Tanake is unexpected music, hearth lungs sweat (even brain but kept in a hidden place), is music mentally physic, is music physically mental, is twilight at dawn, bitter honey, fresh decomposition, joy in crying. tanake is music generated by her 3ree sweethearts…

In the early days [by the way: in the first album tsu.zu.ku] tanake meant to reach structure by means of improvisation, but time left the songwriter soul all alone, and tanake’s been surrounded by the never ending claustrophobic spaces of pure improvisation. melody and cacophony, the opposites stays togheter in a meeting of melodic dissonances proud of generating rarefied climaxes slackenly generating anxiety, instruments stroken to create sweet melodies, or sometimes fondled till they roar their pain… trembling, greedy of eardrum to beat and caress…

An evidence of this process is the new album “3ree”, released by nipa.prodz, Ebria Records and Fratto9 Under the Sky records and distributed in Italy by Jazz Today. Tanake has been played in many festivals, clubs, squats, cultural associations and art galleries with different artists like ulan bator (fr), kaffe matthews (uk), ovo, zu, sinistri, damo suzuki’s network, anatrofobia, giuseppe Ielasi, tasaday, vonneumann, tiziano tononi, uncode duello, with love, inferno and many others.

…Tanake is about something else. It is as trio: Martino Acciaro (drums, typewriter, noise), Maurizio Bosa (bass, Am Fm waves), Roberto Acciaro (guitar, trombone, Am Fm waves). In 11 tracks they try to visualize their version of free rock. Their music arises from endless improvisation I suppose. As they are experienced in this, they choose to record their CD live, using no overdubs. In several pieces they worked out there ideas satisfactory, like in ‘Dustin soup’. Other pieces however remain on an experimental level and fail to impress. Acciaro plays some great trombone in ‘Ingredienti per 3 persone’. And I would love to hear more of it. But in most tracks however we hear him on guitar. Throughout it is the drummer where most ideas come from. In a piece like ‘Utilita…’, they prove that also in introvert pieces they can built interesting structures. No doubt that I/O and Tanake are two interesting bands of good musicians, not convincing in all aspects, but I hope they will find more of a own voice. — Dolf Mulder
