*2025 stock* Irritable Mystic Records and Balance Point Acoustics are thrilled to announce the release of Spi-raling Horn, an audacious, boundary-blurring album from a staggering quartet: bass clarinetist Jason Stein, pianist Marilyn Crispell, double bassist Damon Smith, and drummer Adam Shead.
Born from a chance collaboration rooted in a shared appreciation between Smith and Crispell for the radical visual art of Cy Twombly, Spi-raling Horn invites listeners into a sonic universe where improvisation reigns and musical tradition is both honored and transformed. The album was recorded in sequence at the Palisade Studios in Chicago, capturing a raw document of real-time invention—nothing edited, nothing left on the cutting room floor.
