About This Release:
Ryuichi Sakamoto and Christian Fennesz blend the unstructured and imaginative qualities of improvisation with the satisfying sculpture of composition. Sakamoto's piano, his style reminiscent of Debussy and Satie, perfectly complements Fennesz with his powerful blend of shimmering guitar and passionate electronics.
Cendre was recorded between 2004 and 2006, Fennesz would send Sakamoto a guitar or electronic track and Sakamoto would compose his piano piece. Vice versa - Sakamoto initiating a track with a piano composition and Fennesz responding. Meanwhile they met for live shows, or communicated via digital means to compare notes, swap ideas and develop themes.. the cyclical process continued right up until they met up for the final mix in New York City February of 2006.
Together they have combined to create 11 tracks of satisfying and challenging possibilities...
Reviews for This Release:
"Cendre sounds ' even within it's stripped down sonic palette ' like the world is existing, living, breathing amidst its wordless sonic poetry." - Rich Hanscomb (Rant Magazine)
