about

Semaphore is a new band organized jointly by Chicago drummer and percussionist Tim Daisy and long-time friend and collaborator Kyle Bruckmann (oboe, English horn, electronics.) Rounding out the quartet are two pillars of the San Francisco Bay Area contemporary music scene: bassist Lisa Mezzacappa and tenor saxophonist Phillip Greenlief.

Bruckmann and Daisy’s musical partnership began in Chicago in 2002 when Kyle tapped Tim to join his new avant-chamber ensemble Wrack. Since that time, despite Kyle's relocation to the West Coast, the two have worked together in a variety of formats, rehearsing, recording, performing and touring across the United States, Canada and Europe.

The compositions on this release, four by Daisy and three by Bruckmann, showcase a wide spectrum of ideas inspired by the Creative Music Continuum. Brought to life by the outstanding contributions of Lisa Mezzacappa on double bass and Phillip Greenlief on tenor saxophone, both of whom are avid composers as well as resourceful improvisers themselves, they are evidence of the warm camaraderie, rigor and mischief that link these cross-country hotbeds of musical adventurousness.

Semaphore is a brand new ensemble with the chemistry and flexibility of a working band. This premier recorded document is only the beginning of what the musicians intend to be a regular meeting of the minds moving forward into the future.
