«One might have expected more noise from a performance on turntables, electronics and percussion, but these three improvisers have created a wonderfully subdued performance, with mostly quiet sounds, low noises, feedback, found sounds, scraping, scratching and vibrating noises woven together with great care and deliberation. The players perform admirably together, and seem to be sensitive to the slightest movements, complimenting each other's contributions and allowing the entire performance to breathe with a unique spaciousness… Subtle and intriguing, to say the least. An excellent new release on FOR4EARS.» «'Streaming' entwickelt bei niedrigem Geräuschpegel eien kontinuierlichen Sog… Nach FOR4EARS-Einspielungen mit den Turntablemeistern Christian Marclay, Otomo Yoshihide und Erik M ist diese CD mit Dieb 13 wohl die am meisten in die Zukunft weisende.» «L'analogie entre les jeux de ces deux batteurs et le principe du mix et de la boucle qui fonde l'art du dijing est étonnant… Fascinant jeu avec les vitesses, où les sons se distendent ou se condensent, transformant l'écoute.» «… this is probably the quietest session involving two drummers ever made. … many times the session appears to be the soundtrack for a trans-continental journey by fast train. The three musicians are definitely set up to make the trip as pleasant and transparent as possible.» «These five mysterious and austere tracks are further evidence of the drift in improvised music, especially electronic, away from 'traditional' motivic interplay towards a certain reductionism, manifest either through greater use of silence or, as is the case here, extended, slow-moving sound tableaux.» «One would think that with a lineup like this, there would be a lot of volume and aggression but nothing could be further from the truth. … These alien soundscapes can transport the attuned listener, which is the most one can ask of any music.» «One may expect total percussion mayhem and plunderphonica on top, but nothing such is the case here. The electronica elements of both percussion players is a strong element in this music, but it's a subtle play between live percussion and sampling. So subtle that it's hard to see which sounds are played 'live' and which are sampled. Kahn and Muller certainly are two players who are matched together. The elements thrown in by Dieb13 form an interesting counterpoint to the subtle interactions of Kahn and Muller. … The whole scenery is one of majestic calmness, a distant sound, a blurred photograph. This is the kind of improvisation that I like very much..» |
