Bill Bruford's Earthworks - Libreville (Paderborn, Germany, 16th May, 2005)

Can’t say I’ve been to Libreville, capital of Gabon, but the tune sounds bustling, joyous, and is dressed in the bright primary colours Africans typically favour, especially on market day. My beaters have rattles in the them. We in the antiseptic West spend a lot of time ‘cleansing’ from our instruments all the sorts of things - like rattles, buzzes, creaks and squeaks - that African drummers tell me are precisely the sort of things that make their instruments sound interesting to them, and that they spend an equal amount of time equipping their drums with. Like much of the Earthworks repertoire, this has drifted quite some way from the original 1989 recording on the album ‘Dig?’. The band’s music bent and changed over time in an unguided, organic fashion, in response to the demands of incoming players who probably didn’t play on the original and may well have never heard it. Acoustic piano and drums here, for a start. I liked that, and stayed away from the developing process. I thirsted for natural, organic change in any music I was associated with: it was too rigid an adherence to something called ‘best’ – the best (only?) way to play it, the best (only?) way to make it work – that I couldn’t get my head around. #billbruford #earthworks #drums #billbrufordsearthworks
