Turner Williams Jr. is an Alabama-born artist & musician currently residing in Marseille, France who has performed and recorded under the moniker Ramble Tamble as well as a member of avant-garde troupe Guardian Alien. Williams is a master of the "shahai baaja", an electrified zither modified with typewriter keys that de-tune several strings, plus 12 additional unfretted strings that drone sympathetically.
About "Let It Warp", Williams says "This music is shaped by the 32 winds of my new home and the endless whatever warp of life since I moved here at the beginning of 2020. All improvised in the hills above the city and recorded on a phone that also received voice memos from friends at home and transmitted streams to orbit wherever. For lost friends, living family, wind & time." "Let It Warp" is Williams' first entry in Trouble In Mind's Explorers Series.

Camila Nebbia released one of my favourite albums of last year, the terrific Aura. That album showed her skills at writing for a large ensemble.
This album is completely different. It's like very private communication between two superb improvising musicians. I also like the electronics the musicians use. It's subtle and fits beautifully with the horns, which are played with great inventiveness.
