Editions Mego – EMEGO 021
Following their work together on remixes and in trio with Keiji Haino,
'Indeed' is the first proper full-length collaboration between Oren
Ambarchi and Jim O'Rourke. Recorded in Tokyo, January 2011, the piece
takes form as one long electroacoustic meander with both artists
operating at the more meditative and reserved end of their respective
abilities and disciplines. The label compare the session to "...the warm
post-minimalism of composers like Alvin Curran, David Behrman and
Luciano Cilio" and "...the collective textural and melodic personality
of their respective solo albums filtered through the highpoints of the
Lovely Music catalogue", which we'll happily concur. Side A opens though
a passage of frictional electro-acoustics before calmly coursing along
rich, humming subbass tones joined by quietly rippling marimba-like
rhythms and dissolving into languorous drones and deft spatial
detailing. Side B continues to meditate on these drones before more
playful, high-pitched dissonance carries to the end. Marvelous.
