Didi Kern & Philipp Quehenberger - Linz - LP

LINZ is a live concert recording featuring the ferociously dynamic Austrian duo Didi Kern & Philipp Quehenberger. Active as a duo since their first concert at CBGBs in 2002 this celebrates their 15 year anniversary.

PRESS TEXT:
We’re passing through an era when synthesizers have seeped into damn near every corner of avant-garde music, and yet the technology these days is too seldom used in the service of free improvisation. Oh sure, we’re treated to plenty of experimental techno, ambient drone, industrial and even underground rock all swimming in synth-based textures, atmosphere, programming and other compositional elements. But for those of us whose ears are tuned to the outer limits of jazz and noise, just about the only athletic bruisers willing to step to the plate on a consistent basis have been the veteran duo of drummer Didi Kern and keyboardist Philip Quehenberger. And to remind of us of their long-running exceptionality, the prolific Austrians are dropping LINZ, a ruthlessly sweaty live album meant as a celebration of the tandem’s 15-year relationship.
