, gripped complexity, and antiphonal polyphony. For wild Upof Ascension is an architecture filled with vibrant noise — one that connects disparate stylistic artforms inside a self-similar sound.
