It is, in fact, Maroney and Dresser's expansion of their respective instruments' sonic possibilities that takes the programme of Dresser and Maroney originals, all based on complex and precisely structured forms-with the exception of two free improvisations-and opens them up to greater breath and breadth. If one can forget about the clearly detailed arrangements and just absorb the music without consideration, the set takes on a surprisingly effortless and alluring complexion...Time Changes is further demonstration of Dresser and Maroney's ability to construct contexts that demand strict adherence to form and a more exploratory aesthetic.
