Intermission brings together a range of material Oren Ambarchi has contributed to compilations and limited edition vinyl releases between the years 2000 and 2008. Highlights include two live recordings - an early, fragile solo guitar recording taken from a radio broadcast in 2000 and A Final Kiss On Poisoned Cheeks, his powerful 12" recorded live in Vancouver in 2007 and originally released on <b>Table Of The Elements</b>. Additional tracks include Iron Waves an exclusive track in collaboration with vocalist <b>Paul Duncan</b> and <b>Intimidator</b> featuring Australian pianist/composer <b>Anthony Pateras</b> originally released on <b>Southern Lord</b>.
These are special anomalies in the Ambarchi canon but nonetheless feature the hallmarks of his unique soundworld, all underpinned by his trademark deep guitar tones and meticulous attention to detail. All tracks are newly remastered, many of which are available on CD for first time.
Ambarchi has performed and recorded with a diverse array of artists such as <b>Fennesz</b>, Otomo Yoshihide, Pimmon, Keiji Haino, John Zorn, Rizili, Voice Crack, <b>Jim O'Rourke</b>, Keith Rowe, <b>Phill Niblock, Dave Grohl</b>, Gunter Muller, Evan Parker, z'ev, Toshimaru Nakamura, <b>Peter Rehberg, Merzbow</b> and many more. Since 2004 Ambarchi has worked with American avant metal outfit <b>Sunn 0)))</b> contributing to many of their releases and side-projects including their <b>Black One</b> album from 2005 and the recent <b>Monoliths & Dimensions</b> release.
