Free jazz drummer Whit Dickey first stepped into the spotlight as a leader with the release of his
Transonic album from Aum Fidelity in 1998. Two years later, Wobbly Rail issued his
Big Top release. Previously, he was best known for his solid work with
Matthew Shipp and
David S. Ware, with whom Dickey split in 1996. Early the following year, the drummer began composing the works that would be included on
Transonic. Dickey penned all but two songs, "Kinesis" and "Second Skin," on the collection, and he even had a hand in those with the help of his fellow musicians on the album. The original compositions give a nod to the influence of "Criss Cross" and "Off Minor" from the legendary
Thelonious Monk. Dickey recorded the album with the aid of
Rob Brown on flute and alto saxophone, and
Chris Lightcap on bass. In 2001, Dickey recorded half a dozen of his compositions with
Mat Maneri,
Shipp, and
Brown under the name
Nommonsemble, and put out
Life Cycle through Aum Fidelity. ~ Linda Seida, All Music Guide
