THE ARTFARMER
Clay Ketter - drums
Anders Lindsjö - electric bass
Mats Gustafsson - baritone, tenor saxophone
Swedish artist Clay Ketter has found the same patterns in houses, buildings, and traces in cities as did the artists of l´art concret invent. This is extraordinary coming from two very different points of view. One being the pursuit of another society the other being the traces of the society; of modernism so to say. Ketter´s art is in a way childish, looking with wide open eyes at what he sees. Where the modernist artist yearned for change or stunned in admiration Ketter must have discovered a kind of rhythmic pulse; usable for music as well as pictures.
He is a drummer, all right. You can hear him on this 12” vinyl together with bassplayer Anders Lindsjö and reedman Mats Gustafsson upon the opening of his solo exhibition in the Museum of Modern Art in Stockholm, May 2009.
This edition has been designed and formed by Ketter. The cover is not really a cover, it is a print. He is playing with signs of time, season and places. It gives you a sensation of longing although you know you just long for a time and not a place. Could it be he is thinking of his own American background? The same goes for the beautiful vinyl itself with music only on one side and etched art on the other.
Yes, I think the music tells us this session was a dream. The beat is strong and persistent, almost shamanistic, and the sound is cooking as it did during the heydays of free jazz back in New York City… The magic really is its congenial strength so far away from the city and its free jazz times. They are just in Uppåkra, Sweden, but seem to have forgotten this obvious fact for a dream. The one you get a hint of just by looking at the record.
