After numerous concerts and studio sessions Friedman & Liebezeit are presenting two new pieces of their ongoing Secret Rhythms project. Both tracks, one mixed and co produced by Mark Ernestus (Rhythm & Sound) and one by Burnt Friedman, testify less to post-processing and editing techniques than to the physicality of the instruments played.
The two arrangements - often played on stage over the past 2 years - unfold an uncommonly hypnotic effect for respectively over 10 minutes each side. The post-Can Liebezeit not only created his own cycle-based drum system but also developed an innovative drumset that concentrates on the essentials. Friedman's percussive, synthetic or acoustic sound sequences adhere to the same understanding of rhythm, allowing the two sound generators to perfectly intermesh and form a unit both acoustically and electronically, in terms of improvisation and concept alike. The cover artwork was provided by artist Theo Altenberg.
