MORI, IKUE & CHRISTIAN RONN - Chordis Et Machina

Format: LP Label & Cat.Number: Resipiscent - RSPT050 Release Year: 2018 Note: meeting of two experienced musicians/composers (IKUE MORI was drummer for DNA, inside DEATH AMBIENT with FRED FRITH, etc..) at EMS in Stockholm, for these 5 stimulating 'microscopic otherworlds" improvisations... "Endless probing that hooks into your neurons, this album leaves sonic organisms floating around you. Even if that's merely an illusion, the alchemy of Mori and Rønn’s hyperactive stew is very real." [Marc Masters] Price (incl. 19% VAT): €23.00 More Info "Ikue Mori and Christian Rønn are the superlative electroacoustic duo, well “duo” unless you count the instruments themselves and you should. Rather than contain with rigid composition, these twin masters of unrule remain radically attuned, open to resonance of time and sound, invoking even the personhood of space and object, chordis et machina. You´ll soon see, once this music gets loose to join you in your own environ. “Endless probing that hooks into your neurons, this album leaves sonic organisms floating around you. Even if that's merely an illusion, the alchemy of Mori and Rønn’s hyperactive stew is very real.” [Marc Masters] No meandering muddiness, the precision and responsiveness of this heady collaboration steps swiftly from fine grit distortions to leaky sinewaves, sweeping from the playfully melodic to the seriously xenomorphic. As prepared-piano hammers against braiding electronics, each possibility unfurls the next. Tossed from the final groove, you'll hike up your needle and want to plunge right back in.
