keith rowe / toshimaru nakamura “erstlive 008” compact disc

(37:58)

october 2009 release ; keith rowe & toshi nakamura’s concluding duo set from the “amplify 2008: light” festival, a veritable wonder of dessicated fizz & interspersed, interstitial crackle ...

erstwhile press release...

keith rowe / toshimaru nakamura

erstlive 008
total time: 37:58

keith rowe guitar, electronics
toshimaru nakamura no-input mixing board

in september 2008, legendary guitarist keith 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 first time he was able to work closely with so many tokyo musicians on their home turf. as the only non-japanese participant in the festival, rowe took the opportunity to both move his aesthetic towards his collaborators (in the duo sets), as well as to make a strongly contrasting individual statement in his solo set, which he later titled 'cultural templates'.

all four of those sets are now available in the erstlive series: the premiere meeting of rowe and taku unami; the aforementioned 'cultural templates', rowe's first solo set ever in tokyo; the premiere meeting of rowe and sachiko m, as part of the double cd 'contact', and now the concluding set to the festival, rowe's duo with his long-time partner toshimaru nakamura, completing the tetralogy. amplify 2008: light was an intense and deeply immersive experience for all who were lucky enough to be present, and quite a bit of that was attributable to rowe's four sets, which are now available for all to hear.

the erstlive series is an attempt to capture the uncapturable: unedited, unpolished concert recordings packaged in a template design using two colors chosen by the musicians involved, with a photo of the concert on the back cover.

keith rowe “erstlive 007” compact disc

(36:32)

december 2008 release ; keith rowe’s solo set from the amplify 2008: light festival ...

picking up where “the room” ‘s meticulously crafted patterns left off, this set is an improv concerned largely with scraping, nail-file guitar scrabble & plundered / re-used radio broadcasts (largely of afternoon “light” classical) ; the occasional beds of needle-thin ground-hum & bias-altered hysteresis largely go un-noticed until they’re suddenly removed, revealing an onion-skin array of sharp particles & dust ...

always a pleasure to hear the man work ...

keith rowe / taku unami “erstlive 006” compact disc

(37:35)

december 2008 release ; keith rowe & taku unami’s duo set from the amplify 2008: light festival ...

unami’s whirring, regular-rhythm punctuations (“computer controlled objects,” i believe) and hissing upper-register bitstreams (first batch of new / interesting computer-music textures i’ve heard in an improvised-music context in a while) are the perfect foil for rowe’s sparse pointillist mannerisms (a hail of hiss & even the occasional guitar-note interjection) ...

most recent release in the “erstlive” series; a towering, near-4-hour-long meditation on improvised electronics by four of the leading contemporary practitioners of such, in peak form. far from satie’s vision of “table music”, this is an epic; engaging to the last dynamic slow-arc...

erstlive 005 is from the quartet of keith rowe, sachiko m, toshimaru nakamura, and otomo yoshihide, the centerpiece show of amplify 2004: addition, the "four hour quartet". erstlive 005 contains three individually packaged slimline cds in a slipcase with original artwork by keith rowe, which wraps around the entire box, front, side, and back, as well as liner notes from all four musicians and numerous pictures from yuko zama. erstlive 005 documents only the second performance of this quartet, after a brief set in cologne the week before.

”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
