Their recent debut solo album, Realm, explores the sonic possibilities of the woodwinds using electronics and contact microphones, resulting in soundscapes that are both earthy and alien. A member of groups such as Bellbird (alongside Claire Devlin, Eli Davidovici, and Mili Hong), duo Umbrella Pine, they have also played various projects fronted by acclaimed musician Mali Obomsawin including the band that was featured on her celebrated 2022 album Sweet Tooth. Originally from Kansas City, Allison Burik moved to Boston to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Performance at Berklee College of Music, and Master’s degree in Contemporary Improvisation from the New England Conservatory. Following their graduation, they’ve maintained a steady engagement with an array of different musical forms. Brian Slattery of the New Haven Independent praised one of their live performances remarking that « Burik—who, in a band uniformly bursting with fierce talent, requires special mention for some transfixing, revelatory playing. » Over the years, they have worked with notable musicians including Taylor Ho Bynum, George Garzone, Joe Morris, Tyshawn Sorey, Ingrid Laubrock, Ran Blake, Carla Kilhstedt, Anthony Coleman, Frank Tiberi, Bobby Watson, Jaleel Shaw, Kaïa Kater, Shannon LeClaire, Tia Fuller, and others.

As for me trying to squeeze my tiny ego into a portrait by Rankin, well, the results speak for themselves… If in any doubt, please call 999 and ask for the fire service » DOUGLAS GORDON (Destroy Rankin project) |
