MIND vol. 3 - Isildurs Bane & Metamorfosi Trio
What we have here is a meeting between Isildurs Bane, an electric chamber
ensemble from Halland, Sweden and Metamorfosi Trio, an acoustic chamber
ensemble from Asti, Italy.
The first time these two units performed together was at Skellefteĺ, Sweden
in 2001 and the collaboration led to performances at the theatrefestival in
Asti and a Swedish tour the following year.
But this CD is not merely a recording of two ensembles.
It is also a meeting of what on the surface may seem like opposing forces:
Composed music - Improvised music
Electric music - Acoustic music
Loud music - Quiet music
Extrovert music - Introvert music
Italian music - Swedish music.
Then - Now
These dichotomies are not only superficial, they are also erroneous.
First of all, even though Metamorfosi Trio work primarily within the field
of free improvisation, parts of their music are worked-out in advance. I
dare say it is entirely possible to perceive even some of their improvised
music as composed. This is most likely due to the high level of musicianship
and musical knowledge within this trio.
Isildurs Bane on the other hand are known for their well-planned
interpretations of Mats Johanssonąs compositions. At the same time, there
has always been a place for improvisation in Isildurs Bane, even when
performing the most elaborate arrangements.
On this CD, the ensembles meet, shake hands and perform music that is
composed, arranged and improvised at the same time. The most obvious example
is the Ląevento-suite, a piece composed and improvisions for a dance
performance.
The suite (recorded live in one take) uses composition as its foundation and
improvisation as its superstructure.
Even though there is no arguing that Isildurs Bane are first and foremost a
band based on the use of electric instruments, thereąs no denying the fact
that acoustic percussion instruments have played a large part in Isildurs
Baneąs music during the last ten years.
On these recordings however, good use is made of electronic equipment, but
not necessarily in the obvious way.
There is more.
Metamorfosi Trio and Isildurs Bane have sent audiofiles to each other and
these have been edited and processed in order to transform the music into
something new and slightly different.
A way of composing improvised music and a way of working within the
MIND-concept as utilised previously by Isildurs Bane on their albums MIND
Vol. 1 and MIND Vol. 2.
In short:
Do - Undo - Redo.
All in all, after listening to this recording I am sure the dichotomies
listed above can be put to rest in this case.
This is music played by musicians striving to go further, straining the
sonic boundaries and using content, creativity and technology to push form
beyond its common limits.

Mica è una cazzata (prova a smentirmela se riesci). Casomai è una cosa già
