“The Mortimer Trap is an epic 77min “variation” of Morton Feldman’s For Bunita Marcus constructed by German experimentalist and techno icon Thomas Brinkmann and Australian sound artist Oren Ambarchi. Pulsating waves of claustrophobic ambience generated from who-knows-what patiently builds into a throbbing rhythmic pulse of gorgeous sonic density. Since the 80s Thomas Brinkmann has experimented with sound, its textures and its construction methods. His custom built two-arm turntable on Concept 1, the sampling of damaged records on Klick and various experiments with carved-groove vinyl are just a handful of career highlights that mark Brinkmann out as a true musical pioneer. Oren Ambarchi, primarily known for his solo guitar records for the Touch label, has worked with a diverse array of artists such as Keiji Haino, Fennesz, Phill Niblock, Jim O’Rourke, Voice Crack, Keith Rowe and Sunn 0))). Ambarchi and Brinkmann first worked together in in Japan in January 2011 in a trio with Mika Vainio. The Mortimer Trap is their first collaborative work as a duo.”
D’un côté un producteur de techno minimal, manipulateur de vinyl et animateur du label Max Ernst, à l’aura internationale et de l’autre un guitariste compositeur électronique au parcours riche en rencontres et les deux marqués par le son statique et les micro-pulsations. Ensemble ils se lancent dans une variation autour de “For Bunita Marcus” de Morton Feldman. Un long et unique mouvement toute en lente continuité marqué par des apparitions / disparitions de divers matériaux d’origine instrumentale ou issus de transformations électroniques. Atmosphérique et fortement marqué ambiant. Un art du mixage et du temps étendu.
