Title Description:
First Concert Ð Second Take factors Sugimoto into the equation that produced the glorious Schnee (Erstwhile, 2000). Austrians Christof Kurzmann and Stangl rendezvous with Sugimoto at OFF Site, the Tokyo gallery co-founded by Sugimoto (with Toshimaru Nakamura and Utah Kawasaki) as a sanctum of extremely quiet improv. Unsurprisingly, the trioÕs first meeting proves to be a splendid occasion. If the harmony between StanglÕs guitar and KurzmannÕs G3 PowerBook neared perfection on Schnee, the trio with Sugimoto achieves it. The first track affords the paired guitarists ample space to work endless, enchanting variations on the sensation of leaves or snowflakes adrift, caught up and carried alongÑor blown gently off-courseÑby KurzmannÕs insinuating electronics. But itÕs the second section, where Sugimoto, Stangl and Kurzmann conjure a much more unsettling plaint of wind and ghosts, that realizes this potent comboÕs true potential.
