Collaborations may seem incongruous in the highly individual world of avant-garde, yet they are quite frequent and bring forth delicious fruits. That’s how it is on the “Cosmic Dusts” album concocted by a pair of well-known musicians, Elliott Sharp and Tim Motzer who had heard of each other a long time ago, only to meet in person for the first time in August 2025, when the latter ventured north to the former’s Studio zOaR. The results of their improvised sessions are out now.
TIM MOTZER –
Cosmic Dusts
It may be unusual to see the plural form of the word “dust” – but then, what the two did over the course of six epic pieces is unusual too, their chemistry palpable in both the guitar sounds and the telepathy, which the jointly composed twists and turns of the tunes demonstrate with a lot of gusto and nuance. To mark this release, Tim and Elliott are set to play live in Philadelphia and New York on, respectively, November 23rd and 24th, the NYC date also featuring Motzer performing in a trio with Percy Jones and Steve Moses.
