Description
What Phil Minton creates with nothing but his voice – those "simply unbelievable and uncanny sounds for which nothing comparable exists, far and wide" (Bert Noglik) – seems to lie beyond what it is possible. He is the indisputable vocal giant of the jazz avant-garde.
He meets a collective of kindred spirits with the ICI Ensemble. Comprising some of the most enthusiastically experimental instrumentalists and sonic artists of the German improvisation scene, this ensemble has been creating a unique sonic cosmos for almost 20 years that has already inspired numerous international composers and improvisators to collaborate with them.
Phil Minton and the musicians of the ICI Ensemble spin here a refined chamber musical texture and seem to whisper words of the late Beckett: "Say Yes." – until someone else relativizes: "Till No." And then nothing is any longer as it was before.
