Formed in Chicago in 2002, Wrack is the vehicle for Bruckmann’s compositions teetering at the intersection of the jazz and classical avant-gardes. While the melodic and contrapuntal content often invokes European modernism, the open structures, improvisational procedures, and slapstick streak are equally indebted to the African-American Creative Music tradition and Bruckmann’s parallel history in post-punk noise-rock.
