MARCUS SCHMICKLER & JAKI LIEBEZEIT & HAYDEN CHISHOLM - TIMEKEEPERS II (LP)

"a-Musik, the Cologne-based bastion of sonic exploration, unveils a new chapter in their quest for boundary-pushing sounds. Timekeepers 2, a split LP featuring recordings of two duos by Marcus Schmickler with Jaki Liebezeit and with Hayden Chisholm. Side A bears the imprint of Liebezeit's rhythmic flow-fusing with Schmickler's digital Shepard Tone interpretation. A studio recording taken before a festival performance at Moers in 2014. On side B, Schmickler's electronics converge with Chisholm's bagpipe melodies. The piece was composed for their collaboration at Art's Birthday at Berghain and a-Musik's 20th anniversary at Gebäude 9. Adorning the cover, Tim Berresheim's artwork serves as a visual counterpart. Berresheim mostly works with computer rendered images, which have been created for a solo exhibition at JUBG in Cologne. 300x copies, black vinyl." (label info) w/ download code
