"Musical improvisation might be trickiest when it’s done by a duo. Neither player can hide behind the other—there’s too much space to fill—yet if either gets too loud, it can kill the dialogue. Emily Cook and Dana Ma avoid those pitfalls on Cook/Ma, yet they aren’t afraid to take chances either. The two sidelong pieces here offer all sorts of ebb and flow; at times Cook and Ma simultaneously retreat from center stage, only to come hurtling back at each other like basketball players attacking a jump ball. Cook’s bass clarinet playing is full and dense, and when Ma cranks up his electronics to match, the pair sound more like an ensemble than a duo. But throughout Cook/Ma, their conversation is paramount, and compelling." - Marc Masters
