daniel menche and kk null - raijin

asp 2035
release date: october 24, 2006

raijin, five untitled tracks constructed by noise artists daniel menche and kk null, hit like a violent storm in this electrically charged collaboration by two masters of dense sound sculpture. like raijin and fujin, shinto gods of thunder and lightning, menche and null command attention with the ability to create a powerful sensory presence. their treatment of drum, voice, trumpet and electronics roars and tumbles through these collating waves of noise and electro-acoustic ambience. menche’s thunderous drums resonate like a shockwave as null’s lightning sheds light upon those seeking shelter on land.

each armed with a penchant for sonic destruction and a massive discography, menche’s concussions pound between null’s electronic noise terror. these five unnamed and unstable atmospheres manifest absolute pure thunder!

k.k. nullkosmista noisea” compact disc

  • kosmista noisea-i (24:25)
  • kosmista noisea-ii (45:15)
important press release...
kosmista noisea is a brand new full length from japanese legend kk null (anp / zeni geva). packaged in a jewel box with a metallic print on a vellum tray card, this was lavishly designed by stephen o'malley (sunn 0))) / khanate).

kosmista noisea (finnish for cosmic noise) consists of live recordings from 3 different locations during the european tour in 2003-2004. kosmista noisea 1 is taken from 2 separate live recordings and uniquely combined in the studio into one piece with talcent, italy on the left channel and st.etienne, france on the right channel. this technique is designed to give more depth and multiple dimensions. kosmista noisea 2 is a 45 minutes long non-edit of an entire live performance in antwerpen/belgium, showing the diversity of kk null's music from intense clashing wave of noise to structured electro-acoustic ambience, droning isolationist material.

z'ev writes: "in march of 2003 seeing my friends stephen & josephine in los angeles they suggested that i get in touch with japanese composer/performer kk.null. there followed a string of weird email occurrences which delayed our communicating until, as it turned out, we eventually met in paris on 18 november.after his performance we were talking about a possible collaboration and during his set a possibility had occurred to me. i ran the idea by him and we agreed to proceed with it. the idea had 3 elements:

1 - to use the structure of the noh theatre cycle as the basis for the composition.
2 – to consider the initial sound development in terms of developing ‘characters’ which would then interact with one another through the specific “scene” [which is a fairly non-traditional way to work with sound elements] and
3 – to place the ‘character interactions’ as the 'figure' inside of particular sound-scapes as the ‘ground'.

so in january 2004 i returned to london and began to work on my initial character developments. coincidentally at this time i received a copy of a cd compilation i had a piece on which was released by touch, which also had a piece by chris watson. so i got on the phone to touch who put me in touch with chris who has joined in on the project.

sometime after i had completed mixing the 5 pieces, i sent a copy to my friend boyd rice. he emailed me back: "this is the first avant-garde piece i have heard in years that is truly avant-garde."

in the production process, z'ev framed his and kk.null's electro-acoustic musics inside chris watson's field recordings from east africa. a dynamic dialogue and inside-outside mirroring of natural and synthetic sound is the result: where the click and rhythm of an insect merges with kk.null's drumming; where the calls of the elephants combine with the electronic bass frequencies; where bird and frog song and z'ev's harmonic structures produces surprising counterpoints.

compact disc

barcode 5027803147485

51:00 with 8 tracks, all untitled

fertile is kk null's first album for touch, following his collaboration with chris watson and z'ev [number one - tone 24, 2005], which boomkat called "moving and atmospheric", and the wire wrote "a complex dramatic work from a strict economy of means".

kk null (real name kazuyuki kishino) was born in tokyo, japan. composer, guitarist, singer, mastermind of zeni geva and electronic wizard. one of the top names in japanese noise music and in a wider context, one of the great cult artists in experimental music since the early 80's.

kazuyuki writes:

in june of 2006 i had the good fortune of visiting darwin in the northern territory in australia and explored in kakadu national park with some good friends. i took my digital recorder along with me and did some live field recordings there. first we encountered a flock of wild birds (little corella or cacatua pastinator) just beside the south alligator river, and then we happened to find "bush fire" flaring just beside the road we were on. i also had a unique opportunity to record a magnificent symphony orchestra of insects, frogs and birds in wetlands just before sunset.

at that time i had no idea or no specific purpose for using these field recordings, and in the middle of working on this album [fertile] in my home studio, suddenly came up with the idea of mixing these field recordings into some of the tracks that were unfinished.

i felt comfortable with layering & mixing different sounds from different locations and times, digital and analogue sounds into one piece. i like also the balance of spontaneity (field recording) and intentional act (studio recording).

spring 2007 compilation of “idiosyncratic” music curated by yannick franck... includes music by a pretty damn excellent selection of contemporary drone/repetition practitioners ranging from the minimalist swell of charlemagne palestine to the munged roar of lasse marhaug & jon hegre’s jazkamer to steffen basho-junghan’s ringing steel-string figures...

just about everything is exclusive to this reasonably priced and quite lovely set (featuring tatiana klejniak’s scribbled-out paintings...) with a nice blend of darker & lighter tonalities. something for every fan of long-form sound. properly chilled.

various artists : idioscapes 2007
digipack / 1000 copies

“the idea was to ask some of our favourite sound artists to take part in a compilation... and, to our surprise, they accepted. the only concept was that they had to provide a specific / particular / idiosyncratic piece. qualified as a “drone paradise” by lasse marhaug (of jazkamer), the result is a fine and coherent whole, full of extended textures, contrasted acoustic surfaces, subtle and strong. idioscapes contains 70 minutes of authentic acoustic researches, with glitches, loops, noises, deep and glittering textures, subliminal frequences and narrative inserts, punctured with sensible musical moments. idiosyncratics is honoured to present these sound masters on idioscapes. infinite thanks to all of them.” y.f.
