about

Las du futur, deux batteurs se rencontrent et se demandent l’un à l’autre: qu’y a t-il à faire quand il n’y a que deux batteurs? Être vulgaires, fut la réponse. Ils ont mis en commun quelques idées vagues et quelques idées fixes. Dans un esprit amateur, ils ont additionné la somme de leurs échecs respectifs. Cette rencontre est le résultat audible d’un surmenage; il s’en dégage une grâce maussade, une élégie sur la destruction des choses. Bref, ce CD contient les sons d’une multitude d’objets frappés ou frottés.
::
"As more of a rhetorical, sarcastic ribbing than an actual query, Michel F Côté and Isaiah Ceccarelli write, “What can we do when we’re just two drummers?” Indeed how does a percussion duo entertain an audience for forty-six minutes without a visual aid, balancing all the elements of music into a satisfying listener experience? Côté and Ceccarelli capably do so with a contingent of boundless creativity, astonishing sounds, impeccable performances (both men are accomplished composers and performers who have been around many a Montréal block) and knowing when enough is just enough (the average track length is under four minutes). Despite John Cage’s work in the 1940s and Edgard Varèse’s Ionisation (1930), the idea of “percussionist as band” is still often treated as a novelty — and, due to the excessive contraptions, toys and otherwise cacophonous instruments employed in most of the repertoire, this is often a fair label. But what happens when this equipment falls into the right hands? The answer is Vulgarités, an album that eschews the word “gimmicky” in favor of “virtuosity”." - Dave Madden, The Squid's Ear

"With a great sense for detail Côté and Ceccarelli deliver a very spirited improvised music. And without losing themselves in these details they are able to built captivating and surprising structures. Their pointillist style assures you hear something new after each listening." - Dolf Mulder, Vital
