andrea neumann: inside piano and mixing desk
burkhard beins: percussion and strings

andrea neumann began her musical career as a pianist, but has since reduced her instrument to strings, resonance board and metal frame. she also utilizes electronics to manipulate and amplify the sounds, some of which would be otherwise inaudible. because the original inside-piano frame is very heavy, she had a new, lighter one specially constructed for her (by bernd bittmann). neumann has released superb collaborative discs with toshimaru nakamura (recordings on rossbin), annette krebs (charhizma), ignaz schick (zarek), and has a much-anticipated trio cd with sachiko m and kaffe matthews forthcoming on the japan improv label.

burkhard beins started as a rock drummer, gradually moving on to pieces for taped material and percussion. since 1988, improvised music has been his primary focus, in projects such as perlonex (zarek), activity center (2:13), and in duo with keith rowe (zarek). beins is also part of the sealed knot, a trio with rhodri davis and mark wastell, whose second cd is forthcoming on meniscus. while neumann and beins have worked together extensively as part of the all-star octet phosphor (potlatch) as well as other small groups, lidingö is their first duo release.

neumann and beins initially met in 1995 after beins moved from london to berlin and attended one of neumann's concerts in a small club. over the next few years, both beins and neumann became integral parts of a constellation of like-minded musicians in berlin, collaborating in constantly changing group configurations with the intent of redefining their musical language. this led to a process of musical purification involving many factors, including more precise decisions about placing musical material into the silence to more closely examine it, questioning the relevance of its qualities, when and why to begin or end a sonic event, and how long or short a moment of silence should be. in short, this group of musicians were rethinking structure and form for themselves from the ground up.

recorded in july 2002 in a studio in berlin (by rainer robben), lidingö consists of loosely linked improvisations, forming a musical travelogue. the two musicians employ their impressive arsenal of precisely scraped, bowed, plucked, and rubbed sounds to conjure memories, both real and imagined, of the small swedish island that lends the recording its name. the artwork showcases erstwhile designer's friederike paetzold's modern twist on historical photos of lidingö.

improvised music from japan press release...

improvised music from japan
improvised music from japan extra 2006 special berlin issue

improvised music from japan, imj-308/9
out december 24, 2006

in japanese only
80 pages; 21cm (h) x 15cm (w)
2 cds included
cover and cd design by suzueri

in addition to interviews of 12 musicians/1 group residing in berlin (gregor hotz, nicholas bussmann, merle bennett, thomas ankersmit, ignaz schick, hans strobl, pure, annette krebs, andrea neumann, caramel empties, alessandro bosetti, boris baltschun, and kai fagaschinski), this "extra" issue of imj features 2 cds with 18 tracks by a total of over 30 musicians, almost all of whom are berlin residents: adeline rosenstein/andrea neumann, annette krebs/steffi weismann, kommando raumschiff zitrone, michael thieke unununium, lucio capece/axel doerner/robin hayward, tunar, alessandro bosetti, tony buck/andrea neumann, sink, marzipan marzipan, kalkuel & leidenschaft, boris hauf, phillip sollman, thomas ankersmit, ignaz schick/jason forrest, burkhard beins, rechenzentrum, and blumm.

the interviews were conducted by toshimaru nakamura during a visit to berlin in january 2005 (with the exception of the email interview of annette krebs by taku sugimoto, which took place between january and april 2006). in addition to discussing their musical activities, the artists share many of their thoughts about the berlin scene. their candid views reveal the dynamism that has characterized that scene since the late '90s. berlin musician nicholas bussmann was in charge of the selection of artists for the accompanying cds, and the result is an ideal compilation for those who want to know more about today's berlin scene. through the words and music of musicians on the scene, this issue explores the current situation of improvised music (and related genres) in berlin.
