Schmidt, Irmin/Kumo - Masters of Confusion
SKU
05--SPOON9161
"Aptly titled Masters of Confusion is the first recorded fruit of the collaboration between Irmin Schmidt, founder member of the legendary German avant garde rock group Can, and Kumo, the artist name of drum programmer, sound engineer and producer Jono Podmore. For this album, Kumo spontaneously constructs, collapses and reshuffles towercards of rhythms sprayed with pointillist beats, over, under and between which Irmin's grand piano and keyboards dance with the poise of a Nuevo Tango player, the reflex of a gymnast and the wit of a joker on the run. Quite naturally the music carries traces of their combined experiences, which range over raging rock and incantatory trance improvisations, contemporary composition, techno and drum 'n bass."-Wire
