Lanz / Kahn / Möslang / Müller / Weber 'Kangaroo_Kitchen' 2 CD mikroton cd 89 | 90
Info
In 2018 Mikroton Mikroten Festival offered a special occasion to record five important musicians from the Swiss experimental music scene: Joke Lanz (turntables), Jason Kahn (modular synthesizer, radio, mixer), Norbert Möslang (cracked everyday electronics), Günter Müller (ipods, electronics) and Christian Weber (bass, revolver).
Two tracks of the album were recorded respectively in Kaliningrad and Moscow with no concerts in Kaliningrad and a premiere gig in Moscow. “kangaroo_kitchen” is a masterclass not only in instantaneous sound design and dynamic range, but also in sonic depth. Five musicians work for the first time in such a mesmerizing manner as if they have been working together for years. The weaving in rich and complex meshes of tone clusters and noise loops, Russian radio invasions seamlessly blending with sonic creatures from turntables and skillful double bass playing. A wide array of striking timbres and sounds wash over one another, at times sounding like innards of a factory, at other times like originating from outer limits of space.
Double CD comes in a foldout digipack.
