PRESS RELEASE
Improvisation was once the privilege of multiple decades of classic instrumentalists. With the introduction of a wider range of electronic devices such as synthesizers, samplers and mini disks a new generation of artists has taken over the improvisation scene. Offering more diversity and sometimes depth than classic improvisation could provide, this new generation of electronic improvisers changed forever the face of non-written, non-composed music. Named after Fredric Brown’s seminal sci-fi novel, Martiens Go Home! (MGH!) has nothing to envy classic improvisation. Not missing a single week since they started their radio show many years ago on Radio Campus (Brussels, Belgium) the trio has always played with the contingency of live experience. With the live sequencing of found sounds and various samples they developed their own approach to electronic music. Far from any rigid and binary compositions, their sound is organic and complex.
On "Une occasion de chute" MGH! collected many improvisations they did with numerous like-minded artists from Brussels such as Frank Pay, Szkieve, Moonsanto, Ultraphonist and TMRX. MGH! and their side-projects have already pleased listeners from respected labels such as Staalplaat and Sub Rosa. This CD is a collaboration release between Hushush and MGH’s own imprint, Kalinka Vichy.
ARTIST'S NOTES
Martiens Go Home! (MGH) a collective from Brussels is active for many years. Their concept is simple, each thursday night they are playing live on radio with sounds they gathered during the week. This is a one hour experimental improvisation effort. Every once in a while they invite some of their friends. Une occasion de chute is a collection of collaborative moments as well as "solo" tracks by MGH.
Szkieve was invited to play twice with the trio while attending ULB (Université libre de Bruxelles - Brussels' Free University) in 1999 - 2000. The first was a great experience but wasn't as good as the second one. Szkieve's collaboration track on this release is a snippet from the whole hour radio show. The disc has been released by both MGH's imprint Kalinka Vichy and Szkieve's Hushush.
