FMR Records release...

Swiss Avant-Garde drummer, Christian Bucher, and American-Expat alto saxophonist from the Philippines, Rick Countryman have performed and recorded together for a decade, and are described by Squidco.com as “a great example of the far reach of free jazz.”

“I can tell that these two have been working together for a while since they sound quite connected, shadowing each other and completing each other’s lines. This is intense, focused, free jazz at its best. - Bruce Lee Gallanter, DMG

“Countryman excels by the quality of his timbre, the vivacity of his lines, his innate ability to surf the time and draw all the juice out of his modal vein thanks to his sonority. Genuine; it is lived... an original voice on the alto sax” - Jean-Michel Van Schouwburg.

“Swiss drummer Christian Bucher stands out with his completely original playing in permanent acceleration - deceleration. He relentlessly cuts through floating times, with repeated and carried away accents forcing or releasing the pressure... A disturbing simultaneity makes different pulsations coexist and evolve in the same flow” - Jean-Michel Van Schouwburg.

The Force of Gravity documents the continued growth and evolution of this duo, employing contemporary Avant Garde textures and Free Imrpov concepts while referencing Free Jazz harmonic, melodic, and rhythmic elements.
