keith rowe / sachiko m contact

erstwhile 054-2
total time: 120:46

keith rowe guitar, electronicssachiko m sine wave (1.1, 1.2, 2.1), contact microphone (2.2)

keith rowe and sachiko m are two of the most pivotal and crucial musicians in experimental music today. contact marks their first meeting as a duo, consisting of their complete unedited sessions, both live and studio.

keith rowe was in the forefront of the initial wave of european free improvisation, co-founding the amm collective in 1965 and originating the tabletop guitar. the tabletop guitar has remained at the center of his ever-evolving table of electronics and gadgets ever since, becoming increasingly stripped down and minimal in recent years. having mostly performed within amm until the late 90's, he's since been involved in a wide range of projects, including a slew of the most prominent erstwhile releases. he's the cornerstone musician of the label, and his wide range of releases over the last decade stands with the strongest bodies of work of the last century in improvised music. contact contains the third of his four live sets from the amplify 2008: light festival in tokyo, with two previously released in the erstlive series and the fourth to come later this year, a duo with toshimaru nakamura, completing the tetralogy.

sachiko m is best known for her innovative use of the sampler, extracting pure, piercing sine waves from the device's built-in test tones and forging an original and much-imitated sound. more recently, she has expanded her palette through the use of contact microphones. sachiko has worked extensively as a solo artist, as well as in groups such as cosmos, filament, and i.s.o., and in duo with toshimaru nakamura. she shared the 2003 prix ars electronica with ami yoshida and utah kawasaki, and founded the groundbreaking amoebic label. this is her sixth record for erstwhile, and she has an erstsolo release in the works for 2010.

rowe and sachiko have primarily travelled parallel paths over the last decade, occasionally intersecting. they both recorded crucial duo cds with toshi nakamura in 2000-2001, first sachiko with 'do', then keith soon after with 'weather sky'. in 2004, they both took part in the 230 minute long quartet set documented on erstlive 005, along with nakamura and otomo yoshihide. in september 2008, rowe played four sets in three nights in the amplify 2008: light festival in tokyo. the festival marked rowe's fourth trip to japan in his 40+ year career, and the primary purpose behind his visit was to record in duo for the first time with sachiko.

contact contains the full unedited sessions from these two widely admired musicians who have deeply respected each other for the last decade. the two cds include the full amplify 2008: light performance, along with three additional pieces recorded in the same room two days later. contact covers a range of approaches over its two hour length, with the common factor being the always impeccable touch of these two gifted artists. the outside three panels of the digipak are a white on black drip painting from rowe, one of a series of six, two others of which can be seen on the cds themselves.

sachiko m / toshimaru nakamura / otomo yoshihide “good morning good night” double compact disc set

  • good morning (30:12)
  • good afternoon (7:59)

  • good evening (25:34)
  • good night (37:20)
erstwhile press release...
free improvisation has rarely seen significant new movements as influential as the small group of tokyo musicians once labeled as "onkyo". sachiko m, toshimaru nakamura and otomo yoshihide are three of the scene's driving forces (along with taku sugimoto), and on good morning good night are documented together as a trio for the first time.

sachiko m is best known for her innovative use of the sampler, extracting pure, piercing sine waves from the device's built-in test tones and forging an original and much-imitated sound. more recently, she has expanded her palette through the use of contact mikes. sachiko has worked extensively as a solo artist, as well as in groups such as cosmos, filament, and i.s.o., and in duo with toshimaru nakamura. she won the 2003 prix ars electronica, along with ami yoshida and utah kawasaki, and also founded and runs the groundbreaking amoebic label.

since 1998, toshimaru nakamura has been exploring the possibilities of his "no-input mixing board" in contexts ranging from solo to collaborations with keith rowe, günter müller, sachiko m, andrea neumann, and the duo project repeat (with drummer jason kahn). nakamura was a prominent presence throughout the amplify 2002 box set, appearing on five of the seven cds, and will be recording the much-awaited follow up to the highly acclaimed weather sky cd with keith rowe later this year.

otomo yoshihide's prolific career has been unified by a primary objective: the investigation of the nature of sound from every conceivable angle. in the mid-90's, he explored the limits of sample-based turntablism, predominantly through his band ground zero, as well as in collaborations with christian marclay and yamatsuka eye. over the last few years, otomo has become increasingly interested in minimal wave-based electronics, as heard in his filament, i.s.o, cathode and anode projects. other projects which he is currently involved in include his new jazz quintet, as well as an ongoing duo project with martin tétreault. otomo has also composed many soundtracks for movies, and has written numerous articles and essays for japanese music publications.

while these three musicians have worked together in countless configurations in recent years, good morning good night is their first meeting as a trio. recorded in august of 2003, the double cd contains essentially the full recording sessions, four tracks totaling over 100 minutes. good morning good night is a very conscious step in a new direction, an attempt to create a "vertical" music (as opposed to most music, which moves in a linear, horizontal plane). the pointillistic placement of sounds by these three masters of delicacy results in a music that exists somewhere between foreground and background listening. friederike paetzold's design is inspired by james turrell's work, and features four different covers for the four tracks/times of day, which the listener can fold according to their preference.

cosmos “tears” compact disc

  • i (24:29)
  • ii (18:09)
  • iii (12:09)
erstwhile press release...
sachiko m: sinewaves (1, 3), contact microphone on objects (2)
ami yoshida: voice

sachiko m and ami yoshida, both from tokyo, met in 1997 and formed the duo of cosmos the following year.

sachiko m has developed a unique style utilizing a memory-free sampler, creating pure, piercing sine waves with the device's built-in test tones and noise. she has also recently begun exploring the use of contact microphones, as documented on the second track of tears. sachiko has worked extensively as a solo artist, in groups such as filament, i.s.o., and hoahio, and in duo with toshimaru nakamura, as captured on do (erstwhile). she also founded and runs the superb amoebic label.

ami yoshida strives to create a pure sound, abstracting her voice until it becomes almost completely unrecognizable. in 1997, she released a duo cd, spiritual voice (1040), with tamaru on electronics. cosmos is the first project since then to feature her prominently, although she appears on otomo yoshihide's cathode and ensemble cathode projects, and her solo pieces are a highlight of the 10-cd japan improv box set.

though both women reside in tokyo, cosmos only perform together occasionally, so each meeting is very special. tears is taken from two of those rare encounters, in september 2001 and february 2002. sachiko and ami incrementally build an atmosphere of fragile, yet deeply focused, intensity, forging a symbiotic fusion between human and electronic expression.

günter müller: minidiscs, selected percussion, electronics
norbert möslang: cracked everyday-electronics
andy guhl: cracked everyday-electroncs
erik m: minidiscs, sampler, fx
otomo yoshihide: turntables, guitar, electronics (on 1)
sachiko m: sampler with sine wave (on 2)
christian marclay: turntables (on 3)

poire_z, the quartet of günter müller, voice crack and erikm, has been performing together since december 1998. in the summer of 2000, they began a series of performances which included a different fifth member each time. these guests have included keith rowe, martin tétreault, lê quan ninh, florian hecker, and kevin drumm in addition to the three excerpted sets which make up +, featuring otomo yoshihide, sachiko m, and christian marclay.

günter müller, a swiss percussionist who is increasingly focused on electronics, has worked with a wide range of musicians over the past two decades, including richard teitelbaum, taku sugimoto, jim o'rourke, dieb 13 and butch morris. many of his projects are documented on his groundbreaking label, for 4 ears, including the initial poire_z cd. swiss duo voice crack (norbert möslang and andy guhl) have been playing together since 1972. since 1983, they've been working exclusively with "cracked everyday-electronics", modifying and/or abusing small household machines in order to produce extreme, unique noises. france's erikm burst onto the scene in the mid-'90s as a virtuoso turntablist. since then, he has gradually shifted his output into a more abstract vein, sometimes even abandoning the turntables entirely in favor of a minidisc and sampler, as he does here.

as reflected in the arresting cd design by frequent voice crack collaborator alex hanniman, the quintet recordings presented here tie together multiple threads from these musicians' careers. otomo yoshihide, sachiko m and müller recorded as a trio on filament 2 (for 4 ears); erikm participated in otomo's superb les sculpteurs de vinyl project, as documented on memory & money (stupeur & trompette); pioneering turnatablist christian marclay first recorded with müller in 1992, and has an ongoing duo project with erikm, as well as a trio which adds dj olive; otomo yoshihide and voice crack recorded the acclaimed bits, bots and signs (erstwhile).

+ is poire_z's third cd, following the self-titled debut on for 4 ears, and presque_chic (sonoris). the guest musicians' distinctive personalities define each track, infiltrating the core quartet's whirlwind of ideas - influencing, gently nudging, but never impeding or derailing the constant progress.

toshimaru nakamura: no-input mixing board
sachiko m: sampler with sine wave

oshimaru nakamura and sachiko m are two of the most prominent members of the burgeoning onkyo movement. onkyo, a japanese word meaning "reverberation of sound", places much more emphasis on sound texture than on musical structure, distilling elements of techno, noise, and electronic music into a unique hybrid.

nakamura plays the "no-input mixing board", connecting the input of the board to the output, then manipulating the resultant feedback. since 1998, he's been exploring the possibilities of his instrument in contexts ranging from solo to collaborations with taku sugimoto, keith rowe, and the duo project repeat with drummer jason kahn. nakamura is also a co-founder of the improvisation meeting at bar aoyama, a monthly concert series in tokyo, which recently changed its name and location to meeting at off site.

sachiko m was a member of the seminal nineties band ground zero, led by her frequent collaborator otomo yoshihide. since ground zero ended in 1998, she has developed a unique style utilizing a memory-free sampler, creating pure, piercing sine waves with the device's built-in test tones and noise. sachiko has worked extensively as a solo artist, and in groups such as filament, i.s.o., and hoahio. she also founded and runs the superb amoebic label.

do is the second release from this duo, following 1998's un (meme). do consists of three live improvisations, recorded in the summer of 2000 at three separate concerts. the unique look of the artwork was created entirely from the output of a no-input video mixer by nyc designer chris harvey. do #1, the 37 minute centerpiece track, is a masterpiece of gradual progression, inducing rolling waves inside your head, while constantly, infinitesimally, inexorably creeping forward.

”one thing i can say for sure is that the boundary between listening to this cd and playing this music is totally dissolved, and there is only a difference of time and space where the sounds are heard.” - otomo yoshihide

the amplify 2002: balance box set has been designed and assembled to recreate as much as possible the experience of being in tokyo in late october 2002 for the week-long whirlwind of music and camaraderie revolving around the 2002 amplify festival.

the annual series of amplify festivals began in 2001 in nyc, followed in 2002 by the event documented in this box. amplify returned to nyc in february 2003, and the next amplify will be in cologne and berlin in may 2004, co-curated by keith rowe and jon abbey. the festivals are closely tied to the erstwhile label, and are designed to showcase an ambitious amount of music within a short time period, demanding increased attention and focus from both the musicians and the audience. this box set aims to convey at least part of the intense atmosphere created by amplify's climate of total immersion.

the amplify 2002: balance box set contains over seven hours of music on seven cds, consisting of:

1) eight of the twelve sets from the festival itself, which took place over three nights at star pine's cafe in kichijoji, tokyo.

2) two cds compiled from the smaller club shows which took place before and after the festival itself, organized by toshimaru nakamura and taku sugimoto, including an entire disc by the all-star guitar septet of keith rowe, tetuzi akiyama, oren ambarchi, nakamura, otomo yoshihide, burkhard stangl and sugimoto.

3) a studio recording by the duo of günter müller and toshimaru nakamura, recorded that same week. this disc has been carefully sequenced and constructed, and is essentially a regular erstwhile release contained within the larger box.

the box also features a dvd by filmmaker jonas leddington and a 52 page, full-color booklet with photography by yuko zama and twenty separate essays by many of the people involved in the festival.

leddington's dvd contains a 109-minute visual document titled "balance beams," which is built around the festival itself and includes structured excerpts from all twelve sets, commentary from the musicians, behind-the-scenes footage, as well as images and sounds from tokyo. footage of the stangl/kurzmann set includes cuts of viennese filmmaker michaela grill's schnee video, as it was shown live in tokyo.

the dvd extras include 5.1 surround sound audio-only versions of the rowe/lehn/schmickler and müller/otomo sets, as well as three short individual features based on the three nights of outside festival performances that discs 1 and 7 were chosen from, including keith rowe discussing with the other guitarists how he believes a musician should approach performing the graphic score of cardew's treatise.

the box set is a limited edition of 800 copies, and will not be reprinted.

lucky kitchen (spain) #lk 011 cd

“i love fantasy” compact disc

lucky kitchen press release...
fantasy takes place in a dimension not subject to the normal bounds of material reality. fantasy is created by the ability of the imagination to form ideas beyond sensory detail. for the child (and often the artist) there is no essential division between reality and unreality. only through what coleridge termed the "willing suspension of unbelief" can an "adult" obtain the full impact of fantasy. *

1 aerospace soundwise is todd carter, a sound engineer from chicago. in addition to his solo work on diskono, he is a member of tv pow with releases on gentle giant, box media, and upcoming on staalplaat.

2 evol are journalists and musicians anna and roc from barcelona. in addition to work on their own label alku, they have work released on mego.

3 felix kubin and tim buhr are klangkrieg, who along with reznicek made this track for us. all three have been very busy in the hamburg electronic silly for many years. they have work together and seperately on a-musik, audioview, cling film, staubgold, and others.

4 sachiko matsubara is an artist from tokyo. her work with ground zero, iso, and filament are considered classics already. in addition to her own label amoebic, she has work on extreme and more.

2000 cd release celebrating lk-001, suetsu & underwood`s find the hits and use them. participants were asked to submit version of the recordings on said cd. this was the last lucky kitchen release to feature input from daniel-suetsu, thus the tracklisting is peppered with exotic but tangible idm figures from the time... has aged remarkably well (i’m still rather proud of my lo-fi minimalism...)
