Derek Bailey / Noël Akchoté – Close To The Kitchen

Only 1 left in stock

$20.00

“Derek Bailey records often with very different people, but this session stands out as one of his best from the second half of the ’90s. At the time of this recording, in August 1996, Noël Akchoté was still part of Benoît Delbecq’s group the Recyclers. His guitar technique had developed into a highly personal idiom. The two guitarists met in a studio and performed some of their best music. Bailey plays unusually relaxed, using silence and texture in a way rarely heard from him. Akchoté alternates between delicate plucking on prepared guitar and frenetic playing lying somewhere between René Lussier, Thurston Moore, and Bailey. Both use only electric guitars, although sometimes they play them unplugged (as in “Toi et Moi”). The opener, “Pas la Montagne!,” is so energy-packed it gets scary. Each one of the six tracks is a lesson in active listening and improvising outside of the clichés.” – allmusic.com
