koncert MANUFACTUR (Švica)
V soboto, 28.3. se v KUD France Prešeren po nekajletni odsotnosti z naših koncertnih odrov vraèa odlièen švicarski acid/jazz kolektiv MANUFACTUR. Nazadnje nas je s svojo sintezo jazza in elektronike oèaral na Trnfestu leta 2004, v tem obdobju pa je zasedba svojo diskografijo obogatila še z dvema izjemnima albumoma Rong Dob in Flambitres, izdanima pri nemški založbi Rent a Dog.
Èe imate skupino, ki jo je ustanovil in jo vodi trobentaè, ponavadi zveni natanko tako – trobenta v središèu, stranski instrumenti pa so njena inspiracija, medtem ko sama igra kot solist po svojih pravilih. Tako je naprimer obièajno v jazzu. Razen v primeru, ko trobentaè raziskuje druge poti ter prepušèa spremljajoèim instrumentom v skupini, da imajo enakovreden vpliv na glasbo kot on sam. V tem primeru se glasba lahko razvije v povsem nekaj drugega, kot je obièajno. Flambitres, èetrti album elektriènih jazzerjev Manufactur iz švicarskega Berna, poène ravno to. Werner Hasler je ime trobentaèa in vodilne sile skupine, Oli Kuster je glasbenik, ki je zamenjal elektroniko Patrica Lerjena iz prejšnjega albuma Rong Dob. Kuster je izkušeni glasbeni maèek, vešè vseh zvrsti od hip-hopa, synth popa do rocka in pristnega, avtentiènega akustiènega jazza. Je preprost raziskovalec, ki je taval naokrog z raèunalniki in elektroniko že od nekdaj, vendar je pri Manufactur izbral preprostejšo postavo »Wurlitzer« in »Nordlead« sintesajzerjev. Bobnar Dominik Burkhalter in basist Urban Lienert v kvartetu ves èas bodisi sodelujeta ali pa igrata drug proti drugemu, medtem pa se nenehno stikata nekje med rockom in gruvajoèimi momenti. Moèna prisotnost elektronskega zvoka daje ob vsem tem glasbi Manufactur tem bolj prijeten èar, ki ga izravnava Halser na svoji zasanjani »Miles Davis« trobenti.
Manufactur svojo nekonvencionalno glasbeno sintezo spajajo na nadvse eleganten naèin z že znano švicarsko natanènostjo, pri èemer ustvarjajo samosvoj sanjav svet, v katerem se stikajo tako jazz, elektronski biti ter drugi urbani ritmi. »Tord Gustavson Trio meets Laurent Garnier« ali »Autechre meets “Sketches of Spain” by Miles Davis«?

Iz tujega tiska:
[...] In short: manufactur sound as if Miles Davis had recorded the soundtrack to Stanley Kubrick’s "2001". [...]>>Josef Engels Rondo .September 3rd 2005
[...] Eight years of continuous collaboration have led to a sound that is unique in Switzerland. This makes “rong dob” a potential favourite record. [...] >>Ulrich Steinmetzger Jazzpodium September 2005
[...] percussion and bass play with and against one another, somewhere between rock and a constantly grooving flow, and the strong electronic presence gives manufactur fragmented charm, counterbalanced by Hasler’s cool trumpet sound. [...] The bubbling and crackling mixing is highly enjoyable, but contains enough enigmas to stop you tiring of it quickly. [...]>>Rolf Thomas Jazzthing September/October 2005
[...] Living in Germany, I associate manufacturing with the sale of high quality products at high prices. If the twin concepts of production and Switzerland are united, it has to increase the value of the whole, since Switzerland and its merchandise have an irresistible appeal. manufactur fare very well, since their Electro-Space-Dub-Ambient-Lounge-Fusion mix includes a great deal of crankiness, humour and technical craftsmanship.
[...]>>Angela Ballhorn Jazzthetik October 2005
manufactur is performing since 1998. During these past years manufactur has seen different bandmembers.
