about

The International Nothing is the duo project of Berlin-based clarinetists Kai Fagaschinski and Michael Thieke. While both musicians are improvisers, in The International Nothing they play their own compositions and focus on bringing out the clarinet's soft, warm tones to the fullest. In their spacious yet tension-filled playing, the interweaving of the two clarinets creates a delicate inter-reverberation and fluctuation. The result is a breathtakingly beautiful sound.

In their 2006 debut album, "Mainstream" (also on Ftarri), the duo played with guest musicians on several tracks. On "Less Action, Less Excitement, Less Everything," all 5 tracks are by The International Nothing alone. All compositions by Kai Fagaschinski and Michael Thieke, 2006-2009. Recorded in March 2009.

インターナショナル・ナッシング (The International Nothing) は、ドイツ、ベルリンを拠点に活動するクラリネット奏者のふたり、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。ふたりは共に即興演奏家ではあるが、インターナショナル・ナッシングにおいては、すべてふたりで作曲・演奏し、クラリネット独特の柔らかで暖かみある音色の "響き" に徹頭徹尾こだわっている。ゆったりと、しかし緊張感みなぎる演奏は、クラリネット2本の絡みを通して音の微妙な響き合いや揺らぎを醸し出し、その美しさに圧倒されること間違いなし!

2006年にやはりFtarri からリリースされたデビュー・アルバム『Mainstream』には数曲でゲスト・ミュージシャンが参加していたのとは対照的に、本作は5曲すべてクラリネット・デュオによる演奏で、本作にかける彼らの意気込みが感じられる。
