Release Notes:
An experimental electronic-acoustic trio associated with the French label
InfinΘ, Aufgang made their eponymous album debut in 2009. Comprised of Francesco
Tristano (piano; born Francesco Tristano SchlimΘ in Luxembourg in 1981, based in
Barcelona, Spain), Rami KhalifΘ (piano; born in Beirut, Lebanon), and Aymeric
Westrich (drums, programming; born in France), the trio made its performance
debut in 2005 at the S≥nar festival in Barcelona. Aufgang were founded several
years earlier, however, when Tristano and KhalifΘ were students at the Juilliard
School in New York. Billing themselves as Aufgang, they performed a piano duet
at the Julliard School's Morse Hall in 2000 and performed other duets there in
2002 and 2003. They also performed duets elsewhere, from Luxembourg to Lebanon,
but it wasn't until 2005 that they added Westrich to the lineup and expanded to
a trio. Meanwhile, Tristano established himself as a solo recording artist,
recording the full-length album Not for Piano in France in October 2005 with
producer Fernando Corona. Eventually released in 2007 on the French label
InfinΘ, Not for Piano includes a few techno-inspired songs: "Strings," based on
Derrick May's "Strings of Life"; "Andover," based on Autechre's "Overand"; and
"The Bells," based on the Jeff Mills track. Several other songs on the album
were written by and feature the piano of KhalifΘ. In addition to Not for Piano,
InfinΘ released a couple EPs, Strings (2006) and The Melody (2008), the former
including a techno remix by Apparat and the latter including one by Carl Craig,
and the full-length album Auricle / Bio / On (2008), a collaboration with Moritz
von Oswald. Following these techno collaborations, Tristano teamed up with
KhalifΘ and Westrich for Aufgang (2009), the trio's eponymous album debut, and
Sonar (2009), a four-track remix EP, both released on InfinΘ.
