Axel Dörner hails from Cologne, and has been living in Berlin since 1994. He is one of the busiest musicians in the European improv scene, working in projects ranging from free improv ensembles like the Territory Band (Okkadisk) and Hidros One (Caprice) to more abstract work with Annette Krebs, Günter Müller and Andrea Neumann. Kevin Drumm lives in Chicago, and has quickly risen to prominence since the release of his debut self-titled record (Perdition Plastics) in 1997. He's released superb duo records with Taku Sugimoto and Martin Tétreault (Particles and Smears), as well as an upcoming one with Ralf Wehowsky. Dörner and Drumm have performed together many times over the last few years, both as a duo and as a trio with drummer Paul Lovens. |
Axel
Dörner - Kevin Drumm Axel Dörner and Kevin Drumm are two of the most exciting improvisers in the world. Dörner is at the forefront of a handful of young trumpeters who are reexamining the instrument, approaching it from entirely different perspectives, while Drumm's chameleon-like presence has been documented on a handful of projects, each revealing new facets of his wide-ranging and unique talents on both guitar and electronics. This untitled CD was compiled from two different studio sessions, one in Chicago in February 2000, and the second in Vienna in October 2000, and reflects some of the wide range of the approaches which this duo utilize. Dörner and Drumm seamlessly meld the worlds of acoustic and electronic, occasionally teetering on the edge of silence, yet always remaining impeccably musical. "Ever since I first heard about Axel Dörner (courtesy of Mats Gustafsson - "He's inhuman!"), I’ve secretly been waiting for this recording. Dörner's "inhuman" ability to paradoxically master his instrument's most unstable areas finds an ideal partner in Drumm’s own sonic destabilizations. Together they create a complex, mottled web of sound-in-flux. Taut, electric, and thoroughly engaging!" -- Greg Kelley 5 tracks in 51:25 minutes More Erstwhile One Final Note Review :::>>> Tell A Friend About This CD From Drimala If you like this cd, you might also enjoy listening to: Schnee (Stangl and Kurzmann) Breathing (Steve Nelson-Raney and Hal Rammel) Forlorn Green (Greg Kelley and Jason Lescalleet) Trumpet (Greg Kelley) Phosphor (Beins, Bosetti, Dörner, Hayward, Krebs, Neumann, Renkel, Schick) Pith Balls and Inclined Planes (Jeff Kaiser and Ernesto Diaz-Infante) Tuba Libre (Giancarlo Schiaffini) Claque (Dörner, Lonberg-Holm, Zerang) Breathing (Steve Nelson-Raney and Hal Rammel) Window Shopping (Rajesh Mehta) |
