Mute are pleased to announce the release of Irmin Schmidt's Nocturne (live at Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival). The LP is pressed on white vinyl, is limited to 1,000 numbered copies worldwide, has an etching on side D, and includes a high definition audio download.
Nocturne (live at Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival) was recorded at the legendary founder of Can's first UK solo piano concert. It is comprised of three pieces performed live on a partly prepared piano, along additional pre-recorded soundscapes. It includes two brand new compositions, "Nocturne" and "Yonder", along with a live version of "Klavierstück II", from his recent studio album 5 Klavierstücke.
The live performance of "Klavierstück II" is a pensive improvisation using essential elements of the original piece. "Nocturne" starts with the ambient sounds whilst the piano seemingly melts into the soundscape and eventually grows into a long meditative piano solo. "Yonder" is a much more dramatic piece, dominated by the overwhelming sounds of church bells, a sort of "dies irai", radical, emotional and fiercely poetic.
