Much more imposing is Luminescence (once again from October 2017 in Berlin!), a very long digital album featuring Hui-Chun Lin (cello) & Shuichi Chino (zither) joining Rupp & Ernesto Rodrigues to form a novel sort of "string quartet." (Lin was most recently mentioned here, also in October, around Buratino, in that case a novel variant "string quintet.") Luminescence is also a very "busy" album, often with a nearly overwhelming level of activity & detail, but also tends to narrow or focus around the cello, which comes to produce quasi-melodic lines that are in turn richly ornamented by the other musicians (as a sort of groove). The ensemble itself is quite distinctive, but the result is sometimes incoherent, or perhaps searches for coherence around a main line.... Todd McComb's Jazz Thoughts

Without Petzold is Repérage, also recorded in October 2017 (also in Berlin), this time with Gerhard Uebele on violin, but also with Matthias Bauer on bass joining Ernesto & Guilherme Rodrigues (on viola & cello): The recording is relatively distant, at least compared to the close mic'ing often used for these sorts of post-concrète albums, but the string interactions are among the most classical — melodic, even Romantic at times — in Rodrigues' recent output. (I hadn't mentioned Uebele previously in this space, but he has likewise already appeared on Creative Sources.) Todd McComb's Jazz Thoughts
