Many of the collaborations in the In the Fishtank series have worked
surprisingly well ù see numbers six, seven, and eight for examples. But
this one, with four-fifths of Sonic Youth (Kim Gordon is absent, but Jim
O'Rourke is present) with percussionist William Winant; Terrie and Luc
Ex; and Han Bennink, Ab Baars, and Wolter Wierbos of the ICP Orchestra
(you didn't think we meant Insane Clown Posse, did you?) is a wonder.
Label Konkurrent Records, located in the Netherlands, usually asks
touring artists to select someone they want to collaborate with, which
results in a half-hour or less of music. This wild set is comprised of
eight numbered (not consecutive) pieces. What is so interesting about
the entire recording is how much everyone participates in creating
something fresh and new, without anybody getting in anybody else's way.
The spirit of cooperation and the excitement of discovery here are both
prescient. The result is neither rock nor jazz, but a free-form music
that dispenses with formality and ego and goes for the heart of the thing
itself. Here are languages and interactions in a dialect that is so
secret that it doesn't even make itself known to the musicians until the
moment of articulation. Wierbos and Bennink are particularly canny in the
way they work with the varying tonal dispositions of the various guitars.
Winant follows Bennink's lead and plays under him as a way of accenting
what can only be called chromatic rhythm. Dynamic ranges are wide and
gradual, filled with the twists and turns that conical tonalities and
shifts in timbral consciousness reveal when they are offered as ideas
rather than statements. For nearly a half-hour, the listener gets to
eavesdrop on the purest kind of music-making by those dedicated to
nothing else than the pursuit of its creation. - Thom Jurek (All Music
Guide)

...ABOUT.................................
rH has been releasing stuff for about three years now. although we
committed ourselves to release only stuff roughly characterized by the terms
punkrock and hardcore we played a big role in the mp3 scene in our three
years of existence. a main concept of rH has always been the idea of a
leaderless group. decisions are met on the base of discussion, rather than
authority and hierarchy. this way of handling issues can be pretty annoying
sometimes, as it can take ages to agree on certain issues and get stuff
done. however, the occasionally lack of organisation is a sacrifice rH is
willing to make, to guarantee individual freedom and thus a relaxed
atmosphere. after all it's amazing that we've kept the machine running for
about three years this way.
recently the founder of rH left the group. that was for sure sad, but to take
this step was probably a good decision for both the group and himself.
farewell, beloved chief-munkey! besides currently undergoing some
structural changes, we are still alive and proud to put out rH release
number 5000 and further!
we know that our releases may contribute to the growing sale loss of record
companies. generally that's no big deal of course, the whining of the record
industry is pathetic and we encourage everyone to pirate their music.
unfortunately the style we release is very often put out by small,
independant labels which work on a very low-profit basis, actually dependent
on record sales. so significant loss of sales in this case doesn't mean some
rockstar is making a few million less on his latest nu-metal album than he
used to, but us loosing the opportunity to listen to good music.
therefore we ask you not to distribute this release on public sites or
peer to peer networks! please do not consider this release as a substitute
to the original, but as a way to promote new bands and check out records
before you buy them.
so we urge you to support the bands, attend their shows, buy their vinyls,
cds and tshirts. so far there's a fairly good network of underground labels
providing us with outputs from awesome bands, your ongoing support is
required to keep the scene alive!
