KUWAYAMA-KIJIMA - 01.05.10.

Format: CD Label & Cat.Number: Alluvial Recordings AL015 Release Year: 2003 Price (incl. 19% VAT): €10.00 More Info Die beiden japanischen Streicher mit 5 live-Improvisationen auf Cello, Violine und Viola. Uneffektierte, hochabstrakte Klang.-Interaktionen von großer Dynamik und Expressivität. “Kiyoharu Kuwayama (cello, violin) and Rina Kijima (violin, viola) have been creating rich, flowing live improvisations for some years. On previous efforts, they have recorded improvisational pieces under a highway interpass whereby the environmental sounds of the area are heard in the background of each piece. Much of this music is to be heard on the trente oiseaux, gg, and 20 City labels, to name a few. With this release, we hear a refinement of this sound as the improvisations found on this CD were recorded in the empty warehouse no.20. Gone are passing cars and other incidental sounds. This work gives us the chance to hear the beautiful interplay of these two gifted musicians that is flawlessly recorded and leaves no detail unheard or muffled. The CD is packaged between five beautiful double sided cards containing artwork from Kiyoharu that suggests alchemy and the melting of sound. An edition of 400.“ [press release]
