Keith Rowe, who is best known for his groundbreaking work with AMM (the seminal improvising collective he co-founded in 1965 with Eddie Prévost and Lou Gare), also currently leads the Music In Movement Electronic Orchestra, an all-star group featuring many of Europe's premier electronic musicians. Over the last few years, Rowe has also been pursuing numerous projects outside of his two primary projects, releasing superb records with Burkhard Beins, as well as his solo work, most recently documented on the difficult to digest but very strong Harsh (Grob). |
The World
Turned Upside Down Keith Rowe (tabletop guitar, electronics) Günter Müller (electronics, selected drums) Taku Sugimoto (guitar) The World Turned Upside Down documents the group's first meeting as a trio (and the first meeting ever between Rowe and Sugimoto), captured in vivid detail in concert at Parisian improv club, Les Instants Chavires in October of '99. The performance builds upon Sugimoto's guitar reflections, with Rowe and Müller slowly tracing jagged spirals around his ever-evolving line. Much like an AMM performance, this is a journey with no discernible beginning or end, striking a precarious balance between tranquility and turbulence. "The trio evolves into an electroacoustic ecosystem of insect chirps, bog-creature glissandi and Sugimoto's lone guitar qua guitar, whose ghostly presence soaks the proceedings with a sober grace. No strangers to the art of palpable restraint, the participants create a masterpiece of understatement in an idiom as unforced as it is entrancing."-Robert Lim Label Profile from One Final Note :::>>> Tell A Friend About This CD From Drimala If you like this cd, you might also enjoy listening to: La Voyelle Liquide (Müller, Ninh) Crashing The Russian Renaissance (Diaz-Infante, Lx Rudis, André Custodio) Free Improv for Robots (Broken Record Chamber) Knack On (Voice Crack) Weather Sky (Rowe and Nakamura) DUAL (Theriault and Chang) Nouvelles (Jean-Mark Foussat) Belle-View I-IV (Müller, Widmer, Bosshard) Zeug Für Schlagquartett (Schlagquartett Köln) Deluxe Improvisation Series (Brett Larner in Japan) |
