Re: nels/interstellar space

>How do people feel about this album by Nels Cline? The original is one of my favorite albums, definite desert island album. I heard one track >on Virgin's Avant Guardians station and was intrigued, but found some parts to be a little much. I like it, even though Nels Cline (like many electric jazz guitarists) uses too much processing/effects for my taste. (I prefer more natural overdrive/distortion a la Sonny Sharrock, Ribot, etc.) Even better is the duo Orthrelm, everything except their '99 songs in 13 minutes' EP (that's not the title). Their music is fully composed guitar/drums alien jazz-metal, but the Interstellar Space comparison still stands ... you just have to hear it... WY

frisell at the vanguard
by mwisckol＠ocregister.com 22 Aug '02

22 Aug '02

i've calmed a bit from my dandy time in nyc last week, which included zorn leading cobra at tonic (12 piece including dresser, courvossier, feldman, ibarra, friedlander, honda, roberto rodriguez), the wollensons (avant swamp funk) w/ tony scherr on gtr at 55 bar and the frisell trio with k. wollenson and scherr at the vanguard. frisell was aug 15th i think. petra haden, charlie's daughter, was invited up twice during the second set, singing moon river and when i wish upon a star. for the encore, frisell and scherr both picked up acoustic guitars. some guy out in the audience shouted, "need a bass player?" frisell looked out, a bit annoyed, then said, "sure, come on." it was charlie haden, just over from his gig with rubalcaba at the blue note. they played some country-ish thing that haden seemed to struggle with at the turnaround. for his solo, haden called the others off ("i got it. i got it.") then went unaccompanied for at least five minutes, riffing on that line first recorded as his solo on "ramblin'" by ornette. a good time was had by all.

Re: Speaking of the Boredoms...
by Chris Selvig 22 Aug '02

I haven't read the new Wire yet, but they're supposed to put out a new Vooredoms record (3 drummers + eYe on electronics), which should be good, though I'd prefer a new Boredoms record myself. Thier pace of work is pretty slow anyway, since they're not a full-time band & eYe is getting closer to the Kevin Shields mixdown ethic every year.

Arto mixing Merzbow
by Arthur Gadney 22 Aug '02

22 Aug '02

Hi! I just saw on another mailinglist that aparrantly Arto Lindsay is going to do a remix of Merzbow, which I found rather surprising. And, the Boredoms are on the cover of the new issue of The Wire! Bye, "Merzbow's MERZBEAT, 50 minutes of aggressive, sample heavy, psychadelic beat based noise will be released September 3rd, 2002. However, check out new release page as we are making them available through our website at an inflated pre-release price. This price includes a donation to the New England Aquarium in the name of Minazow, Japan's only male elephant seal and the cover star for Merzbeat. The first pressing of MERZBEAT contains a hidden remix of Merzbow's Amlux by Jack Dangers of Meat Beat Manifesto.. This fall should prove to be a very busy time for us. We are currently busy securing remixes for the upcoming Merzbow Remix project. we have no official title for this project at this time. Remixers include Sonic Boom, Dj Spooky, Hrvatski, Atom Heart, Jack Dangers, Plug (Luke Vibert), Arto Lindsay, Bola, KK Null, Chicks on Speed, Mouse on Mars, Alec Empire, Nobukazu Takemura, Kid 606, Zipperspy, Nau-Zee-Aun, Kurt Weisman, Raub Roy, Masami Akita, Negativland,and a few more currently unconfirmed remixers. It is likely that this project will be released in early winter on cd/lp."

Hi group, if there's someone on this list, who will go to the saalfelden jazzfestival this year, please let me know... it would be nice, meeting some group members... ;-) Tim mailto:TimBlechmann@gmx.net ICQ: 96771783 http://www.nyds-exp-discogs.tk -- The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!"

avant shows in NYC
by Fastian＠aol.com 22 Aug '02

22 Aug '02

Does anybody know of some good avant jazz ( that dreaded term) shows in NYC next week, August 25th thru the 31st? I've checked out jazznewyork.org and found a few goodies like Mat Maneri and Kenny Wheeler. Does anyone know the personnel for the Wheeler shows? Also, does anyone know if Joe Morris is really playing CBGB's on Sunday? The flyer says yes and the site says no. For some reason Tonic lists next to nothing for next week's calendar. There must be something going on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, John Threadgould

maldoror
by Gianfranco G Marino 21 Aug '02

21 Aug '02

I caught the premier of Maldoror at the Blinding Light!, in Vancouver. The film consisted of about 12 shorts by German and British filmmakers. The visuals were generally abstract, keeping somewhat true to the surrealist imagery presented in Ducasse's novel. Audio was merely a reading of portions of the book. It was very low-budget and yet interesting, but mostly because of the terrifyingly beautiful language of the book. Recently saw a history of Japanese Avant-Garde films (about 10 films in all), also at the Blinding Light!. Any thoughts of Emperor Tomato Ketchup? They only screened about 30 minutes of this.

I remeber seeing an ad for it in Fortean Times. It was supposed to be showing in a few places in europe. Filmmakers got together and made different scenes from the book, putting them all together. I want to see this, but don't know if it has or will see any other releases besides these few cinemas. Any input etc? ______________________________________________________________________ Post your ad for free now! http://personals.yahoo.ca

Re: Frisell sounding fine

After hearing ill reviews of his recent work, my caution had been peaked. Context can make all the difference: It's worth noting that last night's performance at the Vanguard was not by Frisell's trio (which had been there a week earlier) but by the Motian-Lovano-Frisell trio, where I'd expect Frisell would stick more closely to his traditional roles of supporter, colorist and soloist in that group than to the acoustic folk-based things he's been doing on his own lately.
