khov Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Utp [DVD+CD Limited Edition] released in july 2008 Nice package from japan featuring : new music from alva noto & r.sakamoto with the ensemble modern (strings etc), recorded in 2007 in mannheim. expensive (60$) but the whole stuff is great (DVD [5.1 & stereo versions] of the show + CD audio + 2 booklets). the greatest thing must be to follow the concert with the booklet in hand, reading the whole partition (score). the music is pretty nice too. even more minimal than their previous recordings. with some classical instruments. its kind of a academic (or romantic) version of drones, static music. with the abstract animated graphix on the screen you just think of the last scene of 2001, played at a very slow motion. quite funny to read on the score "white noise" at some times & hearing indeed very delicate sounds of "white noise" (i was expecting merzbow bursts!). everything is described on the booklet, meaning you feel but also understand the whole recording. probably difficult to track down but its definitely a great release.

Squee Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Man, Murcof must be ashamed of himself for releasing that Baroque bullshit also called The Versailles Sessions when a beautiful album like this comes around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
