improvisation for Confront’s Core Series.

CORE    006     MANDHIRA DE SARAM/BENOIT DELBECQ : SPINNERET            CD      04.2019

        01.     Mandhira De Saram/Benoit Delbecq : False Widow
        02.     Mandhira De Saram/Benoit Delbecq : Lace Weaver
        03.     Mandhira De Saram/Benoit Delbecq . Snowberry Clearwing

Mandhira de Saram and Benoit Delbecq met in 2016 in Paris and soon discovered that
they loved playing together. They recorded Spinneret a year later, over a day of quiet
and meditative composing, at curious distance from the animated playing they are both
usually drawn to in their own projects. With a natural flair for exploring the
possibilities of their instruments, they weave together a delicate tapestry of sound
and texture, which hangs as though stretched and suspended in the air. Spinneret
evokes something of a folk-tale, as these two internationally acclaimed players tell
of a unique sonic landscape: vast, subtle, and timeless. Mandhira de Saram - violin;
Benoit Delbecq - piano.

                & PERMIAN

On Live At OTOOTO & Permian, two guitarists from Japan, Taku Sugimoto and Takashi
Masubuchi, ask a series of unresolved questions -- about time, about interplay, about
tonality. Those who know Sugimoto's music will recognize here a certain tension, and
a feeling for the apposite; these two traits have been core to his playing and
composing since he first introduced himself to the broader listening public, in the
'90s, with albums like Opposite. Masubuchi, who has also recently collaborated with
Shizuo Uchida and Straytone, intersects with Sugimoto in a number of ways -- they
share interests in Morton Feldman and in folk blues, both of which are evident here
in the abstract. Personnel: Taku Sugimoto - electric guitar; Takashi Masubuchi
- acoustic guitar.
