about

MRM36

Refraining from making jokes about the last name of Andrew here, I must say it is a new name for me. He gets credit for a cassette recorder, metal objects, reeds and piano, while Atkins occupies
himself with tape loops, percussion, contact mics, pedals and piano. There is not a lot of information available, other than this being a live in-studio recording from January this year and Atkins did editing on it. More than many of his solo recordings, I would think that this is a work of strict improvisation. A pair of microphones are set up in the middle of the space and it picks up the sound in a very direct way. The rattling of bells, metal cans, the occasional bang on the piano, a blow on some reeds, it is all presented without much use of sound effects. There is no altering or processing of sounds. Even when the use of tape-loops and contact microphones might imply that there is some amplification, I also thought it was all very acoustic. It is a short release, clocking in twenty-four minutes, which is a pity, as there is much fine interaction going between the two players, bouncing all over the place, quite literary, by moving between all the instruments they
use; it creates a fine sense of space, without being spacious. I would not have minded an extra piece here.

A very mysterious album, which is why I loved it from the outset. Thoroughly enjoyable as well! One should read the reviews in the release notes as well. PadraigC

Metal combined with piano sounds... The sound of strikethrough is like encryption... Mr. Turing is nearby)) The detached noise textures are impressive, as is the internal failure for the listener when the gluing is detected! A decent job! Notnotice
