AMM Industria
John Tilbury and Eddie Prevost performing unamplified in a converted Portuguese factory in 2015,
held together by an intense unintentionality, in which the horizon of consciousness is reduced to
milliseconds [for us and for them both]. AMM, in its more recent incarnations does this a lot. It’s not
just the sounds you hear (some of which have musical connotations) but the room, the tentative
silence, the public holding its collective breath, the restraint of the players tightrope-walking a state
of suspension through a procession of moments that erase themselves in a dream haunted by the
possibility of one wrong action, one momentary lapse of immersion. I’ve never heard anyone else
quite manage it that way. It’s a gift. Then it’s over and what actually happened? The accompanying
booklet offers four written reactions, and John Tilbury’s is, like the music itself, pellucid, gripping,
remarkable and honest.
