Search - Bill Laswell, Toshinori Kondo, Eraldo Bernocchi :: Charged Live

Weaponizing bass lines, shifting the timing of energies, moving backwords heading toward nonsense. The low end materializes itself in spirals while the attraction of grooves empties the bowels of ecstasy. The disease of dynamics opposed to walls of sounds. A modern temple to harmony travelers. Ranging from dub to funk, from free jazz to ambient, Charged has been travelling across borders, manipulating perception and physical boundaries. Led by acclaimed Italian composer/producer Eraldo Bernocchi (Sigillum S, Mick Harris, Francesca Lago, Jungle Brothers), Charged Live captures performances in Japan, Germany, and Holland with an ensemble consisting of bassist Bill Laswell (Herbie Hancock, Pharoah Sanders, Tony Williams, Peter Gabriel), electric trumpet player Toshinori Kondo (DJ Krush, United Future Organization, William Parker), drummer Hamid Drake (Peter Brotzmann, Ken Vandermark), percussionist Aiyb Dieng (Sly Dunbar, Herbie Hancock, Bootsy Collins), and turntablist DJ Disk (Rock Steady Crew, Primus).
