Spire Live - Fundamentalis
is a double LP-only collection of exclusive live tracks recorded at various
Spire
events held throughout 2005 and 2006. Released in association with U.S. label, Autofact, Touch presents a selection of tracks performed by the main performers of
Spire
:
Fennesz
,
Philip Jeck
,
BJNilsen
,
Charles Matthews
and
Marcus Davidson
. Improvised pieces from Fennesz, BJNilsen and Philip Jeck contrast with a performance by Charles Matthews of a scored composition by Italian composer
Giacinto Scelsi
, "In Nomine Lucis," and Marcus Davidson's self-penned "Standing Wave," which ends side two with a locked groove. Cut to preserve and enhance the bottom end frequencies,
Fundamentalis
is not merely a document; the tension between and within the individual pieces is palpable. As the Touch label places it, Fennesz's set "
...evokes the rolling centuries in all their pain and beauty, leaving us at once becalmed and energized, but never oppressed under the weight of time
." Electronics breathe new life not only into the organ, but also into the setting. But a new technological successor does not mean replacement. Ultimately, it's the majestic sound of the organ, so steeped in centuries of tradition that one remembers above all else.
Spire
is one of the most innovative projects around, drawing on the full canon of organ works, from the very first annotation in the
Robertsbridge Codex
from the 14th century, to Max MSP patches and software sampling. With two CD releases and nine performances in cathedrals and churches throughout Europe,
Spire
remains a potent live force in harnessing the sounds of the ages. Art direction and design by
Jon Wozencroft
.
