About the Artist

Otomo Yoshihide has explored the nature of sound throughout his career. He formed the highly influential group Ground Zero in 1990. In recent years he has developed a passion for low-frequency minimalist electronic music and the results of this work can be heard on the Filament and I.S.O. projects. He is also a member of a quintet that plays jazz standards by composers such as Ornette Coleman, Gerry Mulligan, and Eric Dolphy as well as Otomo’s own compositions. He has also composed a number of film soundtracks and written essays and articles for Japanese music publications. Martin Tétreault, an internationally-renowned Montreal DJ and improviser, originally came from the milieu of the visual arts. His path has been marked out by various productions on compact disc and live performances with a range of collaborators: Diane Labrosse, René Lussier, Jean Derome, Michel F. Côté, I8U, Otomo Yoshihide, Kevin Drumm, Xavier Charles, Ikue Mori, and many more. He has abandoned the musical citation that he had been using in his work since he began in 1985 and now explores the intrinsic qualities of the turntable: the sound of the motor, of interference, and so on. He also uses needles, prepared surfaces (with thanks to John Cage), and small electronic instruments. The bruitiste approach of remaining analogical has allowed him to leave behind the question But what about royalties? and to get himself invited to electronic-music events! When he feels the need for a break from music, he goes back to the visual arts, where he sands, scrapes, cuts up books and magazines, and so on.

Product Description

In the spring of 2003, Martin Tétreault and Otomo Yoshihide toured part of Europe in a 15-date, 16-day marathon. Out of these improv concerts, six were captured on various media : cdr, dat and minidisc. The thought of preserving these moments came naturally to the ears of our two turntablists and was motivated by the renewed pleasure of playing together and of course by the quality of the music, which, night after night, explored new forms ranging from sonic economy to something much harsher. On this SECOND installment in a planned trilogy, they present the most fragmented on the very apt title 2. TOK
