„ ...for all we’ll drown into the sand
what will remain?
inverted horizons
denied truth and blind eyes
the titans arise
the monuments fall
we cannot halt...“
Celtic Frost, Eternal Summer ( To Mega Therion, 1985, Noise Records)
Striving for clarity isn’t a mood commonly associated with improvised music.
Its force is stronger than that of its practitioners; they may fall submerged in
blinding powers amidst marshy mirages or adrenaline. In such an ocean of
certainty, virtue becomes useless. The player has no choice but surrender or
keep fighting. If improvised music is the antagonism of composed music, then its
goal is to fail. Meanwhile, the mind resists such adversity, looking in the
immediate future for a way to structure and develop without losing momentum.
The duo Ulrich Krieger and Marcelo Aguirre, combining influences from Death and
Doom Metal, Noise, and Free Improvisation, proceed to select highly
differentiated material rather than impressionistic ideas, to slowly build up
canvases where velocity and complexity prevail hand to hand with cyclic
repetition. Saturated and staccato when needed, perceptive until sound’s
treasure, there is a relentless tension that harnesses it all together.
Certainly, no matter where the sounds of the duo are going, what prevails is a
mass; the displacement of big, heavy, almost uncontrollable sheets of sound with
focus in pure intensity. And therefore, while valves are exhausted, articulated
and meticulous forms will descend upon mortals like finely tuned interstellar
dust.
Ulrich Krieger - electric tenor sax, electronics, growls and abyss
Marcelo Aguirre - drums, screams and low end
