Slow-floating improvised acoustic drone rich in details performed live by the masterly duo Labfield and guests St?le Storlokken (Supersilent), Mariam Wallentin (Wildbirds & Peacedrums) and Giuseppe Ielasi. The two powerfull tracks that makes up Labfield's second album was recorded at Kongsberg Jazz Festival and at Musikkh?gskolan in Stockholm in 2008. Swedish guitarist Stacken?s and Norwegian percussionist Zach are well known names in the European improvisation scene. Ingar Zach, now based in Spain, has been a key figure in Norwegian improvised music for the last ten years. Together with guitar player Ivar Grydeland he founded the prolific improvised music label Sofa. Zach has played with Derek Bailey, Jon Balke's Magnetic North Orchestra, Huntsville and Sidsel Endresen among others. Stacken?s is one of Swedens most merited guitarists with an impressive body of work behind him. Stacken?s and Zach previously worked together in the now defunct three-piece TRI DIM, together with saxophonist H?kon Kornstad. Stacken?s and Zach decided to work on as a duo, but now with a radically different musical agenda. The musicians themselves describe Labfield as a musical laboratory. David Stacken?s - acoustic guitars, preparations and low budget electronics. Ingar Zach - prepared bass drum, gongs, percussion, sruti boxes and drone commander. Guests: St?le Storlokken -, Mariam Wallentin - and Giuseppe Ielasi
