Mario de Vega,
who embraces Dadaist abstractness, leftovers from the commentary of a
soccer match and outlandish modifications of common sense --- Satoshi
Takeishi, who exerts remarkable control and flexibility on this vigorous
exchange of pointillist fractals, oscillations, whirrs, drones, whizzes
and buzzes --- Hans Tammen, whose guitar has probably arrived in
close proximity of the ultimate frontier which an axe can be pushed to
in terms of erratic sonority --- they join forces to explore ethereal
yet roughly sewn soundscapes and multi-cultural rhythms. At their most
monastic and sonically attenuated, they carefully play almost nothing,
but these passages inevitably progress into whispered dialogues of miniaturised,
truncated instrumental gestures, with both rebounding sounds back and
forth, building up to protean statements and frenetic interplay. Now read
this again aloud without any mistake!
