More Info

Nicolas Malevitsis is probably best known for his Absurd label, releasing CDs and CDRs of all kinds of experimental music, but he has dabbled around himself with experimental music too. Here he releases a recording of himself on turntable and Nikos Veliotis on cello. Veliotis released an excellent solo CD of his drone related cello playing on Confront (see Vital Weekly 405). On this almost eightteen minute recording, Veliotis takes the leading part with some soft and subtle playing of his cello � and maybe a bit of delay on the microphone. Long sustaining sounds occur over which Malevitsis improvises with obscure scratches of vinyl, rather than making long spins. In the second half of the piece both sounds seem to collide together and play unisono. Nice work, but a bit short. (FdW)
