Austrian drummer percussionist Rudi Fischerlehner (RM, Xenofox, Parrot Feathers, &c) in his first solo album of energetic, polyrhythmic construction, titled for a chance proximity to a note on 15/8 rhythms and Rene Pollesch's book "www-slums", apt for the blend of precise playing and creative abstractions heard in this engaging and propulsive album.
Format: CD Condition: New Released: 2019 Country: UK Packaging: Cardstock foldover Recorded by the artist, except track 5 recorded at Zentrifuge, in 2018 by Tito Toblerone.
"15 8 SLUM is Rudi Fischerlehner's first drum solo album. A note about a rhythm in 15/8 lying side by side with Rene Pollesch's book "www-slums" next to his drumkit by accident lead to the slightly dadaistic title, which seems appropriate to describe the extremes in Fischerlehner's music: polyrhythmic construction on one hand - 15 8 - improvised rhythm-housings leaning against each other and unconscious soundscapes on the other hand - SLUM. It's complex and abstract - and goes to the core instantly."-Nit Applicable
