Berlin-based duo TRAINING team up with bassist Ruth Goller for their new album »threads to knot«. Frenetic free-jazz is sitting next to post-rock riffs and looming microtonal atmospheres. The record was written in a truly collaborative effort, adapting the concept of ‘cadavre exquis’, the popular drawing game: One person would start writing a few notes before passing it on to the next, revealing only the very last note, with which the composition continues.

TRAINING is comprised of drummer Max Andrzejewski and sax player Johannes Schleiermacher, whose last album »Three Seconds« saw them collaborate with Deerhoof guitarist John Dieterich. Ruth Goller, who has been hailed by the Guardian for her »thunderous bass-guitar hooks« and has made waves this year with the release of her second album »Skyllumina«. She’s also known as a live performer with Kit Downes, Alabaster de Plume, Melt Yourself Down among others.
