Buttercup Metal Polish Japan Tour 2007
2006年に別々のプロジェクト(“The Same Girl” / “Gekko”)で来日しスイスのパーカッショ二ストの二コラ・フィールド(Nicolas Field)とアレクサンドル・バベル(Alexandre Babel)は今年も7月、8月にバターカップ・メタル・ポリシュ(Buttercup Metal Polish)というドラム・デュオで全国ツアーを行います。
A pair of nomadic drummers with loose ties to the Swiss city of Geneva and further bases in Amsterdam and Berlin, Nicolas Field and Alexandre Babel are the two halves of percussive pair-up Buttercup Metal Polish.
Under that moniker, Field and Babel set out for structured and semi-structured improvisations that yield to none of the canonized idioms of the avant-garde, bundling raw energy with purposeful virtuosity. The duo pulls no punches, whether it’s hitting the skins hard or scraping the eeriest of soundscapes from the bottom of its toolkit – as heard on their first album “50 Ballets”, released by the highly respected Creative Sources (www.creativesourcesrec.com) label.
Field and Babel have a long track record of collaboration in free music and noise (Maja Ratkje, Fe-mail, Jazzkammer, Keiji Haino, Phô, Peeesseye, K.K. Null, Fuckhead, Axel Dörner, Damo Suzuki, and many more) as well as in structured ensemble work (Berliner Ensemble, International Percussion Center). Both visited Super Deluxe in 2006 with different projects, improv-noise duo The Same Girl http://www.soundimplant.com/same_girl/index.html (Field) and experimental jazz outfit Gekko http://www.myspace.com/gekkoswitzerland (Babel).
Buttercup Metal Polish’s 2007 Japan Tour brings the two back to the archipelago for a series off-the-cuff juxtapositions and interpolations with fellow free spirits - don't miss any of these!
