Konkrete Geräuschmusik und "konkrete Stille" auf diesem Piano/Computer-Improvisationsalbum, welches "organisch" wirkende akustische Räume schafft.... wieder ein starkes und volle Konzentration erforderndes Album mit Beteiligung von JASOH KAHN !
" 'Breathings' was recorded one afternoon at Gabriel paiuk's house in Buenos Aires on November 30, 2004. The recording and its title can best be summed up with Gabriel's thoughts, 'I felt many times that the whole disc created a feeling of continuity in which each piece seemed to me like an extended 'breathing,' each piece as one single breath. Even a feeling of something in which one experiences the music through breathing.'
Gabriel Paiuk: As a composer Gabriel paiuk works within the exploration of conventional instruments, extended techniques as well as with electronics, focusing on concrete sounds and the exploration and co-existence of different electronic and acoustic 'registers'. As a pianist he is particularly focused on improvisation, performing regularly in Buenos Aires since 2000, with other concerts in Berlin, Brussels, Barcelona, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Lisbon, Fresnes-en-Woevre and New York. He has performed with Andrea Neumann, Jason Kahn, Axel Doerner, Burkhard Beins, Rhodri Davies, Keith Rowe, Lucio Capece, Robin Hayward and many others.
Jason Kahn: Grew up in the United States and moved to Europe in 1990. He performs both solo and together with musicians like Arnold Dreyblatt, Dieb 13, Steinbrüchel, Kim Cascone, John Hudak, Steve Roden, Brandon Labelle, Günter Müller, Kevin Drumm, Voice Crack, Toshimaru Nakamura and many others. He has given concerts in Japan, Korea, Lebanon, Europe, Australia, North and South America, Turkey, Israel and Russia. Various solo and collaborative recordings released on Cut, the label he started in 1997, as well as Sirr, For4Ears, Brombron, Rossbin, Antifrost, Domizil, ATAK, Table of the Elements, Creative Source, Formed and Crouton. He has exhibited numerous sound installations in North and South America and Europe. Kahn lives in Zürich, Switzerland." [press release]
