It is music in which the subject merges into the environment, into the impressions conveyed by the landscape flying past the windows. A kinetic experience. (concert review Jazzfestival Saalfelden 2007) For a long time now, Bernd Friedmann and former Can drummer Jaki Liebezeit have been attempting to dissolve the boundaries between â•?liveâ•? and â•?electronicâ•?(...) The tracks run parallel, the shunting manoeuvres are fascinating in their combination of the regular with the irregular. (altstadtherbst Duesseldorf 2006) In the course of â•?Secret Rhythmsâ•?, therefore, there are any number of those â•?felicitous momentsâ•? (Burnt Friedman) in which the music â•?seems to be playing on its ownâ•?, where everything flows and fixed structures have become superfluous. The revolutionary and magic thing about this music is its concealed â•„ â•?secretâ•? â•„ rhythms never able to be wholly pinpointed and proving themselves to be the most efficient solvent when it comes to shaking up established rhythmic patterns. (Punkt Festival, Norway 2007) The way these three harmonize on stage does remain their own secret. Good vibes, maybe, thanks to their powers of active, respectful and non-judgemental listening. But their performance is one of astonishingly timeless elegance, and if the rows of chairs in the theatre hadnâ•?t been in the way then the music would have been eminently danceable, too.
