The improvising Toronto trio Odradek plays found, refashioned and invented instruments, with Michelangelo Iaffaldano working with fretted and bowed strings, Jim Bailey employing toys and small instruments and Andy Yue on synthesizer. The group took its name from a character in Franz Kafka’s story “The Cares of a Family Man”; Iaffaldano thought their music sounded like the kind of thing the crevice-dwelling spool-like being might play. Odradek is a genuinely creative group, and Iaffaldano is a musician of singular talent, able to break through the occasional clichés of improvised music with a vision that’s equal parts coherence, continuity and disruption, touching at once on noise and folk sources.—Stuart Broomer
