Press release from A Bruit Secret: mid-2001
Taku Sugimoto belongs to the new scene of improvised music in Tokyo, whose
particularity is to put forth the recent transformations of the sonic
phenomenon induced by electronics with its transversal instrumental
approach. He has built his technique on two kinds of traditions, Delta blues
and European free improvisation, without confining himself to either of
those traditions, looking for his own oblique ways, influenced by the music
of Morton Feldman and Giancinco Scelsi, moving within a very specific
approach of sound. The main peculiarity of his sound could be his very
strong relationship with silence and a fondness for weak sounds, the "almost
nothings". This third solo recording, which folows Myshkin for Electric
Guitar released on the Slub label and Oppposite on Hat Noir, reveals a
new development in his playing, closer to Derek Bailey's percussive style
and with a very radical work on the sustain. He has played in the last few
years with the most innovative improvisers of this scene: Keith Rowe, Kevin
Drumm, Annette Krebs, Toshimaru Nakamura, Günter Müller, Otomo Yoshihide and
Brett Larner.
