In the mirror and lamp history of straight music and experimental music, it is more often the latter that gets Tiny Mix Tapes readers to come over all, um, unnecessary. You say you like your bone-jarring experimental noise served sweet and neat? Then nothing could be sweeter and neater than a new collaborative release featuring three modern genreless giants: Keiji Haino, Jim O’Rourke, and Oren Ambarchi!
These voracious sound voyagers have teamed up yet again (for the ninth time!) for Black Truffle’s 50th release. The succinctly titled In the past only geniuses were capable of staging the perfect crime (also known as a revolution) Today anybody can accomplish their aims with the push of the button is out on September 20 on Ambarchi’s unique record company, and once again, the collaboration shows a rare intimate interplay and a seismic power that occurs when three exceptional, exploring musicians are truly in sync with each other.
You can pre-order In the past… on double vinyl and CD here (U.S.) and here (Europe). The album’s fourth track (the title track, Part 2) is available for your unreserved sensory enjoyment right here:
