Since the mid-90s more and more boundaries between rock,
electronica, and jazz have been broken down. The Tied & Tickled
Trio is known for pushing genre mix-ups even a bit further.
Combining sampling and editing techniques with traditional
(collective) improvising, this band works like a strong but
sophisticated machine. Several layers of soundscapes and
(programmed as well as drum stick driven) beat patterns are created
for elaborate jazz saxophone tunes to surf on top of them.
The tenor sax provides an edgy element that typical post-rock
outfits lack in their featureless instrumental crawl through wide
spread sound textures.
The Tied & Tickled 'Trio' consists of more than three musicians.
There are six permanent members. Apart from the acclaimed jazz
saxophonist Johannes Enders, who comes from a rather academical
background, those people can be seen as the core group of a
Weilheim/Germany based music scene, which in the course of the last
decade has established a rich and promising diy-avantgarde. Bands
like the Notwist, Village of Savoonga, Potawatomi, Console or
Loopspool, to name but a few, worked out very individual approaches
to indie-rock, noise, jazz and electronics.
When the Tied & Tickled Trio's first album appeared on
Kollaps/Payola, it coincided with a general atmosphere of
open-mindedness. Back then, more and more people had started to be
interested in all kinds of musical styles and genres and their ears
tended to cope with all sorts of strange and abstract noises. Re:
ea1 ea2 rmx - Usually a remix results from rather extended editing
sessions, but in the end it can be compared with an improvised
version of an 'original' track, whose elements, structures and
textures it re-works and re-uses more or less detailedly.
As the Tied & Tickled Trio is very much involved in jazz aesthetics
and improvising techniques, a remix compilation seems to fit
extremely well in the band's discography.
ea1 ea2 was released in 1999. Now several producers were asked for
a reinterpretation of the material. Confronted with the density of
the original tracks, they had no choice but either translating the
complexities of the collective powers of concentration into
complexities of loop layers, or simply concentrating on and
pointing out single elements. Remixers include Opiate, Christof
Kurzmann, Max.Ernst, Console, Wechsel Garland, Kandis, and Gustavo
Lamas. --www.forcedexposure.com
