Description:

Â»A Mountain Doesnâ??t Know Itâ??s TallÂ«. Der Titel gibt die Stimmung Â¬dieser ersten gemeinsamen Duo-Platte von Fred Frith und Ikue Mori wieder: Verspielt, poetisch, geheimnisvoll, offen. Der Gitarrist und die SoundkÃ¼nstlerin arbeiten seit 40 Jahren zusammen. 2015 trafen sie sich in Deutschland, um fÃ¼r den Regisseur Werner Penzel die Musik zu seinem Film Â»Zen for NothingÂ« einzuspielen. Einen freien Studiotag nutzten sie fÃ¼r die CD-Aufnahme voller wundersamer Soundskulpturen und faszinierender ZwiegesprÃ¤che. Frith schreibt: Â»Luft bewegt sich durch Ohren und Haare und Lungen und Poren, durch Lieder und Kratzer und Fetzen von diesem, jenem und dem anderen.Â« Mori setzt fort: Â»Es ging um das Spiel mit den AlltagsgerÃ¤uschen, die beim Kochen entstehen, beim Tischtennis-Spielen und vor allem beim Lachen â?¦Â« -

A Mountain Doesn't Know It's Tall. The title reflects the mood of this duo record of Fred Frith and Ikue Mori - playful, poetic, mysterious and open. The guitarist and the sound-artist have been working together for forty years. Live excerpts from their work are documented on Fred Frith's 3 album box set Live at the Stone (Intakt CD 320). In January 2015, Frith and Mori met in Germany to record the music for a radio play for Werner Penzel, the filmmaker and longtime friend of Fred Frith, for his film Zen for Nothing. After finishing their work, they used the free studio day to record their first duo album together. Influenced by the film music and inspired by the long friendship 15 pieces were created that are both wonderful sound sculptures and fascinating dialogues. Fred Frith writes: "Air moving through ears and hair and lungs and pores, through songs, and scrapes, and scraps of this, that and the other." And Ikue Mori writes: "... it was about playing with the every-day noises that arise when cooking, playing ping-pong, and especially when laughing. There is a lot of joy in working with these recordings, interacting with them and making music."
