WILL FREDENDALL & DIEGO MARTINEZ are young up-and-coming improvisers active in various east coast scenes, and they have been developing their musical language as a duo for years through countless private sessions. throughout both their times as students in boston, they have developed a profound love & appreciation for complete creative freedom through the medium of improvisation, which is something they are seeking to achieve with every new session.

this record is merely an example of the culmination, of sorts, of the innate faith these two have in one another as collaborators; the kind that both musicians feel manifests very rarely to this extent. these four improvisations involve various pre-determined parameters set by will & diego. from soaring melodic improvisations over ambient drones & harmonics to fleeting percussive attacks & explosive noisemaking, this collection of tracks serves as a first marker for the unspoken trust of the duo ARKO-IRIS.
