Peter Schwarm. The precious unearthed recording 'Sushi. Roti. Reibekuchen' is finally being released on CD! An unknown, miraculous encounter is revived?a quarter of a century ago, on August 27, 1998, Brian Eno, Holger Czukay of CAN, and J. Peter Schwarm performed an improvisation live, which is now being released as the unearthed recording 'Sushi. Roti. Reibekuchen'. The 1990s were also a time when Brian Eno was approaching jazz as a \"new kind of music,\" which he called \"Unwelcome Jazz.\" The results of that work were compiled into the 1997 album \"The Drop\" under a different name, but the following year, 1998, he had a fateful encounter with music very similar to the jazz he had been approaching. That was \"Makrodelia\" (1998), the debut album of Slop Shop, a band project by J. Peter Schwalm. The two hit it off and began collaborating, completing the double album \"music for Onmyoji\" in 2000, with Reigakusha sharing the disc, and \"Drawn from Life\" in 2001, which featured numerous musicians including Holger Czukay of CAN?but there is actually a prequel to that. Apparently, the third time Eno and Schwalm met, shortly after they got to know each other, was during a rehearsal for the newly unearthed recordings. And there, in addition to Slop Shop's bassist Raul Walton and drummer Jeroen Attai, was Holger Czukay, a founding member and bassist of Can, whom Schwalm was meeting for the first time. Eno and Czukay had already collaborated on \"Cluster and Eno\" (1977) and \"After the Heat\" (1978), but in both cases, Czukay only participated on one track, and only as a guest bassist. However, in the session with Eno and Schwalm captured on the unearthed recordings, Czukay uses sampling\/collage with shortwave radio and tape, which he calls \"radio painting.\" In any case, it was the first time the three had performed live together. Moreover, the opportunity for all five members, including Walton and Attai, to perform together again never came after this. It can be called a miraculous encounter. At the time, it was rare for Brian Eno to perform live at all. However, the event that produced this unearthed recording, \"Sushi! Roti! Reibekuchen!\", was somewhat unusual. As the title suggests, the main focus was on the chefs. It was an outdoor event held as the opening party for Eno's installation exhibition at the Bonn Art Gallery in Germany, and it was literally a party, with chefs serving food to the many attendees. Amidst all this, a drone began to play on a stage, and five musicians performed improvisationally. According to Eno, the performers at this event were the chefs, and what they were creating was background music. In other words, it wasn't a musical performance, but a cooking performance with background music. It's a concept typical of Eno, but the music they played on stage captivated the ears of many in the audience. Eno and Schwalm create a minimalist, ambient\/drone sound, Holger Czukay adds color with his sampling and collages, and Raul Walton and J?rn Attay create a torrent of grooves that at times resemble human-powered drum and bass. The performance consisted of two sets, totaling three hours, and there's even an anecdote that the police cut the power and forcibly ended it at the end. The unearthed recordings, \"Sushi. Roti. Reibekuchen,\" contain five tracks extracted from that three-hour live performance. The live performance, conceived as background music accompanying a \"cooking performance,\" takes center stage once again by being recorded in this way. The sounds that emerge from this recording are not only a unique and authentic improvisation by Brian Eno, Holger Czukay, and J. Peter Schwalm, but also, more than just a valuable record, it remains incredibly interesting even a quarter of a century later in 2024 as a work that captures live performances of music akin to \"unwelcome jazz\" via ambient music. - Text by Narushi Hosoda BEAT RECORDS\/GROENLAND RECORDS [Tracklist] 01.
