Arcanum by ANDREAS SCHAERER - LUCAS NIGGLI
Intakt CD 232
Just vocals and drums – that’s the line-up of the dream team of Andreas Schaerer and Lucas Niggli. Outstanding virtuosity and enormous creativity combined with the intuition of sleepwalkers, produces an astonishing sound universe full of surprises.
The imagination and ability of the two musicians to communicate and react is key to their free improvisations, which nevertheless are very precise.
The album was recorded in the legendary “Loft” club in Cologne and is a mixture of live and studio recordings. The result is music played on the first instruments of mankind – voice and drum – which is opulent and impulsive, direct and delicate.
