NICK HOFFMAN - ANCIENT TAPE MACHINE VOL. 2 (cassette by Pilgrim Talk)
Also on the improvisation scheme is Nick Hoffman, mostly known as Katchmere and mostly for his electronic music, but under his own name improvises with percussion - at least on this release. Value for money this release! On side A we have a recording from Boone (Iowa) on the left channel, and Fukuoka (Japan) on the right channel, while on side B various field recordings from Seoul are on separate channels, while on the center (stereo) channel we have a live recording from Chicago. An obscure release, I must say. Things are very low on percussion side, slow, sometimes with a bit of feedback or no input mixer stuff. The fact that's separated is actually quite nice. On both sides it works out well. I have no idea whether there has been any sort of edit or if we are listening straight to concert recordings cut from the beginning, but there is a great sense of minimalism to this material. Peaceful and experimental. Very nice. (FdW)
