Barbara Morgenstern + Robert Lippok: TESRI

Barbara Morgenstern and Robert Lippok's beautiful Tesri album has its roots in a
2001 commission for Domino's Series 500 imprint, where they soundtracked the
moods of each of the seasons across twenty-one near perfect minutes. On Tesri,
which is an Arab-rooted Turkish word meaning to accelerate, the music feels partly
coloured by their separate visits to Istanbul. But this music is exotic and rich rather
than kitschly 'eastern-sounding', and is full of seasonal detail which runs from remote
sunsets, insect hum and dust, to a crisp, wintery stillness by the end of the album.

Over the course of the album Morgenstern and Lippok, each Berlin residents, allow
each other space and time to leave their own distinctive imprints and trails all over
the place, setting up themes and adding to ideas, and flowing into each other.
Lippok is of course, more usually at the core of To Rococo Rot, whose morse code
repetitions and melodic inventiveness he brings across to this project, jamming up
with Barbara's energy and cut and odd pop musicality. It's an understood music, this,
through touring and collaboration, and into the sound mesh other musicians bring
their own distinctive styles; vocalists, Damon Aaron from Telefon Tel Aviv (solo album
coming soon on Plug Research), with a gorgeous almost Robert Wyattesque vocal on
If The Day Remains Unspoken For, and a real find, London-based Japanese
musician, Mieko Shimozo on Kaitusburu and Otuskimi. Ronald Lippok and Bernd
Jestram inevitably contribute; drums on Winter, and guitar on Gammelpop
respectively, Jestram also engineering most of the project.

Recorded in Berlin between 2002 and 2004, Tesri features piano, guitar,
micromodular, flute, drums, software synths, computer. It has a certain sound we
associate with these musicians, both in their own solo work or in group projects, but
Tesri is its own dot on the map, its own light lighting up, and it not only complements
these other musics, it's its own magical listen.
