Global Guaranty Orchestra: Weltmeister.(Review)
Compact disc, 1998, NWM017CD; available from Ninth World Music, Humlebaekvej 56, DK-3480 Fredensborg, Denmark; telephone (+45) 49-19-20-30; fax (+45) 49-19-20-13; electronic mail renee@city.dk; World Wide Web www.vow.dk/ninthworldmusic/ discography.htm
Global Guaranty Orchestra, based in Denmark, consists of Henning Frimann on multiple instruments including homemade strings, and P. O. Jorgens on multiple (including homemade) instruments, synthesizer, and programming.
A Northern Wedding starts abruptly with a percussion loop, filtered chords (perhaps woodwinds), tinkling, and sheets of high feedback. The chords alternate in a repetitive progression over the percussion loop, with slight variations. A highly filtered soprano saxophone and some vocals peek in here and there. The melodic instruments are tuned to acidic intervals. The music is aggressively simple and straightforward: jamming on a loop. There is neither introduction nor coda. This structure is used with only minor variations throughout the disc.
The Dwarfs from La-La Land has a similar tempo and percussion loop, only with cymbals, oud, banjo, and clarinet. The track trails off into miscellaneous percussion, then picks up the original percussion loop again, with steel drums accompanying processed woodwinds.
Music for Sky Dancers has the to-this-point ubiquitous percussion loop plus an analog synthesizer bass line. It also has somewhat more variety from bar to bar, including manic drum machine fills. From time to time the percussion loop takes a break for drum machine fills and sustained tones from the other instruments.
Grande Tourismo begins with a faster beat and vibraphone, joined by accordion and an oud, or perhaps a homemade bass. This track is much more melodic, somewhat reminiscent of Brian Eno's Another Green World. Farfisa and accordion join the vibraphone. This piece has a pleasant progression from section to section, no two bars having quite the same riffs or instrumentation, yet always going back to the original theme.
Papa Re Ba's Party is mostly percussion to start, with vocalise followed by marimba and brass squawks.
