RAED YASSIN
Phantom Orchestra
Boomkat Product Review:
In an ambitious exposition of his omnivorous musical weltanschauung, Beirut’s Raed Yassin commands an Arkestra-like, 42-piece ensemble spanning Berlin’s avant-garde and his worldly experimental contemporaries, including members of The Necks,, Judith Hamann, Lucio Capece, Jules Reidy, Axel Dörner, et al, judiciously edited by the artist with Rabih Beaini
Deftly distilled from more than 1000 minutes of recordings, ‘Phantom Orchestra’ represents a vibrant flux of psychedelic quintessence buzzing with microtonal intricacies and timeless out limits lust. Under the aegis of cultural polymath Raed Yassin, the 80 minute, 7-part movement rescues a sense of solidarity and shared pathos from the atomisation imposed by the 2020 lockdown into 2021, and parallels as a showcase of the possibilities fostered by Rabih Beaini and his esteemed Morphine Raum in Berlin, and the finely calibrated vision that ties their many strands of interest into a whole.
Thanks to the cool hands and heads of Yassin and fellow Lebanese-rooted artist Beaini, the project parses a mutual sense of logic within its complexity of ideas and communal bloodletting of emotions. In run times of between 8’ and ’18’, the parts expand and contract from darkly sublime, modal jazz-folk noir tension induced on an opening part that somewhat resembles Rashad Becker solo works, thru the 2nd movement’s roil of expansive kosmiche folk, and what could almost be Can meets Sun Ra on the 18’, head and body-spinning 3rd part, to explore mazier avant-classical in the 4th, and ultimately come to terms with all that pent up energy and creativity in the blissed ambient jazz states of their parting piece.
From any angle ‘Phantom Orchestra’ is an impressive and even triumphant assertion of what has driven Yassin & Beaini thus far since the early 2000s, and ideally characterises the increasingly esoteric approach of Beaini’s Morphine Records in its 20th year of operations; a tenure that has placed it on various maps - from house and techno to experimental improvisation - and made it an ongoing concern for anyone with keen, open ears and mind.
