about

"The process blurs science and shamanism, with results that are utterly mesmerizing. Stated simply, Consummation is among the most important recordings that will appear this year. But its significance is worn lightly, and never outweighs the pure mental, spiritual, and physiological succor of the sounds First and his players produce."—Steve Smith/Night After Night

"The Consummation of Right and Wrong is an attention-grabbing work that progresses, changes, and rearranges so much that it continually courses with energy. This a different kind of energy than most music aspires to, a kind that quiets the mind even as it stimulates. First touts “the virtuosity of slowness,” asking his players to move gradually so they can see “the teeming sea of values that lie between the official culturally-sanctioned demarcations.” The effect on the listener is similar: surrender to the way First treats time and motion, and you might hear things your brain never would’ve noticed otherwise." —Marc Masters/Bandcamp Daily

Absolutely love this recording. I listen to it at work. I listen to it in the car on the way home from work. I listen to it while falling asleep. Curtis’ cello is so amazing. Just got the vinyl in the mail from Discogs the other day! Can’t wait to play on my hi-fi system! Dave Sewall
