• Roedelius & Arnold Kasar •
Five years after their first and critically-acclaimed collaborative work in the form of their full-length album “Einfluss” (Deutsche Grammophon), Roedelius & Arnold Kasar now release their second album “Zensibility” on the Berlin-based label 7K!. This new work encompasses eight collaboratively composed instrumental tracks, eight modern call-and-response pieces where Roedelius plays the grand piano while Arnold Kasar contributes the electronic elements.
Call-and-response: the eight pieces evolved over a period of three days in 30 short studio sessions just before the first lockdown in 2020. During these intimate sessions, where the duo would dedicate itself to one track per session, they – above all – listened to each other play. Often it would be Hans-Joachim Roedelius who would begin, or, “speak” with his aphoristic piano miniatures, to which Arnold Kasar would then “respond” with utmost reduced, minimalistic counter melodies made from sensitively balanced, electronic soundscapes.
It is important to first explain this method since it is the key to a small wonder. Two musicians without any need to proof anything to anyone anymore, but who - throughout their careers – were confronted with expectations of delivering avant-garde or groundbreaking compositions, consciously decided to put their ego behind for the recording of “Zensibility”, in order to first listen to each others playing to only then add what was missing musically.
The leitmotif running through the entire album, possibly attributable to Roedelius' advanced age, is an unagitated, meditative basic calm.
“Zensibility” has evolved into an incredibly personal, emotional and, most importantly, respectful album, in the sense that two two gifted musicians complement each other congenially instead of playing spectacularly past each other.
