three years ago, laptopper and clarinettist christof kurzmann┤s
first outing on his charhizma label, the bright orange charhizma
002, teamed him with polwechsel┤s werner dafeldeckeron double bass
and electronics, and guests kevin drumm, christian fennesz and jim
o┤rourke. on it┤s belated sequel, featuring the same art but this
time in garrish fluorescent green, dafeldecker and kurzmann are
joined ba the various electronic devices of drumm, erik m, dieb13
and jΘrome noetinger.
once moore sourced from concert recordings made in berlin, graz
and vienna in 2000 and 2001, the five tracks are mixed together to
form a continuous span of music, which is sucked down a black hole
after 48 minutes. eight minutes later it rematerialises as the
obligatory ghost track, that rounds off the cd duration to exactly
one hour. perhaps due to kurzmann┤s affection for techno, which
surfaces periodically in his gently clicking loops, ist
predecessor was misguidedly described as ambient. the truth is,
"ambient" listening is not good enough for appreciating this
music┤s many subtleties. this album is more focused, and not
without ist lighter moments, notably from marseille┤s erik m, who
fires a volley of prepared piano samples and what sounds like a
hunting party into the mix. elsewhere, the rich reedy tones of
dafeldecker┤s bass and the all too human flutters of kurzmann┤s
disarmingly fragile clarinet fit surprisingly well with
noetinger┤s self-styled primitive electronics and dieb13┤s grainy
electronic turntable drizzle.
