Its a meeting of two ends of the improvising spectrum. With Belfi he has been playing concerts since 2008, in which Belfi plays drums, percussion, gongs, nord modulator, looper and feedback. Schick plays on both turntable, objects, gongs, bows, looper/pitcher and percussion. Both of these discs were created as part of improvising, but the one with Andrea Belfi was done over the course of a week of playing together, while the one with Szczesny was done in concert. Schick is an improviser, so playing concerts is perhaps more his trick of the trade than releasing CDs. Its been a while since last reviewing any music by Ignaz Schick or his Zarek label, but that’s doesn’t mean that he wasn’t active, as these two duo discs proof. Attractive fuzzy surfaces and effects throughout, but in terms of performance it’s rather a subdued outing from the duo, where percussive objects are brushed endlessly around with circular arm movements as though they were making a chocolate cake mix without the aid of an electric whisk.Įd Pinsent – The Sound Projector, February 2011 It’s a duo with Italian percussionist Andrea Belfi, and Schick contributes bowed objects, a turntable, and a “looper pitcher” to the improvising picnic. Very nice to see an old favourite Ignaz Schick turning up in such well-designed livery on his own label The Myth of Persistence of Vision Revisited (ZAREK 15) is one of the most handsome geometric covers we’ve seen here for a while, with a title straight from the pages of Jorge Luis Borges (or rather perhaps a literary critic writing about Borges).
