MATTIN / MALFATTI - GOING FRAGILE (CD)

"Mattin: gnu-linux computer feedback. Radu Malfatti: trombone. Recorded in 2005. Going Fragile is the latest collaboration between Radu Malfatti and Mattin, following 2004's critically lauded "Whitenoise". This album sees them refining their approach; they string incidents of sound along a long axis of time, creating distinct events against a stark backdrop. The cumulative effect is the creation of an enormous scale, small moments building to coherent wholes. This album is a vibrant act of music-making that weaves together silence and sound, simplicity and complexity, into two improvisations. This album documents the newest work of improvising musicians who are investigating the dynamic extremes of their sound. Simultaneously serene and raw, quiet and massive, this work points the way towards hence uncharted musical form." (label info)
