black truffle (australia) #bt 07 lp

keiji haino / jim o’rourke / oren ambarchiimikuzushi” double long playing record set

  • still unable to throw off that teaching
    a heart left abandoned
    unable to get inside that empty space
    nerves freezing
    that unconcealed sadness?

  • ready and waiting
    ready and tired of waiting
    this happiness
    hovers for a while opaque..

  • invited in
    practically drawn in by something
    facing the exit of this hiding place
    who is it? that went in..

  • an acute sensitivity is
    not simply a "madness"
    an acute sensitivity
    to the resonance of "i love you"
    teaches us just a little something
    it's not that we can't do something
    it's just that we haven't done it yet...
january 2012 release ; ... third collective outing from the super-group of jim o’rourke (the mel schacher of the trio, here on weird a-synchronous harmonizer-bass), oren ambarchi (ditto, the don brewer on pretty much continuous motorik pulse ), and keiji haino (well ... i guess that makes him the mark farner, largely on shred-oriented electric guitar & the occasional pained epithet) ...

... easily one of the most deluxe lp-sets i’ve seen ; a full-color gatefold (with a lovely spot-varnish gloss coating the entire interior) houses two separate printed inner sleeves (ditto with the spot-gloss ; each “side” showing detail of each musician, plus a bandmoney shot”) ; we’re talking super-southern-lord type production values here folks (lest this fact assuage your pocketbook-guilt ; it’s quite a bargain given what’s on offer) ...
black truffle press release...

keiji haino / jim o’rourke / oren ambarchi
imikuzushi
label: black truffle
format: 2lp
catalogue number: bt07

release date: 2/28/2012

the yearly summit of keiji haino, jim o'rourke and oren ambarchi continues with imikuzushi, which finds the group extending the power-trio strategies of 2011's highly-praised in a flash everything comes together as one there is no need for a subject (bt 005lp) and bringing to them a newly-sustained intensity.

for this performance, haino limits himself to electric guitar and vocals, forming complex networks of slashing rhythm work, noise squall and chromatic shredding, moving at times to near-silent passages of howled vocals and isolated, hanging guitar strums.

the tendency towards driving free-rock which surfaced on moments of the trio's last release is cemented here, with o'rourke's fuzzed-out, non-linear bass riffing moving the music into almost garage-rock areas, combining with ambarchi's drums to form a bedrock of hypnotic, metronomic pounding which transforms itself effortlessly into passages of flowing free-time.

like all of haino's best work, the trio transcends any 'rock' genre exercise to enter a non-idiomatic zone of ritual intensity, creating a music formed purely out of instrumental and group-mind possibility. presented as four unedited excerpts salvaged from an epic show that lasted well over three hours, the sometimes raw nature of the recording only adds to its directness and harshly emotive quality.

also performing was mr. haino, who sings in a ghostly choirboy voice with his deafeningly loud japanese improvising rock trio, fushitsusha. the mysterious mr. haino, who never appears without sunglasses, an all-black getup and a wooden walking staff (to direct the band through noh-like dramatic routines), is another perfect example of “actuelle” logic. he is a musician in his late 40’s whose influences are, in no-particular order, iannis xenakis’s electro-acoustic music, gregorian chant, the sludgy proto-heavy-metal band blue cheer and the japanese improvised-rock scene of the late 1960’s. “but if someone calls me a blues musician,” he mused very late friday night in his hotel room, sunglasses still affixed, “i am very happy.

- ben ratliff, new york times

the japanese guitar monster threw a cloak of black noise over late night show goers who go awed by his trio of power electric bass, sleep heavy drums and his own guitar attack, which he set aside briefly to conduct his rhythm section with a fancy walking stick. later, i saw him part a crowd with it, moses style. no one questioned his authority, either on stage or in the streets.
