Album Notes and Credits

Notes & Personnel Info
Glenn Kotche's major-label debut, MOBILE, is a tour de force of percussive exploration. Kotche's imaginative journey begins with "Clapping Music Variations," his tribute to serial music composer Steve Reich, which uses Reich's original "Clapping Music" as a foundation for the drummer's own percussive improvisations, while "Monkey Chant" takes as its inspiration vintage recordings of Balinese singers, which Kotche interprets with different rhythmic and tonal voices. About as far away from a conventional drummer's solo album as it's possible to get, MOBILE is a coherently assembled and thought-provoking experience.

Professional Reviews
Uncut (p.114)
- 3 stars out of 5 -- "[The album's centrepiece] is a showcase for his range of tweaks, metal groans and rhythmic thunder."

The Wire (p.59)
- "CLAPPING MUSIC VARIATIONS introduces a technique that's central to MOBILE's rationale -- rests are transformed into notes, while rhythmic patterns have pitches assigned to them to create melodies."

Down Beat (p.85)
- 3 stars out of 5 -- "It's big brainy stuff, with lots of chops, too....The skill is something to admire. The ambition, as well."

Global Rhythm (Publication)
(p.46)
- "[I]t displays his interests in Indonesian and African rhythms, jazz, and even the minimalist classical compositions of Steve Reich....It's brilliant."

Mojo (Publisher)
(p.112)
- 3 stars out of 5 -- "[P]iano, thumb piano and electronics take on rotating forms evocative of the album's title....Ambitious, accessible and beautifully played."
