So Ryonen, the collaborative new album by Man Forever and So Percussion, sounded like a good fit. It’s 30 or so minutes of almost nothing but drumming, divided into two pieces – the 11-minute The Clear Realization and the 18-minute title track. Ryonen doesn’t fall easily into jazz, rock or any genre – perhaps not surprising, considering the musicians’ backgrounds. Man Forever is founded by Kid Millions, the drummer for Oneida, a Brooklyn outfit whose music is a crazy blender of drone, dub electronica, minimalism and a lot of other stuff. On a side note, the repeated listenings of Ryonen prompted me to go back to last year’s Drumgasm, a single 39-minute all-drum piece by Zach Hill of Death Grips, Sleater-Kinney’s Janet Weiss and Soundgarden’s Matt Cameron. I didn’t think much of it on first listen, but with more focus and patience on subsequent playings, I’m hearing things I hadn’t previously.

Here, Man Forever harnesses the power of repetitive drumbeat-drills and the misdirection of some innocuous silence and droning vocals to create a sort of synesthesia, blurring the lines between each piece’s individual components with clarity as yet unheard within Man Forever’s canon. Finding its home appropriately on the A-side is The Clear Realization, its immediate coherency making it the more easy-to-swallow pill. Ryonen, on the other hand, gives more weight to an ominous quietude and elongated low-end rumbles. A significant counterbalance to its predecessor’s emphasis on rat-a-tats and various pitter-patters, the track starts out with a tribal, volcanic rumble and showcases little diversion for a solid eight minutes, simply increasing in magnitude and disarray as an ominous drone builds beneath the surface.

Man Forever is a percussion focused project by John Colpitts aka Kid Millions, frequent collaborators include Brian Chase, Shahin Motia, Richard Hoffman and Ryan Sawyer. Aliases: John Colpitts, Kid Millions. Man Forever With Sõ Percussion - Ryonen (Album). Man Forever With White Gregg.

The two pieces of Ryonen are rhythmically seductive and instantly exciting while retaining the experimental legacy that Man Forever has cultivated over several albums and relentless touring. So Percussion and Man Forever combine forces, highlighting the former’s precision and ingenuity with the latter’s restless punk spirit.

Man Forever is an exploratory percussion project helmed by John Colpitts (aka Kid Millions), one of New York s most versitile and critically lauded collaborators and a founding member of Oneida. While previous Man Forever records were inspired by blissful, overwhelming confusion, Ryonen derives its power from its clarity and immediacy. So far in 2014 he has recorded an album with Rick Moody and is performing with William Basinski at the Ecstatic Music Festival in March. Man Forever will tour the US and Europe performing Ryonen.
