The intellect given birth to here (eternity) is too young is a four-disc box set live album of music by saxophonist and clarinetist Peter Brötzmann and electric guitarist, percussionist, and vocalist Keiji Haino.
The album was released on vinyl in limited quantities in a box set containing color prints of art by both musicians in 2022 by Black Editions and Haino's Purple Trap label, and is also available as a digital download.
"[4] Magnet's Bill Meyer stated: "What Haino and Brötzmann do here exceeds words such as 'improvisation' or 'ritual,' although both capture aspects of the experience... to follow the course of either show from start to finish is to hear an echo of a ceremony.
"[6] Writing for The Quietus, Daryl Worthington commented: "On percussion, Haino seems to freeze time, stumbling, dramatically pausing and then launching into rhythms operating in a different frame rate to the sax.
These live settings exhaust not only the alchemical dynamics of Brötzmann and Haino, but also their extensive experience and the wisdom of their playing, and, as can be expected, it defies easy categorization.
