BESOM PRESSE ************ Distr. : NE - Shiny Beast/ Style : sound art / electronic / BP 1 WERNER DURAND : WITH AMELIA CUNI & VICTOR MEERTENS 2LP 10.2019 - PROCESSIONS 'Processions' is a double LP by composer, performer, and instrument-maker Werner Durand, with Amelia Cuni and Victor Meertens. Recorded and mixed in his home studio in Berlin from 2012-16, Durand offers four just-intoned drone works distilling global influence into compositions of singular beauty. Performed on an unlikely array of instruments including various self-made wind and reed instruments, sarod, mirliton, bi (a Vietnamese free reed instrument), trumpet, and hammered electric guitar, the result is narcotic. www.shinybeast.nl --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BP 2 DAVID WATSON & TONY BUCK : ASK THE AXES LP 10.2019 'Ask The Axes' is the first collaborative release by the duo of experimental bagpiper David Watson and famed percussionist of The Necks, Tony Buck. Watson and Buck's premiere recording documents two twenty-plus minute tracks featuring the hallucinatory sound palette of the Highland bagpipes, drums and percussion. www.shinybeast.nl =======================================================================================
