Quick Overview

2001 (Irmin Schmidt & Kumo). Aptly titled, "Masters Of Confusion" is the first recorded fruit of the collaboration between Irmin Schmidt, founder member of the legendary German avant garde rock group Can, and Kumo, the artist name of drum programmer, sound engineer and producer Jono Podmore. For this album Kumo spontaneously constructs, collapses and reshuffles towercards of rhythms sprayed with pointillist beats, over, under and between which Irmin's grand piano and keyboards dance with the poise of a Nuevo Tango player, the reflex of a gymnast and the wit of a joker on the run. Quite naturally the music carries traces of their combined experiences, which range over raging rock and incantatory trance improvisations, contemporary composition, Techno and drum 'n' bass. But fully aware of the failure of the Fusion con of mid 70s jazz-rock, these two Masters of Confusion characteristically create running dialogues between the different components they bring into play. The most immediately noticeable contrast is that between the very specific cultural/classical resonances of Irmin's grand piano - his main instrument, which went untouched through all his years with Can - and Kumo's dancehall-trained electronic circuit rhythms.
