Theo Travis - Fear Falls Burning - The Tonefloat Sessions

Following a personal invitation by Tonefloat, woodwind guru Theo Travis and drone master Dirk Serries of Fear Falls Burning joined forces for the first time in early 2008. Recording two long pieces, both artists realized their contribution in their own studio on the spot and in one go, with Serries feeding his guitars through his trademark effect pedals and Travis operating his customized ambitronics to organically extend the natural palette of his flutes. After the material had been exchanged, they then proceeded to process and structure these performances independently before spending the rest of 2008 triumphantly touring the frenzy of the absolute album and teaming up with artists such as David Sylvian, Steven Wilson and Robert Fripp. Roughly a year later, the duo is back with a string of carefully selected live shows and the vinyl version of The Tonefloat Sessions. While the cover references the classic designs of Blue Note's vintage jazz records, the music contained within is discreet yet sensual, darkly beautiful and alluringly mysterious.
