• MARGOLIS / FIEBIG / EMERGE - 'Tripolar Exercises' CD

Ten years after their first meeting, several live collaborations and shows across Europe, Al Margolis (aka If,Bwana), Gerald Fiebig, and Emerge set about composing this joint album.

The common denominator of their practices is the drone, present in the interludes of this album, for which Emerge supplied sounds that were processed, or 'recycled', by Margolis and then joined by other lifeforms via field recordings supplied by Fiebig.

The three main pieces of the album tend to exploit other approaches. They were composed over distance, with one participant recording a track, the second one adding another, and the third one adding the final track and mixing the piece (with the sequence of the contributors changed). The choice of obscure sound sources gives this album its particular texture, in which 'chance meetings' and a quasi-surrealist approach play a significant part.

"The three primary pieces are excellent pieces of electro-acoustic music, where improvisation is re-modelled into composition... The range is between very acoustic to much more inspired electronic sounds. Consequently, when they use more acoustic sound, the music takes a more improvised turn, and when it's more electronic, it seems (!) more composed. Each piece doesn't feel like a few layers of sound but rather a more complex affair. It results in a delicate release of some excellent music" (Vital Weekly).

Ltd x 200 copies in a gatefold digisleeve.
