Fidgeting and burrowing, digging and scraping. At once 7 Stücke reminded me somewhat of the work of jazz drummer Matt Wilson, but with a curious proclivity for not piecing things together after experimenting. And curiously going into finite corners does duo Tietchens and Mueller go. Cologne-based label Aufabwegen has pretty much been Tietchens home label - and on this 500 copy pressing I am proud to purify my live-work space with this latest playful and elemental endeavor. From hollow metallics and very tactile movements the formula here is as if they were taking found objects and transforming them into creatures. There is a level of anticipation
which is articulated in Mueller's prepared’ drum kit. The silences are weighty here as we are purely indulged by the awkwardness of improvised and unexpected happenstance. There are unexpected distances, play with fore and background and muffled, muted dragging and manipulation of materials. The eighteen minute long untitled track five is the centerpiece of this hour long disc, giving proper way to atmosphere and layering it with austere stillness and timing.
To some degree these gentlemen are going where the conceptualists had gone and yet could not possibly have ever ended up. It is in the outcome, which is so patient, that makes a collaboration like this so powerful.
