On this one-sided picture-12“ you can listen to a live improvisation of the two artists Aidan Baker and Leah Buckareff in collaboration with the German band “Datashock”. This show took place on 05/21/2007 in Darmstadt, Germany.
That night the septet combined free sound improvisations and electro-acoustic music with psychedelic, traditional and cosmic frequences in a very particular and idiosyncratic manner.
The result is a 16 minutes long ensemble of sounds, an elegiacally gliding swirl of resounding, clacking, booming and billowing sounds, which intensely and hypnotically swells out of the boxes. Sometimes it produces a chaotic impression as percussion sounds, billowing whisper, nervous howling and creaking guitar sounds get hectically jumbeled. The music resounds constantly powerful and measured and mountains of dull sounds, mystic and drawn-out voices, which resemble electronically alienated Sufi rituals during a consciousness-expanding trip, arise. But it does not turn out to be endless singsong or even mere boring repetition. In short: It was a downright crazy, exciting and impressing experience, which, as it was eternalized on vinyl, developes its own special character.
