Victoriaville 2002 performance review by Bruce Galanter

"The new 'Text of Light' quintet with Lee Ranaldo & Alan Licht on guitars, DJ Olive on turntable/sampler and Ulrich Krieger on sax accompanied films by Stan Brakage, which were very strange and constantly in motion.  William Hooker is often known as one of heaviest of all free-jazz drummers , but here played extremely light and spacious, showing a side few have rarely heard.  Their sonic soundscapes fit Brakhage's films with a well seasoned and well placed stew of restrained, yet occasionally explosive results."
