Steve Cohn : iro iro

Steve Cohn : iro iro

The Iro Iro band was formed during a period when I wished to bring

some new ensembles together and used the Knitting Factory in New York

to do it. I was currently still working with my chamber unit formed

for the 1993 Miller Theater concert with Bass, french horn, violin and

piano, shakuhachi, etc. I think my work with Thurman Barker was still

in my mind. Ive always loved the sound of vibes or marimba together

with piano. But I was searching for new members. I became aware of

Kevin Norton and checked him out at one of his gigs. I always reflect

on the vibration of the person not just their music. Kevin had a nice

spiritual side and I felt he would lend himself well to the shakuhachi

and other ethnic and percussion instruments I use and also he played

the orchestral percussion, drums and vibes like Thurman Barker.

The cello was exploring without bass and Kono had a Japanese

simplicity to his playing and beautiful tone. His electronics were

another avenue. Tomas had a good relationship with Kevin as they had

also played many times together. Truly this ensemble in my opinion

became magical almost immediately. The hichiriki and cello, the

shakuhachi and trombone vibes cello. The playful exploring and the

power of the blues and jazz feel.

Now add Jon Rosenberg, wonderful at live recording and two concerts of

this music was beautifully captured. The Iro Iro band is an extension

of my chamber quartet with very different colors and a whole new slew

of personalities. I am very happy that Michel Passaretti showed such

distinct interest in these recordings.

One more note about the name of this ensemble. Iro Iro is a Japanese

word which means this and that or a variety of things, and the word

Iro is the word for color.

Enjoy

Wyndel Hunt / Thom Heileson : Unit of Selection

Wyndel Hunt / Thom Heileson : Unit of Selection

Catalogue: de5016

Duration: 49:58 + 17:18

Format: 5″ CD-R + 5′ DVD-R

Edition: 150

Year: 2008

Dragons Eye Recordings is pleased to present the release of Unit of

Selection, a collaboration between Wyndel Hunt and digital media

artist Thom Heileson, in which Heilesons films are interpretations of

Hunts sound pieces. The collaboration grew organically out of the

realization that the two artists had similar aesthetic and conceptual

goals, wherein Hunts sound works and Heilesons video works speak a

kindred language–via different media. Unit of Selection aims to

fashion new perceptual sculptures, in which the textural fluctuations

and movements of each medium carve into one another.

The process began with Hunts sound compositions, which are motivated

by an unstructured emotional template. This template, combined with

the idea of an “anonymous force that shapes,” determined the aesthetic

order of pitch, tone, and volume. Heileson then created the imagery

with an interpretive visualization process, articulating emotive

tonalities that paralleled Hunts compositions. The results emphasize

Hunt and Heileson’s shared desire to represent the movement of

abstract objects in an imagined perceptual space. Versions of the

pieces included in Unit of Selection have been installed in galleries

in San Diego and Seattle.

Emmanuel Witzthum : chamber music

Release Date : 29.12.08

Format : EP

Jerusalem’s Emmanuel Witzthum is a composer who works with traditional

and electronic instrumentation, and these tracks offer a glimpse into

his working method. For Pianos is a live recording of four pianists

performing one of his scores, a piece that relies on intuition and

attentive listening as the performers each perform the same piece of

music but at their own pace. With Pianos is a Witzthum solo

performance, using the acoustic recording as source material for an

exploration of the score’s themes from a different perspective.

JACQUES DEMIERRE-ISABELLE DUTHOIT : avenues

UTR 4201

There is no easy comfort here, no nostalgia: the music is in situ. It

writes itself and propagates in this privileged place of the moment.

Both artists question the historical line-up of the clarinet and piano

duo while sharing and retracing in each of their performances the

immediacy of their own personal myths.

At the piano, Jacques Demierre does not cease to redraw new sound

topographies. The piano is no more just an instrument but also an

object, making us forget its physical weight. Isabelle Duthoits

clarinet and voice are at work in this space which is opened up by the

instrumental and vocal sound material: mutual filtering, unheard

morphings and her breathing, being the underlying thread, travelling

beyond its limits towards infinity.

Together they recreate the physical and sound space of the

instrumental duo and spread their respective virtuosity up to the

borders of mastery and risk: the energy that composes their music is

carnel and abstract. It is energy in movement, radical and enlightening.

Bondonneau/Lazro/Chiesa/Lasserre/Sassi : humus

Bondonneau/Lazro/Chiesa/Lasserre/Sassi : humus

Amor Fati FATUM 016

Like many nations in Europe, France has a long-established, fully-

developed and significant jazz and improvised music scene. Unlike

players elsewhere however, in general French musicians appear most

comfortable gigging within the countrys borders and collaborating

with locals. Thus, to our detriment, appreciation for significant

French talent is somewhat limited. However, these fine sessions could

help rectify the situation.

For instance, Bordeaux-born drummer Didier Lasserre featured on both

discs is inventive, technically adroit and a sympathetic

accompanist. Over the years he has played with improvisers a different

as American trumpeter Roy Campbell and French pianist Frdric Blondy.

Powerful bassists Benjamin Duboc (on Nuts) and David Chiesa (on Humus)

have collaborated individually with reedists such as Jean-Luc

Guionnet, Michel Doneda and Xavier Charles.

Instructively, while these sessions are built on this bass-drum

rhythmic foundation, each gains its distinctive colors from other

participants contributions. Unhurried and concerned with microtonal

undulations, Humus showcases the sonic interpretations of veteran

baritone saxophonist Daunik Lazro who has worked with most major

Euro improvisers and tyro bass clarinetist Benjamin Bondonneau, who

is also a painter.

More brassy, with jagged, discordant timbres and purposely incomplete

textures, Nuts features a bass-drum team plus three expatriates who

now make Paris their home. St. Louis-native Rasul Siddik, who has

recorded with David Murray, and Kobe-born Itaru Oki, part of Japans

first experimental musical unit in the late 1960s, both play trumpets

and miscellaneous instruments here. Makoto Sato, a member of both jazz-

rock band Marteau Rouge, and an off-beat Butoh dance spectacle with

Oki, is the other drummer besides Lasserre.

Displaying earth-moving reverberations but in microtonal spurts, the

four players on Humus work in an adagio tempo and soothingly puff

through or scrape along the outsides of their instruments more

frequently than they create conventional lines. Throughout, rim shots

cracking and crunching hand pressure and buzzes on drum tops plus bass

drum thumps interlace with dark, deep rubs and sul ponticello friction

from Chiesa. Meantime staccato tones and counter tones from Bondonneau

and Lazro reflect back upon each others aspirations, with basso runs

sharing space with sudden altissimo shrills.

By the suites final variation, a sonic edifice of unison abrasions is

erected. Multi-floored, the thickening interaction is built up from

cymbal friction, sawed strings and colored air forced through the

horns body tubes. Most spectacularly, at certain points both reed

players blow with such force that partials and overtones are as

noticeable as the root notes. Bronx cheer-like drones burble from the

bass clarinet, while Lazro contents himself with tongue slaps and

stops plus reed biting. The shape, material and fabrication of the

horns are so involved here that the interpolated and expressed pitches

appear to take on the character and viscosity of the instruments

themselves. With the baritone saxophones vibrato gawkily

perambulating within the spaces untouched by Bondonneaus bass

clarinet whistles, lip pops and fowl-like shrilling, the rhythm

section provides concordance. This takes the form of cementing the

horn warbles to swelling sul tasto string runs and unvarying rebounds,

nerve beats and rattling rim shots.

More brutal and fulsome is the quintet interaction once the trumpeters

turn from faint grace-note buzzing and intermittent silences caused by

seed shakes and inner tube resonating. Soon the centre shell of Nuts

is cracked with a steady, marital beat from both percussionists. While

Dubocs swaying bass slaps and Lasserres and Satos slashing cymbal

timbres create a rubato beat, Oki and Siddik expose parallel brass

interpolations. As one trumpeter snarls from his open-horn, the other

peeps with a muted bell.

Half-way through the first track, as the tempo accelerates with

percussive press rolls and ratamacues, one trumpeter probably Siddik

introduces slurred air ripples. Responding with a faux-bull fight

melody, the other brass man Oki? rends the air with roistering

squeals and shrilling yelps. Beneath Lasserres rat-tat-tats, the

bassists short bowed passages pull together the others ever-shifting

tones, eventually downshifting the tune into a finale of grace notes

and simple breaths.

Briefer but more roughhewn, Nuts Society features cymbal and side

clipping beats from the drummers, plinks and plunks from the bassist

and braying plunger lines and guttural smears from the trumpeters.

After one brassman approximates To the Colors, with a bugle-like

exposition, a contrapuntal response in the form of a martial march

comes from the other four.

Reaching a defined crescendo, Dubocs shuffle bowing mixed with

horizontal stops and runs provides the perfect underpinning as trumpet

tones divide again. With one man sounding a delicate wavy line and the

other creating rough, broken-octave fills; concordance is evident only

when each vies with the other to hit the highest-pitch. Thumping bass

lines plus ruffs and drags from Lasserre and Sato define the bottom,

until a low-key, straight-ahead solo from the bassist silences the

others, and brings the piece to a logical finale.

Native-born or acculturated residents of France admirably representing

their musical talents make both CDs equally satisfying. Sophisticated

out-of-country listeners should carefully note the musicians names

and hope that in future they all perform more often outside of their

native land.

Jacques Foschia : clair obscur

Jacques Foschia : clair obscur

cs108

This the first solo double cd I review from the Cretive Sources-area and its quite interesting since for many musicians from this odd-music hemisphere their cd on this label is like some kind of nice and well packaged business card ready for every listener-reviewer to be reminded. As you probably know every Creative Sources artist put the money and takes part to the production of the work, sometimes the outcome is a good business card, sometimes its a bad one. This one is good, quite classic in many ways, lets say ordinary in the way it sounds odd and un-ordinary, even thought it would be too damn reductive to stop our conclusions here. Jaques Foschia (funny name, in Italy foschia stands for thin fog) plays clarinets and combines both bass and eb one in a really interesting way, it reminded me a bunch of good solo works like those done by Kyle Bruckmann, Scott Rosemberg, Peter Brotzmann (mmeven if not as in your face) and Anthony Braxton but none of them in particular, at last this work is refined and has its own physiognomy. He combined a collection of studio tracks for what looks like the real full-length and an entire disc containing two live sessions, the sound definition of which is not less effective then the studio tracks. His studio work is quite characteristic of this improvisative area therefore if youre into Birgit Uhler, Axel Dorner, or in the likes, well Im sure you love Clair obscure for the global sound and the waiting games that are the peculiarity that gave this label a clear distinction (and sometimes a bit of predictability) for what concerns the sound matter. Even while acting live you have hissed sounds fragmented sketches and above all some well developed executions were according to my persona opinion Foschia shows his finest traits and Im referring to the last part of the first live session.

“Modulated absorptions, anesthetic ambiences and pulsating

respiration through liquid programmings. Acoustic spaces of

Siegmar Fricke has been continuously developing his pharmakustik

concept since 2001 after his activities in the experimental,

international tape-scene in the 80s and 90s. “Atemkalk” is his newest

study in clinical ambiences, mindexpansion and electroorganic

improvisation, developed in his pharmakustik-lab. The concept of

constant modulation of all sound-particles during the simultaneous

machine-interactions is an important factor in the pharmakustik

approach.

Further exploring the collaborative powers of Illusion Of Safety

mastermind Dan Burke and prolific sound crafter Thomas Dimuzio,

Upcoming Events is an unending spur of equal parts gorgeous and

uncomfortably perplexing sound spread of 15 tracks. Crackles of

electronic fire, tremolo-infused waves of sustained guitar, broken

music boxes and found sounds among all other sorts of unfounded wails

of gargantuan melancholy drone, Burke and Dimuzio’s collaboration is a

forceful collection of early industrial sound ruination combined with

classic Krautrock ambiance of the Tangerine Dream/Cluster ilk

reassuringly composed into something wholly modern and powerful.

invertebrata – 4

invertebrata – 4

[WM090]

Invertebrata is an experimental/avantgarde project by Belgian musician Bert Vanden Berghe, and one of his more quirky outings besides brunk. Invertebrata’s music is mainly based on free improvisations on randomly detuned and often prepared (mostly acoustic) guitars, combined with other instruments/objects and environemental sounds.

This is the 4th invertebrata album since 1999. Detuned acoustic guitars, an acoustic bass guitar, a plastic water bottle, bowed strings, some voice, a little black truck called Tonka, a small toy recorder and other (whether or not accidentally) recorded sounds, and no traditional song structure in sight…

6 octoberfield

7 morning haze

Michael Trommer is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Toronto, Canada. Prior to landing at Serein, Michael enjoyed releases on a large number of notable labels, both net based and otherwise. In the past he has contributed work to the Thinner netlabel, while more recently Fountain Music have released a split EP by himself and ‘Genevieve’. While the aforementioned releases saw him assume his ‘Sans Soleil’ moniker (a name he reserves for his 4/4 oriented output), Trommer also creates contemporary ambient music of the highest calibre. As you may have guessed, it is this latter style Michael explores on his first release for Serein, ‘Tree Line’.

‘Tree Line’ comprises seven tracks which together span just under one hour, this may give some clues as to the nature of the music. The pieces are long, drawn out affairs, building from silence into shimmering walls of noise and back again. While the sounds themselves have a very electronic, modern feel, there can also be heard the artifacts left behind by analog recording. This delicate balance lends a very personal and sincere quality to the music. While this album works very well played quietly (as typified by ‘ambient’ music), it is worth noting that the tracks really come to life at higher volumes. Only then do you really get to appreciate the gutsy low frequencies and the myriad of micro-sounds to be found within the music.

In all this is a very well realised album by an artist who seems able to do no wrong!

Taku Unami : malignitat 2

Taku Unami : malignitat 2

When improvisation becomes psychological!

In this new recording by Taku Unami expectations are constantly twisted leaving the listener in a perplex and uncomfortable position. We never know what is next: a pig, the wind, a river, a beat, a nasty noise,

silence, clapping, impatience, pleasure, sadism, humor, good taste, a horror movie… or the very nice and polite Unami that we all know. Taku Unami is a master of the on-off. The careful structure that holds malignitat-2 comes from years of investigating silence and tension in the very active Japanese improvised scene that he is part of together with others including Masafumi Ezaki, Kazushige Kinoshita or Taku Sugimoto (Taku has documented these musicians on his amazing hibari music label). Once, when we were about to play a concert, Taku went to the record shop and rented a CD of sound effects, which he then ripped off and played in the concert. This was later to become the famous helicopter sounds from his 1st malignitat record. Of course the CD contained other sounds which are further explored here. So many records of improvisation are about producing “good quality experimental music”. The problem with this type of experimentation that tries to achieve certain aesthetic forms, is that it becomes too self-enclosed and too precious about refined and well worked out sounds. Instead Taku poses questions of what elements can be brought into improvisation and how we perceive and judge them in different ways. Taku Unami is opening up possibilities in improvisation through

exploring new ways of appropriation.

No Xivic : Yksityisyys

No Xivic : Yksityisyys

After three years of austerity and hard work, “Yksityisyys” finally

cracks the living daylight. H. Kyllnen’s second coming is his most

idiosyncratic and convoluted album to date, hence the title

“Yksityisyys”.

“Yksityisyys” is the quality present in a thing or person that gives

intense pleasure & deep satisfaction to the mind, arising from sensory

manifestations (such as shape, color and sound), a meaningful design

and pattern.

“Yksityisyys” provides a perceptual experience of pleasure, moments of

unpleasant and emotional states that involves a complex combination of

emotions. It may be benevolent at time, but slowly it fills the mind

with oily malignancy and drives the mind to the edge of phobia and

nausea.

Containing all cognitive, somatic, emotional and behavioral

components, the manifestations are in balance and one-to-one to the

subjective experience of beauty. Don’t fear the mind, take control and

let the turmoil wind it up.

Tracklist:

1. Kaunotar Ruuturouva

2. Flex Dental Zwei

3. Eteln

4. Koirantappo

5. Pakomatka Pohjoiseen

Michael Northam : Neti Neti

This piece, like much of my work, has little emphasis on conceptual

structures, nor any concrete reference to sources. The intention, as

always, has been to maintain and keep a highly detailed non-

referential sonic mass afloat. Hopefully removing the desire from the

listener to attempt to name what they are listening to. Therefore I

won’t give any further reference other than it features elements from

a particular rainy winter during my residency at ‘Adishakti’ in

Vazhakulam near Pondicherry, South India 2007-08 and the obvious

playing of shakuhachi during a residency this spring at ‘intro in

situ’ in Maastricht.

The title is taken from the Brhadaranyaka Upanishad, where a teacher

is questioned by his students to describe ‘brahman’ (i.e. the

background/source of all that exists). He responds to all questions by

saying that brahman is not this, not that (neti, neti)thereby slowly

dislodging habits of verbal or mental conceptualization. This was a

key tactic that was employed in the Indian philosophy of ‘jhana

yoga’ (knowledge yoga) which is etymologically connected to chan

buddhism which subsequently became zen buddhism.

my technique of non-referential sound ‘composting’ is and has been a

humble attempt to avoid overtly ‘mental’ structures, intending rather

to take the listener to an acousmatic state within which they are

suspended for a while…

The boy stands broken lights The city surrounds him a live buzz He

heard a story once about how all the crows in the city were then up

close like a sudden crash the ghosts of forgotten inhabitants He

thinks he is lost hotrod Lincoln Then he remembers this corner from

before Spit on the sidewalk KING OF THE ROAD He steps over The leaves

they are everywhere Brown and crisp like old bacon The number is 1267

875993 He looks In the windows the streetlights collect into a swarm

of eyes They seem to hover and then pierce the coming night toss it

over there The man sits on a bench Bill says the tape recorder is a

medium for trauma The bus blasts by No news is good news he thinks The

film last night was terribly violent AMYNVULZ what the fuck? He had

dreams about the one character the woman she ran through his apartment

in that blue nightgown that blue nightgown / He thought it was his ex-

wife X marks the spot There is a book on the table called Sidewalk She

flicks through it Its extremely loud in here Noise is your vehicle

This music really sucks She gets up and walks towards the window Where

do you live? Stares at the streetlights Every Highway She thinks the

fall went so fast Already dark Whistling Dixie His brother used to pin

him down and force him to say things Now he writes about it in his

first novel Thwack Thwack-Thwack Bing He gets distracted by the Woody

Allen film on tv capsized ships, fallen eggs He hears the neighbors

upstairs It makes him feel less alone The kids laugh like mad

gangsters bang bang bang On the radio The Clash plays she saw that joe

strummer film lately She hums to herself When the next bus comes by he

grabs a stick and throws it Where is George Hes always late Maybe the

cops got him gotta get out of here.

Idle Sunder – Psygnosis III

Idle Sunder – Psygnosis III

NTT055

The third chapter in the Psygnosis series is bound to draw you in its glorious, surreal journey from start to finish.

Bogdan Dullsky, who has worked with Idle Sunder on the whole Psygnosis trilogy has sent me an email about his views and experiences concerning the collaboration:

“Sharp dualism – opposition of spirit and matter”

Where are we? Between spirit and matter? I have stepped aboard the ship “Idle Sunder” to learn where we are… Anyway, I very much hoped for it. I was affably met by the captain and we have departed on this long trip named “Psygnosis”.

Two years have passed… Now I understand… That it’s not a children’s game… Is it a sect? Perhaps …

All who participates in the project is united through one purpose… To learn the truth tensely and steadfastly peering through “dim bottle glass”…

To learn the world through feelings (music)? It is sometimes sick, sometimes it ennobles.

If you have dared to listen to it, keep in mind… that while it possesses a lot of pleasure, it also carries a lot of tears… a lot of disappointments… And, of course, eternal High… One on all… It is dominant… It seems to me, that I have spent in it one thousand years… Also it is ready to spend eternity in.

We became brothers in arms, have removed masks, have thrown it out to hell…. This world does not see itself without these attributes.

Join, by our ship there are places… It’ll only last for a short while.

“Immemorial quest between spirit and matter, eternal trip” is Psygnosis.

Ephemeral #2:

Gianni Lenoci followed the usual way he use from last three years: just small notated fragments as starting point to jump into improvisation. These small notated fragments are a kind of ” prolific material”. They can be used in several ways: combination, permutation, inversion and so forth, in the same way a sculptor manipulate his materials. Gianni showed to musicians the general gist of the composition and through the process of rehearsal and human relationship the group went to a kind of “structure” with sections, musical figures and gestures, signals and orchestration.

“squeeze what you have ’til last and then go to the other corner.” (Mal Waldron)

Hocus_Pocus Improvisers Orchestra:

The Hocus_Pocus Improvisers Orchestra explores the relationships between improvisation and musical writing in its various forms, including the use of graphic scores, traditional&alternative notations, game pieces and conduction.
