Funny how thing goà I've been living full-time in a city called
LiΦge (Belgium) my entire life until very recently and yet it
took a distributor based in Bruges and a label from Brussels
for me to discover on of the city's most interesting "sons"à
Mind you, the history behind this CD his longer than the
kilometres it took for this music to go from Niko UskΘ in LiΦge
to my parent's place in that very cityà Key to the creation of
this music is a young film maker, Vincent Pinckears. He decided
to go and live with a Mongol family, undertaking a trip that
led him across Russia and Asia. Beck in Belgium, he had enough
images for a film but needed music and contacted Niko UskΘ.
UskΘ asked other musicians to come and join him in the studio,
where they would improvise while the film was projected in
front of them. Once the recordings done (and apparently it took
a while), the result was re-shaped as to be presented to us in
its current state: Moli Herzog.
The source material was played on a host of instruments:
saxophones of all kinds, guitar, double bass, all sorts of
keys, prepared piano, brass instrumentsà And I'm forgetting
quite a few of themà Sometimes, these original tunes are left
alone, but quite often, they are re-worked, with frantic
electronics added. The result is nice, but I tend to prefer the
untouched (or maybe less touched) bits. The large number of
instruments makes that most of the tracks are very colourful,
although not devoid of melancholy. The great Belgian brass band
Sans tambours ni trompettes are guests on two tracks and give a
very festive feeling (feeling that is there on some other
tracks too, it has to be said). Another great moment is the
piece that was performed on the carillon from Grimbergen. For
some reasons, I find this piece to be very emotional. Maybe
because my old school was 100 meters away from LiΦge's
cathedral and that I could hear the carillon every day of the
week?
It's hard to put words on this record and describe it
accurately. I think this is an album that one'd better listen
to than speak about. I've written 400 hundred words about it,
so I find myself saying contradictory things, but anywayà A
very intriguing album, but it will give you moments of sheer
delight.
