Mohammad Reza Mortazavi & Burnt Friedman - YEK 2
Equipped with one drum only and laser-pattern electronics, Mortazavi and Friedman produce an elegant, yet archaic, trance–inducing, transnational music with "...hints of dust and grain..." (Freq) Mortazavi and Friedman move hands and faders according to odd cyclical rhythms with incredible accuracy. The extreme dynamic range and rhythmic congruency of drum and electronics merge Mortazavi`s and Friedman's repertoire entirely. Complete in [YEK], resisting cultural notions of folklore and territory.
Burnt Friedman & Jaki Liebezeit - Eurydike - from Friedman’s vaults, two tracks recorded in 2016
2 new Secret Rhythms–contributions, recorded in 2016 and played lived frequently. Central to the so–called Secret Rhythms– concept is Jaki Liebezeit’s radical “drum code”, which organizes pressure mediation according to mother nature (Eurydike). Jaki Liebezeit (1938-2017) numbers among the world’s foremost drummers. Between 1968 and 1978, playing as a founding member of the legendary Can, he produced rhythms to be heard nowhere else, anticipating by many years the loops of modern club music. His delicate and peerlessly precise drum sound is audible in countless studio productions by a range of artists from Conny Plank to Jah Wobble, from Eno to Depeche Mode. But by the early 1990s Liebezeit felt he had exhausted the possibilities of conventional drums. He made a radical break, and began to re-define, or re-invent, what drumming was about. Jaki Liebezeit: “That explains why I’ve meanwhile abandoned conventional drums, the standard American kit. I looked around for something different, and now I just play drums. People keep saying my drumming is so reduced, but there’s nothing minimalist about the way I play, I just leave out the superfluous stuff.” Jaki Liebezeit – drums Burnt Friedman – electronics
