"Minim features Andrew Pask on clarinets, Sara Schoenbeck on bassoon, Steuart Liebig on unprepared and unprepared contrabass guitars and compositions and Brad Dutz on drums, percussion & marimba. This is L.A. bassist and composer, Steuart Liebig's 6th disc for pfMentum and the second with his quartet Minim. "Sulphur" consists of two long pieces and one relatively short one. "Kaleidoscope" is almost 45-minutes in length and contains 23 miniature parts. Minim is a unique chamber quartet for clarinets and& bassoon with Steuart's brilliant custom-made contrabass guitars and pfMentum leader, Brad Dutz on drums. Each miniature features different solos, duos, trios and the quartet and each is demanding in one way or another. Sometimes spacious, sometimes busy but always thoughtfully written and well-played. "Cherry Blossom" is based on a haiku (ED NOTE: Wrong tune ascribed to haiku) and has some quirky yet playful music, moving from duos to quartet in sections and is quietly fascinating. "Necrological Pieties" seems to be free yet minimal, but it fits together in a way that is cautious but difficult to describe. Another unique offering from Steuat Liebig and Minim."
