| Improbable Transgressions
| 2cd | sirr 0028

featuring:  Stephan Mathieu, Convolution Brothers, Chris Brown, Ivan
Franco, Brandon Labelle,João Pedro Oliveira, André Sier, Cristian
Vogel, Ralf Wehowsky


"Improbable Transgressions" is a double cd presenting a unique
proposal of the internationally acclaimed classical and
contemporary percussionist Pedro Carneiro. For his debut recording
on Sirr, Pedro improvised nine solo five-octave marimba pieces,
each one dedicated to a specific sound artist - and each one of
these "tokens" were then sent to their particular dedicatee, with a
short humurous note: «please hack me».

Disc "solo marimba improvisations" contains 9 solo for marimba
recorded live, with no edits or overdubs. Each Improvisation is an
open invitation to that particular artist to explore different
modus operandi of their own idiom, using the sonic scope of the
improvisation as the sole raw material for their digital audio "hack".

Disc "transgressions" contains 9 hacks/interpretations from artists
across a diverse field of musical genres: Convolution Brothers,
Chris Brown, Ivan Franco, Brandon Labelle, Stephan Mathieu João
Pedro Oliveira, André Sier, Cristian Vogel, Ralf Wehowsky - this
disc present the final reworking of their respective solo
improvisations.

With an 8 page booklet full of liner notes, «Improbable
Transgressions» is an exciting double album, featuring
collaborative work involving an explosive mix of creative artists
working in the field of digital audio processing and experimental
music.
