Title Description:
"The moment before a rock band steps on stage: the amplifiers have been hooked up and are humming, the glaring flood lights are buzzing, a roadie is fiddling round with a drum set, pushes it a few centimeters until it is at the perfect place. Above all the atmosphere is electrified. This is the atmosphere the music on Thumb conveys. Of course a rock band will never step on stage, of course, the musicians make music the entire time (even when you donÕt believe it, because you donÕt think you can hear it! Here stand, or rather sit, five musicians on stage).
This CD is the result of a recording or stage situation, happening so suddenly, that happened on May 29, 2001 in the legendary Paris Club, Instants Chavires. The trio Ambarchi/Avenaim/Rowe (two prepared guitars, a little electronics and percussion) were on tour at the time in France (their first tour) and met the duo Otomo/Sachiko (guitar, turntables and sine wave generator), who are well-established and have proven themselves through uncountable recordings."
