Franz Hautzinger – quartertone trumpet Keiji Haino – electric guitar Jamaaladeen Tacuma – electric bass Hamid Drake - drums

Perfectly in keeping with the nature of improvisation, Franz Hautzinger and Keiji Haino deliver the unforeseeable. Both are improvisers and conceptualists capable of eveloping a logical albeit open form out of seemingly irreconcilable and disparate elements. This music looks for its own path somewhere between the intensity of stillness and the ecstasy of eruption. Thanks to their intellectual sharpness, both Hautzinger and Haino master the conflict of bringing moments of transgression into a harmony so tight it could snap.What Hautzinger here summons to debut, at first glance is a shimmering fabric of musicians who all successfully converted to highly individual paths. Keiji Haino in Stilpluralist there is a first-class, as a percussionist Hamid Drake is at home on three continents, and Jamaaladeen Tacumas extremely independent radio can play bass tones as well as almost guitaristic subtleties throw into the room. Not least Hautzinger itself that drives the sonic possibilities of his instrument again to new heights.

Was Hautzinger hier zum Debut zusammenruft, ist schon auf den ersten Blick ein schillerndes Gefüge aus Musikern, die alle auf höchst individuellen Pfaden erfolgreich wandeln. In Keiji Haino findet sich ein Stilpluralist erster Güte, Hamid Drake ist als Perkussionist auf drei Kontinenten zuhause, und Jamaaladeen Tacumas äußerst eigenständiges Bassspiel kann Funk-Nuancen genauso wie fast gitarristische Feinsinnigkeiten in den Raum werfen. Nicht zuletzt Hautzinger selbst, der die klanglichen Möglichkeiten seines Instruments immer wieder in neue Sphären treibt. —
