Wanabni: Kamilya_Jubran & Werner_Hasler

Wanabni …and we shall construct
Kamilya Jubran (Voice, Oud) & Werner Hasler (Trumpet, Electronics)

More than 5 years have passed since K&W produced their 1st album « Wameedd » , more
than hundred shows they've performed together during this period, in different parts of the
world.
Such continuous « live » and alive process has greatly shaped and strengthened their
musical interplay. Simultaneously, it allowed them to learn more on each others’ roots, and
enabled them to find additional common playgrounds despite the differences of their origins.
This , as well as their shared common vision of the world , has augmented their desire to
keep searching for new challenging spaces that would provoke , at the same time invite
them to take more risks and more freedom in their expressions.

« Wanabni » process started as an attempt to reply to a question K&W asked themselves :
how would we play today the song « Al Shaatte Al Akhar » (one of their tunes that their
audience mostly liked) after having played it so many times .
This route necessitated an up grade of their tools as well as their ways of using them ;
and their continuous work slowly grew to be their new repertoire that they based on
classical Arabic music, modern classical music of the 20th century, jazz and electronic
music. An outcome that once again deserves a definition that goes far beyond a shallow or
simplistic « exotic oriental -European fusion» one.

Parallel to the musical evolution, and following their wish to have a natural coherent growth
of their project, K&W have revisited the same poets they collaborated with in 2003 for
Wameedd , namely Fadhil Al Azzawi, Aïcha Arnaout, Sawsan Darwaza, and have chosen
texts that were written by those poets since then/after 2003.
K&W have revised the same book ‘Hommes de l'autre rive' of Dimitri Analis- the only poet
they do not know in person, and of it, they selected an other part that links up with/recalls
« Al Shaattee Al Akhar ». They as well combined some texts of the poet Hassan Najmi –
with whom Kamilya has collaborated, for her last solo project Makan.
Consequently, the storyline of Wanabni embodies some recent reflections of those
contemporary poets.

Hasler/Paeffgen/Berger

Werner Hasler, Gilbert Paeffgen and Karl Berger comprise a trio that is uniting different musical worlds, telling their stories in a language of groove-based improvisation by using open, flexible rules.

Throughout his musical career, Karl Berger , winner of six Downbeat Critics' Polls as a vibraphone soloist, has been working with music originating from many continents. His sophisticated improvisations and composition swing with a pure essence. Karl Berger and Ornette Coleman cofoundet the woodstock-based 'creative music studio'.

Gilbert Paeffgen, inspired by African and Celtic rhythms, plays an assortment of drumming styles, creating an extraordinary range of sounds. By maintaining an intensity in the way he plays, he is able to unite groove with interaction in a way that defies category.

Werner Hasler has developed his own style in his unique application of electronics in interactive music. He maintains a commitment to developing his own scales that are based upon the division of octaves, overtone structures and harmonic parallelism.

The trio is finding its range away from the exotic side of ethno-centrism through a completely natural use of electronics in their music. The trio's compositions are applying modes inspired by worlds that appear to be so different, such as the Arabic maqam and Alpine horns or 20th century classical music. By researching and applying the musical structures from several traditions, the three of them are able to open up a wide space in which to develop other ways of interplay in their music.

This is the kind of ambition that changes the boundaries: a kind of musical ambition that could well come to be seen as playing a significant role in the creative and artistic definition of a century that is, after all, still young.

Hasler/Paeffgen/Audetat

Werner Hasler -trumpet, Gilbert Paeffgen -drums, Pierre Audetat -samples

Hasler/Paeffgen/Audétat is a lucky hazard meeting of three curious and well experienced musicians of same but different backgrounds. Instantly composed songs with enough space left to read between the lines evolve from their awareness to use sounds to create formal context. Their common ground is melodic and thrifty, sensitive and electrified, modern communication at it's best: with each other, next to eac other, against or without each other.

Werner Hasler-trumpet, Dominik Burkhalter-drums, Urban Lienert-bass, Oli Kuster-electronics

'Adept crankiness, intellect and humor: together these three guarantee manufactur's collective and indidudual virtuosity, their awareness of style and preciseness and latently gone mad musical mixture not to become pathological.

Reggae leftovers, bleeping space-music, laid back rock drumming, sophisticated bass playing, Jazz, virtuoso trumpet babble, modernistic electronics, danceables next to almost songlike structures. Post-fusion from the Never-Ever-Lounge with enough substantial stability to manoeuvre this crossover safely around the cliffs of the cliché. Monotony and free flow, repetition and action in perpetual change.

Dominik Burkhalter's distinct, complex drumming throbs and clicks along in steady dialogue with Oli Kuster's electronic paraphernalia, while bassplayer Urban Lienert is drawing dots and dashes between them. A respirating, 3-dimensional sound-and-rhythm-corpus, on which Hasler's trumpet easily moves between melancholy and outbursts; truly playful, with a flimsy premonition of a profiteable coolness slightly recollecting Mark Isham's lyrical dispassion.

So no exsanguinous popjazzing here or anything like it - and certainly not a front-horn with sidemen: manufactur are a BAND! Doubtlessly and in each and every second.'

Wameedd: Kamilya_Jubran & Werner_Hasler

Wameedd is a dynamic and symbiotic creational process between Kamilya Jubran and Werner Hasler. In the unique opportunity of their meeting, Kamilya and Werner started an experiment with no definition, nor an intended destination. They both have different roots yet their central worlds meet. At every meeting, Kamilya and Werner experiment and go to a different orbit as they get inspired with the questions that mobilize their imagination. Every outcome becomes consistent with strong and new meanings yet at the same time associated with the simplicity of sound . It is an open communication with less cultural preconceptions.

This is a smooth outcome of Kamilya's voice quality and its limitless utility, Arabic words, Arabic phonemic rhythms and Kamilya's compositions. It is also an outcome of the roots of Werner's vocal instrument, his own melodies and his unique lead in electronic music. They both come in on common grounds with a common vision of the world and a shared knowledge of how to communicate with it. The outcome at every meeting is fragile, uncertain, yet at the same time expressive and definitive.

Hasler/Inami

"Sunao and I met face-to-face for no more than ten minutes ‚ somewhere in a club. We were introduced, had a chat, and then split, agreeing to exchange some of our work: we have not met since. The music in Transmit came from the agreed upload from Sunao to me. We have not talked about it, and neither did we construct any common musical plans. The file came just one way to me, so there was no collaboration on what has happened with it since. I downloaded sounds, soundscapes and half-finished tunes of his, and I uploaded my work in return.

After downloading the file, I listened before I cut and shaped his sounds, taking extracts and looping parts. I added my own sounds from different sources, such as a diverse set of treatments from my trumpet recordings, various samplings, and some analogue synthezising. I created arrangements by playing with sound 'colours', cutting some of them and putting the whole thing in a frame of rhythm and melody ‚ or using what I created as a frame for additional rhythms and melodies.

The unguided and unrestricted use of Sunaos very personal ideas, which were unfamiliar to me, was a very refreshing way to work. This music began from the ideas of a very real person, yet developed with that person as only a 'virtual' partner , pure input and no restriction." Werner Hasler

Sunao produced the recording 'Delayed' (electr-ohm released in Japan 2004, using the sounds and beats of Rick Walker, Roberto Zorzi, Slacknote and Werner Hasler )

Werner_Hasler

Trompeter sind die modernen Sänger des Jazz. Sie sind angesagt wie sonst nur die neuen Vokalistinnen. Rund um die Welt und gerne vor einem gestärkten Rücken aus elektronischen Beats siedeln sie irgendwo in der Mitte zwischen Tradition und neuem Chic. Es herrscht Inflation im Reich der Söhne des hilfsbedürftigen Chet Baker und des unverstandenen Miles Davis. Der Berner Trompeter Werner Hasler hat in solchem Kontext, mit seiner Band 'manufactur' eine der bemerkenswertesten Platten der letzten Monate aufgenommen. Ein Kaffeetrinken mit Werner Hasler.

Auf seinem vierten album gelingt dem Schweizer Quartett erneut ein elastischer Spagat zwischen Kunstschaffenden wie dem Tied & Tickled Trio ind Molvaer. Der berner Trompeter Werner Hasler erweitert diesen Kontext aber um die melancholischen Klangstrukturen eines Miles oder den extremen Minimalismus à la Jon Hassell. Denn ähnlich wie diese lässt Bandleader Hasler sein kultiviertes Blech wie eine verlorene Seele durch die Stücke geistern. Allerdings ist er dabei - anders als beim Vorgänger 'rong dob' - nicht mehr allein. Mit Keyboarder Oli Kuster wechselt er sich kongenial beim Spielen von zartesten Melodien ab: Sie kommunizieren im besten Sinne, Trompetensound und elektronische Tasten harmonieren perfekt- so werden neue stimmungsvolle, spannende Klang-Räume in der Manufactur eingerichtet. überhaupt spielt Elektronik in ihrer Musik eine entscheidende Rolle, wird sie doch souverän eingesetzt, um èberraschende Querschläger zu deponieren, oder sich mit den intensiven Improvisationen zu reiben. Eine bemerkenswerte Platte.
mai Jazzthing April/Mai

[...] Manufactur work in a very elegant way ‚ they are much more than mere chic. They are also about emerging from the background to take their place in the forefront. They are enjoyable, because they have a certain something that is not a huge, intellectual monster. They are not just another young band‚ they represent something original that has grown organically over the years, something that is melancholic, intensive and artful. Oli Kusters Electronics and Keys plus Urban Lienerts Bass are better at opening doors than slamming them shut. Dominik Burkhalter on the drums hits the nail on the head. The addition of these parts produces something that is unobtrusively beautiful.

Ulrich Steinmetzger Jazzpodium September 2005

The musical preferences of the Swiss trumpeter Werner Hasler lie somewhere between Autechre and 'Sketches of Spain' by Miles Davis. Light, interesting grooves drive his manufactur quartet on the new CD 'Rong Dob' (rent a dog/Al!ve).

DER BUND (avantpremiere of Wanabni)

Hypnotische Klangwelt

Eine weitaus schattigere Form der Folklore ergeben die bestrickenden Klänge des Duo Kamilya Jubran/Werner Hasler. Die in Israel geborene Tochter palästinensischer Eltern hat für das erstmals vorgestellte neue Programm Gedichte diverser zeitgenössischer arabischer Poeten zu schwerblütigen Weisen vertont. Stimme und Oud von Kamilya Jubran treten dabei in Dialog mit den geschmackssicher ausgewählten Sounds Werner Haslers, der gänzlich auf herkömmliche Beats verzichtet und es doch vortrefflich versteht, diese hypnotische Klangwelt zum Pulsieren zu bringen. Das Ergebnis ist eine anspruchsvolle, in jedem Moment betörende Hoschspannungsmusik von fragiler Schönheit.

LE MONDE

Mariage arrangé entre luth et instruments électroniques
a Seine Saint-Denis a beau traverser les turbulences que l'on sait, vendredi 4 novembre, dans la soir√©e √† Montreuil, L'Argo'Notes, petite salle de concerts de la Maison populaire, est pleine. A l'affiche, la chanteuse et musicienne palestinienne Kamilya Jubran, avec un trafiqueur de sons électroniques, le Suisse Werner Hasler. Puis, en seconde partie de soirée, un duo formé par le joueur d'oud français d'origine tunisienne Jean-Pierre Smadja, alias Smadj (la moitié du projet DuOud, avec le oudiste algérien Mehdi Haddab), en compagnie du percussionniste Cyril Hernandez, compositeur en résidence à la Maison populaire de Montreuil, tous les deux également fondus d'électro.

A l'instar d'Ousmane Touré (ex-membre du groupe sénégalais Touré Kunda), qui s'est, lui, produit à Bobigny, ces deux tandems férus d'expérimentations sonores y sont programmés dans le cadre du festival Villes des musiques du monde, manifestation née en 1997 √† Aubervilliers, désormais éclatée sur quinze villes de la Seine-Saint-Denis, comme sa collègue Africolor, qui débute quelques jours après (du 25 novembre au 17 décembre).

Originaire de Galilé, Arabe de nationalité isrélienne, arrivée en Europe en 2002, après vingt ans de vie musicale au sein du groupe palestinien Sabreen, Kamilya Jubran a commencé à collaborer avec Werner Hasler, musicien de jazz formé à la Swiss Jazz School de Berne, au cours d'une résidence artistique en Suisse où elle avait été invitée par la fondation Pro Helvetia.

A travers la musique électroacoustique, tous deux se sont trouvé des atomes crochus, des envies créatives de manipulations sonores. La voix fluide et serpentine, constellée de nuances, Kamilya Jubran passe du murmure à l'éclat, atire syllabe après syllabe, jouant avec le silence, ou accélére au contraire les mots, les phrases de poètes arabes contemporains (le Libanais Gubran Khalil Gubran, la Syrienne Aïcha Amaout, la Jordanienne Sawsan Darwaza...). Elle chante en s'accompagnant d'un oud, le luth arabe.

Werner Hasler, équipé d'un synthétiseur et d'échantillons sonores enregistrés, habille et déshabille, brouille et pimente de parasites, de bruissements, de fréquences, la voix et l'instrument. Minimaliste, ludique malgré une certaine austérité, une esthétique insolite et passionnante que l'on pourra retrouver le 18 novembre sur CD (Wameedd/Abeille Music)[...]

Die fremde in dieser Welt
Das Album 'Wameedd' von Kamilya Jubran und Werner Hasler

[...]Jubrans Stimme steht im Zentrum. Sie lässt elf arabische Gedichte in all ihren poetischen Dimensionen aufleben und spielt mit den einzelnen Wörtern und Silben der Texte. Sie verzögert und beschleunigt, wechselt die Klangfarben und kämpft für die Unabhängigkeit und Eigenständigkeit jeder einzelnen Note. Hasler umgarnt Jubrans Gesang in jedem Lied mit neuen Klangfarben, ohne sich in den Vordergrund zu drängen. Links und rechts wandeln musikalische Samples und Frequenzen des Analogsynthezisers durch die Lautsprecher, verzögern einmal das Tempo, umspielen polyrhythmisch den Gesang. Manchmal baut Hasler Spannung auf, taucht dann aber wieder hinter die Gesangsstimme ab: ganz im Vertrauen in die Kraft des intimen musikalischen Gemäldes[...]

TELERAMA

L'Orient remixé

Kamilya Jubran et Werner Hasler: une atmosphère à la fois minimaliste, moderne et orientale.

La chanteuse palestinienne Kamilya Jubran, en duo avec Werner Hasler, perpétue les traditions orientales avec des compositions électroacoustiques.

Ils sont deux sur scène. Elle, douce brune au sourire carmin, son oud dans les bras pour accompagner ses arabesques haut perchées qui s'étirent en jouant du cri, du murmure, du silence. Lui, grand brun aux cheveux ras, penché sur son clavier d'où s'échappent de légères syncopes électro qui virent parfois, en arrière-plan, à la frénésie techno. Leur parti pris est exigeant, radical, d'un minimalisme très moderne et pourtant fortement ancré dans les traditions orientales. Cela tient de la prière, de la quête, comme de la poésie ou de la comptine: c'est sensuel, concentré, sans fioritures, une danse intérieure en ondulations volatiles qui invitent à la rêverie.

SEFRONIA
Wameedd

L'album "Wameedd" n'est jamais aussi jouissif que lorsqu'il tient au plus près les vocalises de Kamilya Jubran, chanteuse et musicienne palestinienne, et l'architecture électronique suisse de Werner Hasler. La voix, ponctuée d'incursions d'oud tout à fait pertinentes, prises dans des boucles électroniques très délicates, atteint un degré convaincant de lyrisme fragile avec une certaine facilité. Le rythme de la diction de la chanteuse, parfois forte en gorge, mi-dansante, mi-plaintive, met en valeur les sonorités de la langue : les "h" happé, les "r" mouillés déboulent, alternant précipitations linguistiques et phases de suspension rythmique.

Cette voix, empruntant aux techniques du chant traditionnel, est merveilleusement servie par la finesse électronique de l'album. Tantêt discrets, tantêt sombres, les beats et bidouilles sont les éléments d'une orfévrerie sonore o√π les montées émotionnelles et le spleen ont la part belle. La palette électronicienne de Werner Hasler sublime les vertus acoustiques de la voix : battements percussifs, groove grondant, basse lancinante et pulsations infra-basses forment un paysage aux cadences justes. Le partage de l'espace entre la voix et l'électronique nous enivre mème parfois de refrains entètants.

"Wameedd" détient un certain pouvoir d'envo√ªtement. Ce dernier est d'ailleurs particulièrement marqué lorsque l'album privilégie les tonalités festives. En effet, certaines implorations plus mystérieuses et certains riffs plus bluesy rendent peut-être un peu moins bien compte de la volupté sonore indéniable de "Wameedd".

ROOTSWORLD Bulletin

Of these three recordings, Kamilya Jubran and Werner Hasler's Wameedd is the most challenging, creative, and disturbing. Hasler, a Swiss composer and performer of electronic music, provides an eerie, subtle, and remarkably appropriate sound background for Jubran's voice and 'ud. Jubran's 'ud playing is mostly basic and spare, her repetitive lines and note-bending often bearing a family resemblance to that of Mississippi delta blues guitarists. The focus here is less on melody than on emotion, feeling, and the words. For Wameedd Jubran has set to music texts chosen mostly from contemporary Arab poets, like Paul Shaoul and Aïcha Amaout, as well as from the celebrated Gibran Khalil Gibran and Greek poet Dimetri Analis. Jubran's expressive vocals and the instrumental atmospherics make it easy to appreciate Wameedd without understanding the lyrics, but nonetheless a key element will certainly be missed. So here's a hair-raising sample, from the end of the song, "Nafad al-Ahwal 2": "I remembered the day I was killed, raped, cut to pieces lemon by lemon, cigarette by cigarette, was ripped and for the first time I cried for my death and for nature."

'Man muss spielen wie die Kinder'
Tom Gsteiger, DerBund10_12_09.jpg

Hochkonzentrierte Zukunftsmusik
Deutsch-schweizerisches Ensemble kombiniert Jazz und globale Musikkulturen
Was soll denn das? Jetzt kratzen und schaben, rumpeln und knarzen, flirren und fiebern die schon wieder so neumodern im Café Museum in Passau. Was erlauben die sich?
Eine extra Erlaubnis braucht die deutsch-schweizerische Kooperation aus Karl Berger, Werner Hasler und Gilbert Paeffgen am Sonntagabend für ihre intensive Klangforschung wohl nicht. Sie nehmen sich einfach eine Freiheit, die eigentlich jedem zusteht, und treiben ihr Ding gezielt immer weiter voran, ein „Ding“, das für Berger (Vibrafon) und Paeffgen (Schlagzeug) schon seit Jahrzehnten läuft. Mit dem Trompeter Werner Hasler, der nebenbei noch Notebook, Mischpult und ein sogenanntes Chaos-Pad bedient, verbinden sie nun die disparatesten Töne und Rhythmen zu einem offen strukturierten, organisch-technischen Klangkörper, der quer zu allen gewöhnlichen Musikerfahrungen steht, der die Einflüsse der drei Musiker aus unzähligen globalen Musikkulturen, freier Musikszene und Jazz völlig neu kombiniert.
Für den Zuhörer erschließen sich die Regeln und inneren Abläufe einer solchen Musik natürlich nicht unmittelbar. Umso spannender wird es, wenn die Musiker nach relativ unübersichtlichen Abschnitten plötzlich punktgenau zusammenspielen und sich ein Stück gleichsam im Rückblick als Einheit zu erkennen gibt. Das macht neugierig auf mehr. Immer deutlicher treten Motive von Haslers präsenter und zugleich nachdenklicher Trompete oder von
Paeffgens wuchtigem, exaktem Trommeln hervor. Dazwischen skizziert Berger ganz seriös flirrende Klangrätsel und oktavierte Abstiege. Da spielt sich im Hintergrund ein Elektrosound mit der Raumfrequenz des Kellergewölbes - es dröhnt und wummert, ohne auch nur ein bisschen laut zu sein. Es hat Rhythmus. Genau dosiert taucht ein Synthesizer-Sound auf, der einfach nur schön ist, oder eine kleine, seltsam karnevaleske Trompetenschleife. Schade, dass das Material, das sie mit diesen Live-Auftritten für die kommende Aufnahme 2010 erproben, nach einer Stunde mit acht Stücken schon erschöpft ist.
Andererseits nimmt man aus dieser dichten, hochkonzentrierten Zukunftsmusik derartig viele Eindrücke mit, dass sie sich Tage später noch im Gehirn auf unerwartete Weise entfalten können. Dieses Risiko muss man leider eingehen.

Hasler/Paeffgen/Audétat

'Unterhaltsam, abstrakt, akzentuiert und mitreißend'
Tanja Krapp, fränkischer Tag 19. Mai 2008

Entschweben ins Nichts
FÜRTH - Der aus Liechtenstein stammende Jazztrompeter Werner Hasler hat gemeinsam mit seinen Schweizer Kollegen Gilbert Paeffgen am Schlagzeug und Pierre Audétat, verantwortlich für Samples, beim deutschen Avantgardejazzlabel Meta Records ein neues, unbedingt empfehlenswertes Album veröffentlicht.
Aufgenommen wurde die CD an einem einzigen Tag, am 9. November 2006, im Studio 15 von Radio Suisse Romande in Lausanne. Der Titel 'The Story of Major Tom' spielt auf David Bowies ersten ganz grossen Hit 'Space Oddity' an. Die Geschichte geht so: Der Astronaut Major Tom umkreist in einer Kapsel die Erde und ist so fasziniert von der unendlichen Tiefe des Alls, dass er aussteigt und im Nichts verschwindet. Der Bodenstation trägt er noch schöne Grüsse an seine Frau auf. Auch die zwölf Stücke des Albums des seit 2005 bestehenden Projekts Hasler Paeffgen Audétat hören sich so an, als seien sie für die Tiefen des Alls bestimmt. Haslers Trompete zieht sich piano wie ein feiner Goldfaden durch Audétats elektronisch flimmernde Klangwelten. Sie ist, teils eingesampelt oder elektronisch verfremdet, stets melodisch bestimmend, aber drängt sich doch nie in den Vordergrund. Paeffgens Schlagzeug setzt dazu präzise Tupfer in unterschiedlichen Klangfarben. Akustische und elektronische Elemente gehen eine federleicht ins Ohr schwebend Synthese ein. Am 7. Dezember kommen Hasler Paeffgen Audétat übrigens in die Tangente in Eschen: Der Liechtensteiner Bildhauer und Jazzliebhaber Marco Eberle über die Formation: ´Sie haben ja kein fixes Arrangement für die Aufnahme, bloss angedeutete Themen, die sie jedesmal wieder frei interpretieren. So wird jeder Gig ein einmaliges Erlebnis.'

Artifizielle Technisierung
NovJazz-Festival, Huttwil

Novemberdepressionen weggepustet
Gleich vier Top-Bands sind am novJazz-Festival in Huttwil aufgetreten keine Chance für Novemberdepressionen.

Der Freitagabend stand ganz im Zeichen des elektronischen Jazz: Das Elektro-Improvisationstrio ¬´Hasler Paeffgen Audetat' erweckte die ¬´Technik' des 20. Jahrhunderts zu neuem Leben und zeigte beispielhaft, dass Technik nicht zwangsläufig Automatisierung und damit Fremdsteuerung bedeutet, sondern durchaus auch Benutzbarkeit und damit Verspieltheit.
Gilbert Paeffgen am Schlagzeug verblüffte mit Kraftmomenten, Werner Hasler (Trompete) wartete mit teils explosiven, teils urmeditativen Einlagen auf; Pierre Audetat (Elektronik und Sampling) liess akustische Musik mit futuristischen Klängen verschmelzen ‚ ebenso wie mit alten Hörfunksprechakten. ¬´Jedes Stück ist ein Unikat. Unsere Persönlichkeiten werden mit dem Spiel verwoben', so Audétat.
20.11.06 Mathias Bösiger Berner Zeitung

Hasler, Paeffgen Audetat: The Story of Major Tom. Trio im Studio. Neben der Bandarbeit mit manufactur pflegt der Berner Trompeter Werner Hasler ein Faible für Ausflüge ins Offne. Wichtig ist ihm dabei das spielerische Demontieren von Klischees. Also ist der mit ähnlichen Intentionen arbeitende Sample-Artist Pierre Audetat aus Lausanne ein guter Partner für vorurteilsloses, elektro-akustisches Instant Composing. Den futuristischen Bastard voll bizarrer, mal sperriger, mal songnaher Klangfindungen grundiert und akzentuiert der Berner Drummer Gilbert Paeffgen, der sich vom Krautrock bis zu Ethnorhythmen auskennt und das sehr ökonomisch einfliessen lässt. Mal scheinen Don Cherrys Duos mit Ed Blackwell auf, mal Gamelanmusik von übermorgen. Beliebig geraten die Resultate nicht. Sie sind ein munterer Abenteuerspielplatz voller ebenso irritierender wie präziser Teile, die sich suggestiv addieren, weil keins der konzisen Stücke ins Geschwätzige driftet.

Hasler/Inami

Transmit

funprox

'Transmit' is a collaboration project between Werner Hasler and Sunao Inami. Making this collaboration rather interesting is the fact that the two live in different continents- one in Bern, Switzerland, the other in Kobe, Japan.

The two met in a club, for only a short time, and agreed to share some of their work. While these sort of virtual collaborations are becoming somewhat more common these days, I am still fascinated by the idea of such long distance exchanges. However, given the disconnect between the performers/artists, the results of this mode of work are not always as fascinating. This is certainly not the case with Hasler and Inami however; their results are well worth their long-distance efforts.

Taken as a whole, the atmosphere of the album is somewhat relaxed. For the most part the material might be considered ambient. However, ‚ÄòTransmit‚Äô is not only atmospherics, nor is it entirely mellow either, for that matter. There is also a quite a heavy dose of electronica action coming through rhythm/drums and melody (as with the songs 'Boomed 23rd' and 'Dasong ab', for example). With these tracks, Hasler's trumpet recordings are often featured. The trumpet recordings are a sure highlight of 'Transmit', and fit very well with the Inami's electronic/synthetic atmospheres, which are equally entrancing.

One of the most interesting tracks from this collaboration is 'Pancake', which transitions slowly from calm ambience into a more upbeat kick-snare combination, and then tapers off into cool ambience once again. The songs from the album keep a rather steady mood/vibe going throughout, which in my opinion is a definite strong point with ambient-type material.

'Transmit' is by far one of the better ambient-electronic albums I' ve heard in some time. It would be nice if these two bumped into each other again sometime in the future.

Connexion Bizarre

Ultra-mellow ambience, tranquil trumpets and downtempo rhythms define "Transmit," a unique collaboration between two accomplished musicians. Werner Hasler is a self-styled composer and sound seeker, as well as a graduate of the Swiss Jazz School. Sunao Inami founded CAVE Studio in Kobe, Japan, and has built a reputation as a synthesizer specialist. In creating this album, actual collaboration between the artists was surprisingly minimal. Hasler received soundscapes and unfinished material from Inami, which were then used by Hasler in an unrestricted manner - without involving Inami in any further discussion or planning - to create "Transmit." The result is an intriguing melding of method and talent, and a superior combination of musicianship.
"Transmit" begins with "Boomed 23rd," setting the album's tone with head-nodding tribal rhythms later echoed in "Boomed 30th." Suitable for elegant candlelit dinners and late-night chill-out sessions alike, each track embodies a distinct set of sounds that contribute seamlessly to the thematic whole. "Dasong Ab" has a shivering and diaphanous serenity that contrasts well with the electronic chirps and beeps of "Aprilbong." The soft and stately progression of "Pancake," with its slow-build house rhythm, nicely follows the balmy and splashy synth stabs of "M5R2" (a remix from a previous Inami release, "Delayed"). "Junat" presents a nervous, off-kilter beat and small tweaks of sound that in turn introduce the melodic hums and drones of "Onkyo."
The most distinct characteristic of "Transmit" is the avant-jazz style horns. Performed by Hasler, the bluesy trumpet recordings manifest in a diverse variety, and are used liberally in conjunction with Inami's cut and looped sounds. In fact, the dreamy, saturating quality of the trumpet notes as they wash over and through the ambient atmospheres and soft, pulsing beats is remarkable. Thus the final synthesis of "Transmit" is astounding in its mysterious sublimity.

ReGen Magazine

It is well know that many long-distance relationships end up producing noting but heartache and regret. Not so with Switzerland-based Werner Hasler and Japan-based Sunao Inami.
After meeting "somewhere in a club" and only talking briefly, Werner Hasler and Sunao Inami agreed to exchange some of their musical work. From this agreement and from the files Inami uploaded to Hasler comes a refreshing and cohesive feeling ambient album, aptly titled Transmit.

Among the stand out tracks is "Boomed 23rd," a dark, groovy, richly layered didgeridoo-inspired up-tempo arrangement with breathy white noise-laden trumpet treatments. "Pancake" is a piece built upon lofty layers and a haunting trumpet. Ever so slowly, the song ebbs into infectious beats and light melody only to suddenly slip back into the spacious atmosphere from which it began. "Onkyo" is a beautifully murky meditation to free your mind, while "Boomed 30th" is perhaps one of the most robustly orchestrated tracks on the album. Once again making use of a similar, if not the same, trumpet treatments layered in with a catchy groove, various electronic, and organic sounding elements, and even some vocal samples.

Overall, the album has a rich, warm, ambient feel with just enough of an up-tempo to seduce those not already in love with more atmospheric music. If I have one gripe, it's that the trumpet used throughout the album sounds too similar from song to song. Yet it is this same use of trumpet that brings an almost jazzy, throaty feel to occasionally mechanical sounding tunes. Hasler claims that the two did not collaborate on the project, that instead, Inami uploaded some "sounds, soundscapes, and half-finished tunes" to which Werner then, "unguided and unrestricted," added his own sounds, recordings, samplings, and synthesizing. The end product speaks with one clear voice in a manner most true collaborations can only dream of. Enjoy.
