“Rodeo”, the first trio release by Chris Golinski, Tim McNalley and Boaz Roberts juxtaposes sharp, close-knit interactions against large, open textures. Created through a process of live performance and studio editing, the album showcases the creative potential of the studio as a compositional tool and questions the typical dichotomy between improvisation and composition. “Rodeo” is a study in contrast and extremes, from the visceral to the ephemeral, which resolves to present the listener a seamless flow of five independent yet interrelated works.
