Navigating an atypical musical expedition, BURNT
FRIEDMANS unusual trajectory curved its way
through an adolescent obsession with percussion
and a singular dedication to amassing a
self-recorded audio-library dating from1978. What
followed in the late 80ties was a period of art
academia, performance and video art, then
immersion in the first flurry of collaborative
music projects. Since 1993 he released records
under various names, such as NONPLACE URBAN FIELD
(ninja tune 1994), DROME(ninja tune 1993)and began
working as FLANGER (ninja tune 1997) with UWE
SCHMIDT AKA ATOMÖ. As a result of annual travels
to Australia and New Zealand THE NU DUB PLAYERS
(scape 1999) took shape in 1997. In the year 2000
FRIEDMAN founded his own labe lNonplace to ensure
continuity for diverse musical adventures.The
first collaborative effort in 2001 "Secret
Rhythms" with JAKI LIEBEZEIT & JOSEPH SUCHY
successfully combined odd meter rhythms,
improvisation between electronic and acoustic
instruments and a global view on music. Nowadays,
BURNT FRIEDMAN is still programming beats and
chords but is also working with a lot of
international top level musicians; one of them is
the New Zealander, HAYDEN CHISHOLM, composer and
reed player of THE EMBASSADORS (to be released on
Nonplace in October 2007). Probably most known to
the public is BURNT FRIEDMANS group project with
DAVID SYLVIAN & STEVE JANSEN: NINE HORSES
(samadhisound 2005). During 2001 the very first
sketches for "First Night Forever" were brought to
tape and developed further until 2007. You may
recognize one or another rhythmic pattern from
"Secret Rhythms" amongst the album tracks, but no
particular methods were conceived to create the
songs. BURNT FRIEDMANS sound-sculpting signature
has fully developed intuitively. The emotional
maximalism of the instrumentals inspires singers
of all genres to tune in : STEVE SPACEK
(http://www.myspace.com/stevespacek,
http://www.stevespacek.com/) was formerly signed
to Island records. His album contribution was
written and engineered by himself in Sydney, May
2007 while embroiled in his own solo production.
Except for STEVE SPACEK all singers recorded with
BURNT FRIEDMAN in his Cologne Nonplace studio.
ENIK is an incredibly talented singer and producer
from Munich, his first EP came out on Germanys
Wonder records, this was when BURNT FRIEDMAN took
notice. ENIK signed a deal with EMI and produced a
full length album. His latest release was
presented online: http://www.myspace.com/enikenik.
Berlin singer and composer BARBARA PANTHER is
currently creating her debut album. She appears on
record for the first time.(
http://www.myspace.com/barbarapanther). 3 album
tracks feature singer and performing artist THEO
ALTENBERG from Berlin. Formerly a member of the
Viennese Otto Muehl Commune, he is known for his
photographs documenting the life of the commune
from 1973-1978. DANIEL DODD-ELLISIS from
Austin/Texas. He currently rehearsing as the main
protagonist in an upcoming Robert Wilson theatre
piece. Although the complete spectrum of 7 years
psychedelic audio wizardry is guaranteed, the
records aim to reach a wide audience is clearly
intended.
Burnts earlier solo productions Con Ritmo (non03
2000), Plays Love Songs (non05 2001), and Can't
Cool (non13 2003) might have confused one or
another by stylistic freedom and an intricate
perfectionism, First Night Forever will simply
enthrall everyone with a sense for eroticism.
