Label: Confront

最強コンビの廃盤音源が新パッケージで復刻!!当店がオープン当初から推し続けてるプリミティブ物音の最高峰Jeph Jermanと、氏と抜群の相性の良さで多くの名作を残してきたTim Barnes。オリジナルは同Confrontが2016年にリリース、長らく廃盤となっていた全45分の長編ライブ録音[Goethe]が新たな紙ジャケットにてリイシュー。2015年にマサチューセッツ州はボストンで開催されたイベントでのライブパフォーマンスであり、お互いがテープと物体、そしてサンプラー、ハルモニウム、ツィターを使った珍しい編成での録音ブツ。抑揚のある流れもこのデュオならでは。



Jeph Jerman : tapes, objects, harmolin
Tim Barnes : tapes, objects, sampler

Across a dozen years, the duo of Jerman and Barnes has offered powerful, minimal music rooted in a shared dedication to the creative act of listening. Jerman is a veteran of the creative music scenes in Denver and Seattle, and in more recent years has been thoroughly investigating the sonic possibilities of the desert Southwest where he lives and works. Tim Barnes’s resume as a percussionist, engineer, and curator is studded with all-star collaborators including Tony Conrad, Sonic Youth, Ken Vandermark, Royal Trux, and Tower Recordings. With two acclaimed releases under their belt, Matterings (erstwhile) and Versatile Ambience (idea intermedia), Jeph and Tim feel that they are in the most productive period in the duo’s history. Goethe is a live performance from their 2015 visit to Non-Event in Boston, MA. Special Thank you to Susanna Bolle, Ernst Karel, and Chris Kincaid.
