Over a mammoth nine hour recording session a new look Kuhl Goyim Chien, feature founder Gordon Sweeney, previous collaborator Chris Lowe and veteran Adam Kirkman recorded the longest work Kuhl have ever attempted. Lowe is becoming a fixture in the Kuhl Goyim Chien line-up and many people are beginning to realise that when him and Sweeney record together there are no limits to the array of sounds they can make.
This is Kirkman’s first recording with Kuhl. He is leant to Kuhl by his band, dismissed For 210, where he is a master at playing records.
Kuhl Goyim Chien is another project mastered by Gordon Sweeney. In many ways it has taken over his initial project Pacifist Riot in terms of musicality, expressionism and experimentalism. The emphasis has been taken away from ‘song based music’ and brought more into improvisations and the sounds of ones soul and mind. Many people have suggested that when listening to Kuhl Goyim Chien they do not hear one man’s conscious effort to make music rather one man’s subconscious taking over his body and mind.
