Excerpt
from the booklet:
(…) If mutation is an integral part of evolution then CORA
and REICHEL are mutagenic agents working to further the evolution
of sound. Changing the shape of his instrument, REICHEL has
produced a series of sculptural guitars whose possibilities
add now dimensions of underwater and aetherial sonorities
to the basic vocabulary: with Frith and Frisell , he is one
of a handful of contemporary guitarists who have been able
to add to the revolutionary contributions made by Bailey and
Hendrix in the sixties. CORA´s cello is, likewise, not a scared
object meant only to be approached by the properly reverential,
dressed in formal attire, but, quite literally, a sounding
board for all sorts of unusual concepts. His use of cello-resonated
devices allows him to amplify any number of small sounds,
that, alone, might seem insignificant, but that become laden
with meaning and import when expanded and passed through this
vessel of tradition. And REICHEL´s daxophone, a deceptive
simple yet fiendishly ingenious set of small sculptures, lends
itself to the even more outlandish transfigurations, as bits
of bowed and otherwise manipulated wood give out with the
voices of an operatic diva, a wailing clarinet, a flock of
waterfowl.
Listening to these recordings, it is possible to imagine all
sorts of things, but the easiest thing to imagine is also
the only one that is untrue. One´s ears are not being deceived:
all of these sounds exist in, and have been produced in, real
time. Only the most basic electronic assistants have been
used; there are no high-priced samplers, no forty-eight-track
sleights of hand here. Using the simplest of ingredients,
sound, time, and imagination, TOM CORA and HANS REICHEL have
produced a world unlike any other, and now it is your turn
to wander freely in it. |
