MENTAL SHAKE

Our tenth OTOROKU release sees a return to the group that kick-started the label - the veteran German reedsman and free jazz pioneer Peter Broetzmann with the long-running London bass/drums partnership of John Edwards and Steve Noble. After the release of '…The Worse The Better' that group went on to play a series of devastating shows in Europe and to emerge as one of Broetzmann's finest working groups. Over the same period Peter was developing a deep rapport with Jason Adasiewicz, the upstart vibraphone player from Chicago. What seems on paper like an awkward pairing reveals itself on stage and on record as a symbiotic revelation. Adasiewicz's physical attack matching Broetzmann for impact whilst the extended sustain of the vibes opens up an eerie space for some of Broetzmann's most fertile lyricism.

The recording is from the last set of a two-day residency at Cafe OTO that brought these two groups together for an astonishing quartet. Adasiewicz and Noble struck up an immense partnership in rhythm. Edwards wrestled with a broken house bass and failing amplifier and still managed new levels of invention - stoking the others onwards. Broetzmann was clearly energised - I swear I saw him dancing at the side of the stage whilst exchanging a shattered reed. And for all the usual rhetoric of Free Jazz bluster and machismo, this is a meeting characterised by the joy of communal creation that makes you want to dance - even if only in your head.

ROKU010 Broetzmann / Adasiewicz / Edwards / Noble - MENTAL SHAKE (excerpt)

"Sounds hide within shadows, and what might be a discreet scrape on a cymbal could equally be an inconspicuously stroked guitar string. The musicians feed their material into the space, enough to be picked up by their feedback system, after which they ride their own sounds, penetrating inside the noise to throw its shapes." - Philip Clark, The Guardian

~~~

Utterly beguiling recording of two great improvisers at work in the Hara Museum, Tokyo in the winter of 2013. Drumset, percussion, guitar, amplifier - a simple set up that produces complex and extremely dynamic results, with immense swells of enveloping feedback, fragile cymbal scrapes that hover at the edge of audibility, ecstatic free-rock clatter and slyly resonant melodies.

Machine Woman - I Can Mend Your Broken Heart (Kassem Mosse Remix) [Where To Now?]

Under a new alias, Lobster Theremin don Jimmy Asquith treats all to a dose of needle-breaking sounds at a nosebleed bpm. Asquith's tendencies for variety and deep, diverse breadth of musical talent is what Lobster Theremin has become known for. Any time that isn't spent heading up the revered label, is spent fabricating music that shares the Lobster manifesto. Having consistently catapulted talent such as Palm Trax and Manse onto our hard drives, it seems only fitting that the label boss is now displaying his own ability to kill it in the musical laboratory.

Tom Hang's upcoming The New World EP sees the label boss weave a narrative of escapism and delirium, from which “In The Deep” stands king. Toeing the line between immersive deep pulses, organ rupturing modulations and teetering melodies, “In The Deep” tackles techno from a number of angles – keeping you hooked throughout.

"In The Deep" emerges on 2nd October via Where To Now.

ALDONA ORŁOWSKA - NIE WIEM 12" PREVIEW PRE-ORDER NOW €15 + SHIPPING

Płyta jest kolażem archiwalnych głosów, preparowanych i niepreparowanych instrumentów akustycznych oraz elektroniki; jest kilkuwątkową tkaniną muzyczną – opowieścią o wojnie i pokoju, miłości i nienawiści, sensie i bezsensie, o starości i samotności, a także, last but not least, o słuchaniu muzyki. Szczególnie wielbię śpiew. Zatem ta płyta jest też hołdem, który składam kilku ulubionym głosom, osobowościom i zjawiskom śpiewaczym, hołdem specyficznym, bo postanowiłem podzielić się swoim osobistym słyszeniem śpiewu, raz impresyjnym, raz esencjonalnym, wskutek którego tworzą się pieśni nowe. Przy czym skupiam się na strefie słyszenia, pozostającej trochę obok języka, choć nie obok treści.

Remek Hanaj "Wysiadywanie góry / Brooding a Mountain"

Choć paleta brzmień, które potrafią wykreować tak doświadczeni artyści jest olbrzymia, w zebranych tu utworach – w dużej mierze zaimprowizowanych podczas sesji nagraniowej – ekspresja nierzadko ustępuje nieśpiesznie budowanej dramaturgii. Stąd „Avant–garde out of Poland” wymaga czasem większej uwagi, ale zawsze hojnie ją wynagradza.
