The first meeting of Austrian improviser Christof Kurzmann (The Magic I.D., Schee) and Montreal sound artist Elizabeth Millar (Sound of the Mountain, Ensemble Supermusique) in two tremendous multi-part performances live at the 2019 Suoni Per il Popolo Festival in Montreal, works of mysteriously vibratory backdrop, insinuating narrative voice and unsettling sonic interaction.
Format: CD Condition: New Released: 2022 Country: Canada Packaging: Cardstock Sleeve in Plastic Sleeve Recorded live at Suoni Per il Popolo Festival in Montreal, Canada, on June 17th, 2019.
"This recording is the first meeting of Austrian electropop / new music improviser Christof Kurzmann and Canadian/Australian sound artist Elizabeth Millar. Kurzmann's close-mic'd vocals meander over samples and loops and the strumming of an elastic band. Millar combines bass frequencies of motors and pitched ventilation fans with amplified, airy clarinet. From the glassy darkness emerges generous, rare entertainment."-Mystery & Wonder
"As the icesnow fell, the wind was guide to a horizontal blinding effect as tiny darts hit one's eyes. And so it became easier to commit to walking with them closed. The upside of this was that I could now better hear the crystals hitting every surface around me. Metal, plastic, glass, concrete, branches, trash bags, the roofs of buses; all had their signature sound. I could register all angles and reflections, points of contact and ricochet, to situate myself in space. I felt anchored in some strange new way."-Steve Bates
