Commutator

by CZN

supported by

Thibaut Devigne A lot of percussions, a deep bass, some hints of electronics and little echo effects create intricate patterns in this release from two percussionists. The tracks are long and there evolution very smooth. This is not dub per se, but it definitively fits in that category of music that fans of Burnt Friedman will love. Favorite track: On An Asset Tip.

about

CZN stands for copper, zinc and nickel the raw path of materials used by percussionist and sculptor Joao Pais Filipe, composer and drummer Valentina Magaletti (from the great Tomaga) and producer Leon Marks. This is ritual music for the whole family.

"Next level, ritualistic percussion jams from blessed percussionists João Pais Filipe and Valentina Magaletti, alongside producer Leon Marks. Two trance-invoking, long-form time melters that wouldn't be out of place in one of Offen Music boss Vladimir Ivkovic's notoriously heady mid-morning DJ sets. Fans of Nihiloxica, This Heat, Donato Dozzy, Beatrice Dillon or Muslimgauze don't wanna miss this one."

I just love João Pais Filipe relation to rhythm, there is no drumming like his drumming. I really appreciate the fact that he's the manufacturer of his sound, he works on his woods, he makes his cymbals, and I strongly believe that gives a completely new form to the music he makes. Joao Sousa

I've spun this endlessly since it arrived. Brilliant musicianship that creates a magical sound. I can't recommend this enough to fans of this band or anyone for that matter. It transcends the basic boundaries what we know as genre whether it be Psychedelic/Acid Jazz/Stoner/Jam etc. Vinyl Purchased 12/19/19 Received 01/09/2020 The Midnight Toker.
