Peter Brötzmann trio LP & CD Hurricane – Old Heaven Books
Beautiful printing on chipboard jacket with illustrated booklet
“I first heard this Trio on the occasion of Brötzmann’s 70th birthday celebration, called Long Story Short, on the 5th of November 2011 at the Schlachthof Wels. It was a Brötz of beauty. And like William Hogarth’s “Analysis of Beauty” from 1753 tells us to learn how to see, especially how to see Beauty in the Line of Beauty, the S-shaped line of the serpentine, this recording of the meeting of Peter Brötzmann, Sabu Toyozumi, Jason Adasiewicz at the Shenzhen OCT-LOFT Jazz Festival on October 18th, 2015, teaches us how to listen.
Brötzmann first played with Sabu in Tokyo in the early 1980ies, he first met with Adasiewicz in the early 2010s in Chicago. You are listening to 30 plus years of solid cosmopolitanism, invention and improvisation forming a distinct language of its own in front of an audience that loved “Uncle Peter”. So close your eyes and hold your breath, a beautiful storm is coming, it takes you right into the eye of the hurricane where time stands still as witnessed by the silences between Sabu’s mighty toms and the whirlwinds of crystal-shaped vibraphone ringing of Jason and the existential roar of you know who. Enjoy the essence of making great music.”

Corneliu Cezar LP ‘Ziua Fără Sfârșit’ – Metaphon
Composer Corneliu Cezar (1937-1997) was a distinctive personality within the Romanian post 1960 avantgarde: a visionary of music, a thinker and a prophet, a richly gifted artist also active with writing, poetry, painting and astrology. Cezar was an activist rediscovering the natural resonance of sound within a different historical context and he embraced the recovery of authenticity as a reaction against the artificialized culture of serial doctrines. When, after 1975 the spectral music trend became official in Paris, with much fuss and
remarkable support from musicologists, nobody knew that this trend has already been practiced by a small group of Romanian composers lead by Corneliu Cezar for ten years. The four electro-acoustic pieces on this album (privately released on CD in Romania in 2000), recorded with little means between 1967 and 1975, display the incredibly strong ideas of a truly visionary artist. Everything Corneliu Cezar has done during his short earthly life bared the shade of authenticity.

Octavian Nemescu 3LP box ‘Passages… à travers le Temps’ – Metaphon
One of Romania’s most important composers in the last half-century, Octavian Nemescu (1940-2020) is among the few that were not “part of the system”, managing to survive and compose in a world that felt more and more “empty”, fragile, confused and scarce in prophecies. The mystical approach to his art defines Octavian Nemescu as an essentialist who believed in the power of archetypes in which he found inspiration. His pieces always start from an idea that has spiritual, cosmogonic implications and often involves synthesizers, sounds from nature (buzz of bees) and the “ison” (drone). When defining “meta music” or “imaginary music”, Nemescu was an advocate of looking from above, from the top of the mountain. Silence is very important in his work in order to keep the sound flowing and to reflect on the sound from before, as a space, as a pause for thinking. Nemescu put forward another kind of music: a song that has not yet surfaced through human voice, any musical instrument, orchestra or other electro-acoustic means: an intimate, interior, introverted inner sound that focuses on the individual and the imagination. Imaginary music is a reaction, it comes in contrast to the spectacular, it is anti-show. For him, music had a ritualistic function, it served no cultural purpose.
This 3LP set collects eight pieces for variable ensemble, tape and electronics, composed between 1968 and 2015, selected together with Erica Nemescu, who also mastered the tracks. Most tracks have been previously released on different CD’s but never before on vinyl.
