As an improvisor, Rob Mazurek has a knack for making the most unexpected change in a melody sound beautiful. On Silver Spines melodic cornet improvisations flow into densely layered sound constructions and abstract duets with engineer Casey Rice. Like his work in the Chicago Underground, Isotope 217 and various other solo projects, Silver Spines touches on jazz, minimalism and computer music, but finds it's spark in the space between.
