Ian Boddy: Markus Reuter: Nigel Mullaney

Triptych

The ninth DiN release sees the combined talents of DiN founder Ian Boddy, Warr Guitar loop exponent Markus Reuter and turntablist Nigel Mullaney combining forces for a one- off concert at the E-Live 2000 Festival in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.

Their concert performance was a unique combination of sound sources featuring Boddy's on stage use of a large analogue modular synth - used extensively to filter and mangle the drum loops of Mullaney, the beautiful real - time looping of Reuter's 8 - string Warr touch guitar and the weird and wonderful snatches of sound emanating from Mullaney's turntables.

" Boddy, Reuter and Mullaney offer a seamless blend of improvisation and composition in this latest disc taken from their appearance at the E-Live 2000 Festival in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. As you'd expect when three musicians of this calibre get together to perform on stage for the first time, there are moments of delicacy, robust experimentation and tangles of knotted rhythms with critical breaks and sequences which are guaranteed to have fans of electronic music salivating. Moving somewhere between the transient hinterlands of ambient and dance, Triptych blurs the edges in swathes of lambent sonics, as layer after layer of shifting timbre and harmony coalesce into a music which is expansive in its vision and yet knowingly intimate in its detail. Fans of Ian Boddy's distinctive use of atmospherics and colour will not be disappointed by this release and here he combines forces with Markus Reuter's heartfelt searing touch guitar and Nigel Mullany's innovative use of decks which has syntax and sound- pigments falling into forever ".
