about

"Mainstream" is the debut album of The International Nothing--the duo project of Kai Fagaschinski and Michael Thieke, two Berlin-based clarinetists who are composers as well as improvisers. All eight of the tracks on this recording are composed works. In addition to five pieces focusing on the resonance of the mellow, limpid timbres produced by the two clarinets, there are a couple of tracks seasoned with songlike elements and vocalization by guest musicians, and one tune featuring two contrabass players. The album as a whole offers just the right amount of diversity and breadth. Guest musicians are Margareth Kammerer (voice, guitar - track 5), Christof Kurzmann (remix, voice - track 8), Derek Shirley (contrabass - track 7), and Christian Weber (contrabass - track 7).

ドイツ、ベルリンを拠点に活動する即興演奏家 / 作曲家である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) によるデュオ・プロジェクト、インターナショナル・ナッシングのデビュー・アルバム。収録８曲ともすべて作曲作品。２本のクラリネットが醸し出す柔らかで澄んだ音色の響きに焦点を当てたデュオによる５曲以外に、ゲスト・ミュージシャンのヴォイスが入って「歌」的要素を加味した２曲、また２本のコントラバスが参加した１曲が加わり、アルバム全体として適度な変化と幅も備えている。ゲスト・ミュージシャンはマーガレット・カメラー Margareth Kammerer (ヴォイス、ギター)、クリストフ・クルツマン Christof Kurzmann (リミックス、ヴォイス)、デレク・シャーリー Derek Shirley (コントラバス)、クリスチャン・ヴェーバー Christian Weber (コントラバス)。
