Sachiko M - sampler with sine wave
Otomo Yoshihide - records, CDs
Filament, normally comprised of the duo of Otomo Yoshihide and
Sachiko M., is joined here by Swiss percussionist/electronicist
Gunter Muller for a series of calm, sparse improvisations which
are eerily evocative and strangely beautiful. By "limiting"
themselves to fairly low-tech electronics and by simply
relaxing and taking their time to investigate each sound-world
encountered, this trio succeeds brilliantly in keeping the
listener extraordinarily interested and focused, as the sounds
tumble forward in logical yet surprising fashion. There tend to
be high and low frequency borders established by Sachiko's sine
waves and low, throbbing drones (presumably supplied by Otomo),
sandwiching all manner of midrange activity by Muller on
delicate percussion and Otomo's turntablism. Throughout,
there's a warm and inviting quality not always found on
recordings in this genre, the various hums generally taking on
a consonant nature and the rhythmic patterns muted instead of
harsh. But it's the non-stop inventiveness of the musicians
involved which make this such a success and a superb example of
the heights this type of music can achieve.
