katsura yamauchi: alto saxophone
michel doneda: soprano saxophone, sopranino saxophone on track 3

alto sax player katsura yamauchi was born in oita, kyushu, in 1954. in 2002 he quit his company job to become a full-time musician, and each year since '03 has traveled to europe and strengthened his ties with musicians in france, germany, the netherlands, switzerland, and so on.

in the process he met and found a kindred spirit in one of france's leading improvisers, soprano/sopranino saxophonist michel doneda (who happens to be the same age as yamauchi). they've played together many times since. both musicians have performance styles characterized by a total absence of melodious phrases and a constant exploration of the nature of sound. continuing in this direction, la drache is permeated throughout with fresh yet tension-filled sound structures.

all five tracks were recorded in france in 2004.

michel doneda / giuseppe ielasi / ingar zach “flore de cataclysmo” compact disc

floating on the mass of blossoms (17:02)
one wing of matter (16:45)
run fingers over turquoise (11:58)

february 2007 release by the trio of michel doneda, giuseppe ielasi, and ingar zach, recorded in the studio, 2004, vandoeuvre-les-nancy.

somewhat contrary to giuseppe’s recent maximal work, this is sparse free-improvisation, each contributing their own array of extended technique-derived sounds. the music frequently touches down onto beds of tonality, with zach’s drum kit providing texture over pulse...

a gorgeous set providing clear evidence of a telepathic link between the players. highly recommended.

...

this trio features very distinct musical personalities and caught us off guard simply by its appearance at all, but we sure did smile when we heard it as we knew it would pack the goods. both zach (percussion) and doneda (reeds) lay sturdy frameworks with ielasi (guitar) adding an almost alien warmth to the group sound.

intense sonic impact yet transparent and sparse enough to navigate with alert senses the whole disc has an ambitious arc that one may miss when caught in the web.

doneda's comments: "the music unfolds from known materials, offering clues. the fleeting nature of the colors, tones, dynamics and rhythm coalesce and then dissolve. often, the sound seems to dig in an invisible soil, and then the quest stop, often at a new place but then another layer appears. each musician weighing the sounds in the most real sense... perfectly independent in a unique and definitive community without specific roles or hierarchy."

all true.
