This latest recording from Kuhl Goyim Chien comes almost immediately after the epic ‘Meditations’. Although the new work cannot rival the previous in length -meditations was over 60 minutes long- it does press on in the spirit of evolution or perhaps complete reinvention which has becoming characteristic of Kuhl’s writing. This latest is a spontaneous ‘street improvisation’. It was recorded while Sweeney and Lowe were protesting against the popularisation of the guitar as a child’s instrument which any fool can play. During a two week holiday where it was quoted that ‘to come you must bring a guitar and know no more than 3 chords’ Sweeney and Lowe burnt their guitars in a move not unlike the burning of one’s books and moved onto other percussive forms. This improvisation started with The two sitting down at a busy spot between two cafes with the merging music from both forming a hazy pedal behind the croaking of frog woodblocks. Before long they had started playing all the elements around them like the chairs they were sitting on, the walls of the cafes and a metal shed near them. After about 10 minutes a group of singers joined in and formed a backing for the percussive sounds created. This polyphony continued for about 5 minutes before the first stage began to draw to close. The first section finishes with the words, ‘and that is music’. Uttered by a member of the vast crowds that had formed while they were playing. The second part of the improvisation was a more complex affair than a simple improvisation based in a small section. Sweeney and Lowe began to walk around, emotionless and soaking in all the music they could hear accompanied everywhere by the drone of the frogs. They walked around collecting sounds, voices and played anything that they could with a few impromptu additions by the gentiles they passed. Everywhere they walked a strange peace overtook the surrounding area. The frogs were their voices. The whole episode was captured by Kirkman who took a silent role behind the mixing desk. This marks a new stage for Kuhl Goyim Chien as the first recording to not use live guitars and is entirely a percussion work which promotes the principals that everything can be used to create music.
