about

Amine Mesnaoui and Ignaz Schick met in Berlin around 2010/2011 and heard each others music when they both frequently performed with their individual projects at the at the time thriving Altes Finanzamt venue in Neukölln. Even though both of them have a total different cultural background they both share a mutual passion for Gnawa music and a certain type of melodic/mystic Free Jazz that we all know from such greats as Don Cherry, Abdullah Ibrahim or Pharoah Sanders. Schick had travelled Morocco around 2008 researching and looking for the source of these magic Sufi brotherhoods who were not easy to find and connect with. He was more than excited to have right in front of his door a young African musician who not only knows this tradition by heart but who at the same time was willing to experiment and confront his findings with Schick’s own rather abstract and electro-acoustic display of sounds. They performed a series of well received concerts at Berlin venues like Altes Finanzamt and Naherholung before they finally set-up their instruments for a three day recording session in Moabit’s Vivaldisaal. The resulting music is a fine blend: Mesnaoui is translating his ancestral Gnawa rhythms to the Rhodes, while Schick is building fine electro-acoustic/noisy drones and adds loose AACM-like celestial gong and flute passages which at some moments pay tribute to some of their both all-time heroes (Codona, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Paul Bley, Morton Feldman or Mahmoud Gania). But in their unique music these hints and sources are not on the obvious, both Mesnaoui & Schick manage to transform the essence of those influences into their own unique sound world. Again with ZORA09 we have a selection of music that non of the more established labels at the time wanted to touch. Too weird, too raw, too honest, too fragile and too much risk there is taken in this musical world the two artists are creating here.

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego

There's a lovely subtlety at play here, where I can't tell what's looping and what's not. Despite the titles not offering much in the way of explanation, I think there's humor, nostalgia, and great care in this collection. Ned Milligan
