Reviews:
JAZZKAMMER - NEW WATER (3"CD by Ohm Records)
Last year Jazzkammer's Lasse Marhaug and John Hegre visited Singapore to work on the music side of a theatre production, which ended as a CD release on Bottrop-Boy (see Vital Weekly 389). In the same time they played some concerts in Singapore which are not edited into this live 3" CD on Ohm Records. Jazzkammer's 'Pulse' and 'Pancakes' releases marked a distinct step forward from their rather uniformed noise of the earlier releases. I saw them play live earlier this year and somehow they have not translated the studio sound to a new live sound. That concert and this CD sees them playing with noise and feedback, despite the use of some water sounds and short outbursts of rhythmical elements. For the bigger part it's still Merzbow influenced noise music. I must admit Jazzkammer does a rather good job at that, but at the same time, I keep thinking: how about translating 'Pancakes' into a live concert and push things forward? 'New Water' leaves me with mixed feelings. (Frans de Ward, Vital Weekly) |
