All Gates Open is a remarkable music book that delves into the enigmatic and influential experimental group, Can. Formed in Cologne in 1968, Can emerged as a groundbreaking force in the music world, blending avant-garde and jazz influences to create a highly rhythmic, minimalist sound that redefined the concept of a popular band. This captivating book is divided into two equally compelling elements: a comprehensive biography of the group penned by Rob Young, and a Symposium curated by Irmin Schmidt. The Symposium explores, in Irmin's own words and those of his collaborators and admirers, the profound impact that Can has had on popular music, visual arts, poetry, and film.
Can's music has served as a direct source of inspiration for numerous genres, including ambient, post-punk, and electronica. What sets Can apart is their unwavering commitment to creating music entirely on their terms, a philosophy that is beautifully captured in the title of All Gates Open. This book not only provides a detailed account of the group's history and achievements but also offers insightful perspectives on their ongoing legacy. Through parallel originality and insight, it defines both the story of Can and their enduring influence on the world of music.
In conclusion, All Gates Open is a must-read for music enthusiasts, artists, and anyone interested in exploring the boundaries of creativity and innovation. It is a testament to the power of music to transcend boundaries and leave a lasting impact on the world around us.
