Вот любопытное описание концерта в ICA.
a real adventure, (maybe not for the guy sat next to me it seems, who fell asleep slumped against me before the music began and didn’t wake up until two minutes from the end, but anyway…) following it through
its twists and turns, dead ends and open spaces

Paul Abbott, Grundik Kasyansky "Green ribbon residue, in this case"
Recorded in Dalston, London, 2008
cathnor
Пол - один из самых любимых лондонских музыкантов. Мягкий, интеллегентный - и абсолютно (до невменяемости) неожиданный. Играешь с ним, и теряешься в непонятках - то ли оцепенеет на пол сета, то ли перевернет стол. Кроме того, он - очень талантливый и категорически некоммерческий графический дизайнер. По моему, это парадокс, но вот его сайт.
Да, он еще и снимает кино (там на сайте есть несколько примеров).
Название альбома придумал Пол. Я до сих пор теряюсь в догадках, что он имел ввиду.

2:42 pm - WIRE review

Another Timbre is one of those labels with a name – like Blue Note, Impulse! Or AUM Fidelity – that resonates with the sound of the music it releases. Founded in 2007 by Simon Reynell, a television sound recordist disillusioned at the state of broadcast media (especially in his own field of documentary making), the label has developed a robust core identity with a catalogue of 19 discs with as many distinct perspectives on quiet, lowercase Improv.
Except, of course, the full picture is more complicated. Reynell has also issued composed music by John Cage and Frank Denyer, while Improvisations for Shakuhachi and Ney finds Clive Bell and Bechir Saade building around another cultural construct altogether. But Reynell's nuanced, detailed approach to recording has had the effect of prompting improvisors into exploring uncharted margins of atomised sound, secure in the knowledge that their explorations will be faithfully reproduced. This sequence of four releases, all recorded in London during March and April this year, comes under the Another Timbre Byways tag – a satellite series of CD-R recordings designed as a sort of inexpensive audio blog documenting a specific moment in time.
Control and its Opposites featuring Jamie Coleman (trumpet), Grundik Kasyansky (electronics) and Seymour Wright (alto saxophone) is a typical Another Timbre project. Recorded at the Church of St.James the Great in Friern Barnet, North London, the disc opens with the exterior ambience of faint traffic rumble and leaves blowing on trees framing a context for the music to come: Coleman's marvellously chameleon-like trumpet zones into the bountiful harmony of this external background, his supple, breathy overtones weaving around textures and timbres spotlighted by the immaculate recording. Kasyansky's electronic rig occasionally blurts out ear-splitting shockers, but otherwise probes the emerging continuum. In the latter stages of this 80-minute improvisation, Wright sporadically punctures the flow with seemingly incongruous Fire Music-like shrieks. But listen closer and you realise that he has managed to harness the impetus behind the sound, while ditching the stylistic reference itself. Yes, another timbre.
The church acoustic figures once again in Meshes, featuring French trombonist Mathias Forge with Phil Julian (electronics) and David Papapostolou (cello), also recorded in Friern Barnet, with a second 'live' track cut a few days previously. Forge's burping trombone, Papapostolou's percussive cello and Julian's electronics stutter onwards in a procession of knocks and rattles that ricochet against the resonant acoustic. While, in another context, those same gestures might imply velocity and speed, these acoustic realities divert the music towards a more meandering, leisurely paced structure that is intriguingly at odds with its material.
On Loiter Volcano Ute Kanngiesser approaches the cello with a wholly other mindset to Papapostolou's. A striking sequence of high-register pizzicato notes is heard against the twanging cartoon violence of Léo Dumont's percussion and Paul Abbott's electronics. As the Heath Robinson mechanism unwinds, her drones and arpeggiations move with the grain of her instrument. But she hijacks that grain, twisting cello mannerisms into distorted shapes as she processes the electronic and percussion onslaught. Scrub, violinist Matt Milton's duo with Léo Dumont, isn't bad, but feels more like generic free Improv than the other three. But it does underscore how exacting a language Reynell's concepts of recording improvised music have provoked, and in such a short time.”

November 17th, 7.30
Institute of Contemprorary Art, London
9!
Это дрим тим и ту гуд ту би тру, любимые люди все вместе в одной компании.
Drummer Eddie Prévost cofounded the experimental music improvisation ensemble AMM in 1965; the group were pioneers of free improvisation, consciously aiming to play outside of existing musical structures. Since 1999 Prévost has convened weekly improvisation workshops which attract a huge range of international players. 9! sprang out of these workshops; a group of nine musicians with a diverse approach to instrumentation and electronics. This version of 9! will be: Eddie Prévost, Seymour Wright, Ross Lambert, Jamie Coleman, Sebastian Lexer, Grundik Kasyansky, Guillaume Viltard, Paul Abbott and Ute Kanngiesser.

Interlace concert series
Following on from an Interlace concert earlier in the year that featured combinations of piano and saxophone, this installment will focus on different ways of combining piano, strings and electronics. Each individual's relationship with their instrument - and how their particular approaches and interactive skills are deployed in the context of particular trios - will doubtless produce some very interesting, and inevitably unique, results.

11:09 am - Еще одна рецензия на Контроль
|
По моему, довольно бессмысленная. Забавно, несмотря на то, что тексты и впечатления знакомых на счет альбома вполне положительные, меня не покидает ощущение, что музыка в целом не понята. Похоже, писатели чувствуют, что за этими звуками стоит идея (не концепция альбома, а именно идея - определенная этика в подходе к звукоизвлечению, и вообще к любому действию или недействию). Но о чем речь не прорубают. Впрочем, я и сам не очень-то прорубаю, винить писателей не в чем:) Первый писатель, который обратил внимание на название альбома, хотя и интерпретировал его ...эээ ...своеобразно:)
Jamie Coleman/Grundik Kasyansky/Seymour Wright
Control And Its Opposites
Another Timbre Byways
2009
Like Paul Abbott and Ute Kanngiesser, above, all three members of this trio are participants in drummer and percussionist Eddie Prevost's weekly Friday Workshop which seems to provide a continuous supply of fresh inventive improvisers to the London scene. Here they produce one unbroken 80 minute improvisation. The three are equal partners despite trumpeter Jamie Coleman and alto saxophonist Seymour Wright being more experienced than electronicist Grundik Kasyansky. Initially, the soundscape is comparatively sparse, with individual contributions being restrained--maybe out of caution about the resonances of the church where it was recorded. Each of the three dips in and out throughout the piece and they rarely all play together. As the piece progresses, individual contributions become more garrulous. But the three rarely make obvious reactions to each other, so this feels less like a collective improvisation, more like three simultaneous solo improvisations that take care not to get in each other's way. The combination of its duration and restraint enable this music to be “just there” for long periods, only occasional details demanding attention before fading away again. So, as the title suggests, much control is in evidence but few signs of its opposites (whatever they may be.) Yes, ambient improv.

Оказывается, документальное кино про иерусалимский лейбл "Факт" выложено в сети.
Картинки из прошлой жизни. Мне кино показалось немного не про то.
но все равно - кусочки истории.
От нашего со Славой ребяческого бреда навернулась непрошеная слеза.
Впрочем, нас то там как раз минимально.

Extracts from an introduction to an experimental improvisation workshop:
"Each musician should look at the materials they use for making music, as an infinite resource for sound production […] the relationship between musician and sound source is fluid and capable of far more responses that can be imagined. Imagination itself is stimulated — ignited— only by practice. The musician is urged to try and search without specific objectives and even without hope or expectation of finding anything. Paradoxically this can lead to undreamt of results. These findings become part of the musician. They are part of self-invention."
"[Simultaneously it is suggested] that the musician refers to and extends the openness of enquiry, to the other participating musicians and what they are doing. For here, I contend, there is an infinitude greater than that encountered in our relationship with mere static material."
"Playing then, becomes a way of experiencing and accessing constantly renewable energy — that is consequently free of expectation and formula. It is full flowing cognition."

Ричард Пинелл написал длинную рецензию на Контроль. По моему, очень любопытную.
The music feels very tactile, recently formed, like a sculpture fresh with the fingerprints of its creators before going into the kiln to be fired, before being transformed into a vaguely marketable object.

Jamie Coleman/Grundik Kasyansky/Seymour Wright - Control and Its Opposites
Eighty minutes of trumpet/electronics and alto sax. Here, the length works in its favor. An advantage, oddly, to listening at home (and reading the back of the sleeve): You know it's 80 minutes long so you "read" it as such, as it's happening, sitting back a bit, seeking a wider focus. Wright gets nicely strident here and there, Coleman generally staying with breath tones early on, getting more vociferous later, Kasyansky hither and yon (some well modulated radio), doing a fine job integrating and coloring. There's a break almost an hour in and one wouldn't have been surprised or disappointed had it ended there, but happily it does not, the ensuing 20 or so minutes taking on a kind of AMMish quality (replete with brief Sheryl Crow and "Blue Moon" captures), all subdued tension. Rather rare, that, after a relatively lengthy set. Good job.
