RANTA/TAKEHISA KOSUGI, MICHAEL - Multiple Musics

"Previously unreleased live recording from the Ranta archives. The creative duo of Michael Ranta and Takehisa Kosugiperformed many times in the 1970s and 1980s. In this outstanding performance, recorded at the Japanese Culture Institute in Cologne in 1987, the application of an advanced multi delay system, independently utilized by both players, plays a central role. The smartly treated cyclic tapestry of the delay system (modulated, transformed, harmonized) injects additional dimensions to the highly coordinated improvisation with voice, percussion, violin and electronics, creating interactive "composition-like" textures being Multiple Musics."
