Troy Dostert had to admit in his review of Steve Lacy’s “Avignon and After” that he actually does not like solo recordings. Well – I can understand him. And I have difficulties with the sound of some instruments like the guitar (as mentioned above), the human voice, and – the flute. So the expectations for Matthias Ziegler’s “La Rusna” were rather low. After listening to the album the surprise was all the more bigger. Ziegler does not play regular flutes here, he is a specialist in bass flutes (contrabass flute, baritone flute, alto flute) and has even designed some new instruments. He creates a completely strange, trembling, and almost unheard sound with carefully placed microphones in the flutes itself. With the help of some effects the album sounds like the echo of a minimal symphony played by one musician. Especially the title track, a 20-minute-drone, is a psychedelic trip you can get high on. It feels like sitting in the lung of a huge gentle beast listening to its breathing. To your own surprise you are not afraid, it is a completely organic and natural ethereal sound, surreal and mind-boggling. The other tracks are not as unique but nonetheless unusual and interesting. “Stop n Go”, for example, is a tour de force on the baritone flute, much faster, less ambient. Ziegler shows what an excellent player he is, presenting a huge variety of sounds, aspirating, breathing, key tapping, exploring the sonic possibilities of his instruments. This album was the great discovery in all this LEO stuff.
