专辑介绍

by François Couture

Following the reissue by XI of the Young Person's Guide to Phill Niblock, Touch released this two-CD set of new works by the master of sonic illusion. Touch Food consists of four pieces, which are the result of a one-month residency in April 2001 at the CCMIX in Paris. There, Niblock has worked with clarinetist Carol Robinson, electric bassist Kasper T. Toeplitz, pianist Reinhold Friedl and saxophonist Ulrich Krieger -- the latter a recurring collaborator. Each piece follows Niblock's usual blueprint. He records samples of the instrument, develops harmonic series, and creates a rich drone of multi-tracked tones interacting with one another and the musician, who at the end of the process adds a live part to the final mix. The drone fills up the listening space; inhabits it. Disc one presents three 25-minute pieces. &Sea Jelly Yellow,& with Krieger's baritone sax, is the best one: fat, larger than life, captivating. There's a problem with the other two tracks. &Sweet Potato& is credited to Robinson, and &Yam Almost May& to Toeplitz (in two places in the booklet) but the ear contests the information. The raging low register of &Sweet Potato& obviously belongs to the electric bass, while the nasal, reedy qualities of &Yam Almost May& is clearly clarinet. &Yam Almost May& is surprisingly delicate, almost fragile. The composer has left it less saturated, which introduces a pleasant change. Disc two contains the piano piece &Pan Fried 70,& glorious and endowed with a scary bass register. Yet its duration makes it quite a challenge to sit through. Niblock explains in the liner notes that being stuck with four 25-minute pieces that would not fit onto a single CD, he &decided to make a 75-minute version of the piano piece. I became a little tired at 70 minutes, and since I am 70 this year, I stopped at that.& Don't let the casual, detached tone fool you. There is more care going into (and coming out of) this music than you could suspect.
