being friends and admirers of each
other's work for a long time, electronic
music composer / visual artist alva noto
(carsten nicolai) and composer / voice-
artist blixa bargeld (also known as
singer of einstuerzende neubauten and
guitarist of nick cave and the bad
seeds) decided to join forces to
initiate a collaborative project in
2007.
together they developed a musical
concept based on the combination of
improvisation and abstraction. the
impulsive live performance of blixa
bargeld and the elaborated beat
structures and sound landscapes of alva
noto merge to a surprising and
unexpected result. working on their own
experimental material that gains its
strength from the spontaneity of the
live-performance of bargeld's voice as
well as rethinking traditional songs in
their own special manner, they deliver
an outstanding and inspiring musical
blend for their audience.
ôcrystalline noise formations. phrases,
words, syllables of pure sound isolated
until normal sense disappears, leaving
new, unexpected abstractions to emerge.
[...] the most suggestive and nuanced
version of ?i wish i was a mole in the
ground' since bob dylan.ö û sam davies
(the wire 12/09, uk)
the collaboration first staged in
september 2007 when they united for a
special appearance in san francisco to
perform at recombinant media labs
studios. since then they have recorded
several tracks, five of which will be
released on a preliminary ep on raster-
noton (r-n 120) in spring 2010. a full
length album with 10 tracks (r-n 121)
will be released some weeks later. The
release will be followed by a live tour
at various festivals and concert halls
in europe in june/september 2010.
ret marut handshake comes as limited
edition on 12ô vinyl only.
