Far Out! was recorded in the EMS Studio in Stockholm in September 2019 and consists of three pieces that all clock around twenty minutes. They are three joint improvisations with a very different character and with the agreement that something is constantly happening and that - despite the fact that it is a small occupation - you are short of ears to be able to grasp everything at the same time.
In '20 Minutes' Dimming's melodic bass lines form a kind of contrapuntal movement under the sax playing with wings, like a free bird. Bröndum's electronics act as a scattering percussion, but slowly take on a larger role as its sounds lengthen, creating a mystical edge. At about seven, the musicians seem to crawl towards each other, not because their sounds merge, but because of the partial musical conception in which the whole comes first. The strong melodic role of the bass remains striking. Gärdin's fast lines on saxophone are characterized by the fact that they retain a sharp sense of melody. In the live electronics of Bröndum there is a certain consistent line, no matter how different the sounds are, there is a clear thought behind it. The (t) rumbling sounds from the beginning return halfway through the piece, now swelling, which is the reason for Dimming and Gärdin to increase the intensity of their playing. Also worth noting are the electronic drone, the soft and subtle sax playing and the ironed bass notes after approximately fourteen minutes. Here too the three find each other perfectly. They also know how to create tension by increasing and decreasing the intensity, and it is striking that the tension also increases when decreasing.
Standing Waves begins with a threatening drone from the bass and the sound of the sax's valves. The electronics sound soft, but undeniably add tension. The drone game increases in volume and Gärdin adds his characteristic fast but melodic lines. The bass detaches from the drone and joins the sax's nervousness. For Bröndum, that is the sign to add a higher tone to the drone. Standing Waves are continuously under high voltage, charged with small particles that want to escape. These particles can consist of thin electronics, rumbling bass sounds and fleeting sax playing. The threat is greatest when the electronic drone comes to the fore, but also deep or squeaky sounds of the double bass and thin sax sounds contribute to it. Even now the increasing tension with decreasing intensity is striking. Gärdin is the one who provides some relief, but never rest. His playing is too restless and dynamic for that.
After a piece without tempo, movement is a characteristic of "Not For Ron!". Where "Standing Waves" formed a whole, there is a piece that consists more of loose parts that are attached to each other, while the boundaries are not delineated. Now no static drone, but movement through strong individual colored play, where the musicians occasionally come close together. Bass and electronics also function as free percussion. Gärdin plays fairly short phrases, sometimes sounding like broken lines. If Bröndum does come up with a drone after some time, Dimming puts moving play underneath. The melodic power of the bassist's playing is reflected in a fascinating solo. Gärdin and Bröndum give that space and later slowly move into the musical course set out by Dimming. The sounds that Bröndum conjures up are versatile, subtle and sometimes pervasive, modest and sometimes unashamed (like the loud theremin at the end), but they are always in the service of the joint instant composition. In all his urge to act, the piece is not out of control, although this trio has not one mate but three captains, each with his own character, but with the same goal in mind
