CD Review: AndreasSchaerer and Lucas Niggli -Arcanum
Andreas Schaerer and Lucas Niggli - Arcanum (Intakt Records 232. CD Review by Eric Ford)
The idea of a duet between voice (augmented and manipulated by electronics) andpercussion/drums is appealing and of course stretches back to the dawn of humanexistence. The eight pieces from the Swiss duo on this CD are improvised, althoughvocalist Andreas Schaerer and drummer/percussionist Lucas Niggli clearlydecided on a "vibe" for the start of each piece before proceeding. The duo excel inconjuring both violence and tranquility. The meditative tracks - replete with gongs toaid the transition into trance - were my favourites. Very Zen. Some of the morefrantic pieces had me laughing aloud, although I know lots of other people whowould have been reaching for the "stop" button at these moments. For Schaerer iswont to use his voice for the production of unexpected sounds.
This album goes beyond the bounds of what would conventionally be referred to as"music" and any sound Andreas can produce via his mouth is fair game. Some of itactually reminded me of Clark Terry's "mumblings" from the 1960's. Andreas canclearly sing and Lucas can clearly play; their collaboration, equally clearly, is aboutsound, performance and energy more than about "music" per se.
Three of the eight tracks climax with the same thrashy fusion drumming from Niggli,which is (ironically) one of the hazards of improvised music. Without a premeditatedstructure to ensure different outcomes in different pieces, it's easy to slide into acomfort zone and revert to whatever springs to mind most readily.
