Mats Gustafsson + Otomo Yoshihide DUO / TIMING

doubtmusic / dmf-172

I’m always in the mood to hear nameless music. It’s that kind of music. ( from Manabu Yuasa, music critic linernotes)
it is intense duo, open-recorded at GOK Sound, Kichijoji on 2018. After 2 years it materialized on CD work at all. Mats’ strongest baritone saxophone, self-made instrument called “flutephone”, reed with flute and electronics focusing recent years, and Otomo’s turntables, guitar, banjo…those are motivated intertwined. it’s excellent performance ! It’s a very long time Otomo’s turntables work. Is was one-shot recording, no editting, no overdubbing. Mats nemed “TIMING” to this CD title. This title is exactly symbolizes those improvisation. We would like you to listen this improvisation by bigger speakers with roar. It’s confident and in-depth music !
