Fred Frith - Ikue Mori

• DIGIPACK EDITION

In January 2015, Frith and Mori met in Germany to record the music for a radio play for Werner Penzel, the filmmaker and longtime friend of Fred Frith, for his film Zen for Nothing. After finishing their work, they used the free studio day to record their first duo album together. Influenced by the film music and inspired by the long friendship 15 pieces were created that are both wonderful sound sculptures and fascinating dialogues.

A Mountain Doesn't Know It's Tall. The title reflects the mood of this duo playful, poetic, mysterious and open.
