Marc Richter's new Black to Comm offering "Charlemagne &
Pippin" churns out a slowly, methodically building single-tone
battleship, that somehow manages to become more powerful,
hopeful, and grandiose as it oscillates. Richter's
characteristic organ noise is rounded off beautifully with
various electronics, bells, metal percussion, toys, water, and
violins, provided by band members Renate Nikolaus and Ulf
Schⁿtte ,which grow around the central note yet slowly move to
the center themselves. The Bursting electronics, white noise,
and buzzes become more frequent and attempt to overpower the
mighty organ.
Together, these three musicians bring about a musical pairing
that suits the title. A pairing of power and play, father and
son, age and youth. Its probably best to turn the lights off
and the speakers up for this meditative 35 minute slab of
drone excellence.
