sample the album:
![]() "The work of the five musicians and performance artists from Germany, Italy, France and USA is settled between Weird Pop, Avanttrash, Free Improvised Music, Mediterranean Folklore and Noise Drones. As the artists are coming from different social and musical backgrounds, the recording is not just a mix of sounds and names but a creation of unique and exciting experiences."-Corvo Records "Excellent record of improvised music recorded at a Berlin venue and played by an international five-piece of musicians. The American percussionist Gino Robair might be known to some of you, but for me Ezramo is quite a revelation; this Italian player delivers some tremendous effects with her distinctive vocalisations, her zither playing, and sampler-playing; I'm looking forward to hearing her solo LP on this label. Two guitarists, David Fenech and Wendelin Büchler complete the band, plus there's the guest trumpeter Argo Ulva; everyone contributes electronic elements to the crackling environment as well. I think what I like most here is the strong sense of cooperation, leading to a very productive musical workplace; no showing off, much genuine dynamic interaction. To this I would add the overall group imagination, the highly pleasing mixtures of sounds and playing styles, and the way that incredibly free and open music can be produced in a orderly and civilised manner, without the need for frenetic frottage and hand-gesturing every five minutes in order to achieve a climax. (...) The theme is picked up by the child-like drawings on the cover (I particularly like the crude drawings of various handguns) which indicates that it might be more of a piece of sloganeering than a thought-through political statement, but it's nice to see some social criticism back in the world of free improv again. We haven't had much of that sort of radical thinking since John Stevens in the 1970s (though Charles Hayward made good efforts). Recommended record; great music, compressed, exquisite, taut, and beautifully recorded and presented too. Nearly perfect."Ed Pinsent, The Sound Projector #20 - All Vinyl Issue Edition of 500 handnumbered copies. ![]() Vinyl Recordings Improvised Music Electro-Acoustic Electro-Acoustic Improv Quintet Recordings Instruments with Preparations Instant Rewards |
