A harrowing layered work of solo saxophone and electronics, Descension is at once beautifully elegiac and unflinchingly primal. It is a sonic meditation on the legacy of a dark history and its echoing relevance in the present era. Patrick Shiroishi is one of the key artists to emerge from the current L.A. free improvisation avant-underground; his first vinyl release is a spiritual journey that reveals his deeply reflective and unique musical vision.
