After a four-year interval, The International Nothing has come out with a new album! The International Nothing is the duo project of Berlin-based clarinetists Kai Fagaschinski and Michal Thieke. Both musicians are well known as improvisers, but in this project they perform their own compositions. The International Nothing's previous releases, all on the Ftarri label, are the debut album "Mainstream" (2006); "Less Action, Less Excitement, Less Everything" (2010); and "The Dark Side of Success" (2014). "The Power of Negative Thinking," an "extra edition" in which Fagaschinski and Thieke performed with a bassist and drummer under the name "The International Nothing (... and something)," was released in 2016 on the Polish label Monotype Records. "In Doubt We Trust," a return to the duo format, is the fourth album under the project name The International Nothing. Each of the three earlier releases consisted of several tracks, but this album is made up of a single work of 37 min. 37 sec. As in the earlier albums, the distinctive warm, round tones of the clarinet slowly and quietly interweave and inter-resonate. And in this recording, the unique sonic beauty and feeling of tension that could be called the "International Nothing sound" is superbly organized within the extended length of 37-plus minutes. Even more compelling than their previous releases, "In Doubt We Trust" is The International Nothing's new masterpiece!
インターナショナル・ナッシング (The International Nothing) は、ドイツ、ベルリン在住のふたりのクラリネット奏者、カイ・ファガシンスキー (Kai Fagaschinski) とミヒャエル・ティーケ (Michael Thieke) のデュオ・プロジェクト。ふたりとも即興演奏家として知られるが、インターナショナル・ナッシングでは自ら作った曲を演奏することを常としている。2006年にデビュー・アルバム『Mainstream』、2010年に第二作『Less Action, Less Excitement, Less Everything』、2014年に第三作『The Dark Side of Success』を Ftarri レーベルよりリリース。コントラバスとドラムスを加えた四人組 The International Nothing (... and something) 名義のアルバム『The Power of Negative Thinking』をポーランドの Monotype Records より2016年にリリースしたが、これはいわば番外編。再びデュオに戻り、The International Nothing 名義では2014年以来の第四作となる『In Doubt We Trust』は、いずれも複数曲を収録した過去の3作とは違い、37分37秒の1曲のみを収録。これまでの作品同様、クラリネット特有のまろやかで暖かみある音色が、静かにゆっくりと絡み合い、響き合う。そのうえ本作においては、「インターナショナル・ナッシング・サウンド」とも言うべき独特の音の美しさと緊張感を、37分を超える長時間のフレームに絶妙に収める構成の巧みさも披露。さらに魅力を高めた、インターナショナル・ナッシングの新たな傑作!!
