Hello, on the tzadik website it is written that Rob Burger from Tin Hat Trio has been accompanied by bassist Greg Cohen who collaborated with Masada, Tom Waits and Lou Reed. In which occasion or in which record did GREG COHEN play with LOU REED? Thanks.

Re: Quantum Weirdness

In trying to come up with an example of a quantum approach to music, Butcher just popped to mind. No doubt there are better examples. It could be that the relation is too metaphorical and not well enough grounded in direct mathematical correlation. But I was thinking of the revolutionary scientific mind-set that produces such music, like Tom points out -- in this case, breaking down the sound into its smallest elements in order to experiment with its possibilities. It's obviously not the approach that somebody like Ayler takes on the same instrument, and it correlates much easier to the molecular sciences. And I don't really see it as metaphor -- it's an actual, material experimentation with sound that could very well produce effects in every sphere, just as investigations into quantum physics seem to do. But I was just speckulatin on a hypothesis. I know I don't know nothin. Meaning I'd hate to reduce a deeply investigative science into a resemblance it doesn't warrant. But accusing one of making spurious associations without providing alternatives is perhaps equally reductive. Maybe the question here is really about the value of metaphor and what constitutes a real relation. As far as Parker goes, we won't have been the first to make the connection between his multiphonics and the rhizome. --bob >From: Tom Benton <rancor(a)ccwf.cc.utexas.edu> >To: crowmeat(a)hotmail.com >CC: The Zorn List <zorn-list(a)mailman.xmission.com>, ><proussel(a)ichips.intel.com> >Subject: Re: Quantum Weirdness Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2002 15:58:14 -0600 >(CST) > > > > John Butcher was a physicist before turning to saxophonism, but he > > claims that in his case there's no intentional relation between the two. > > However, one could easily read them in, given his microactive technique. > > I heard or read somewhere of his being asked about the connection (that >is, physics -> music) and though he claimed there was no direction >relation as above, I believe he did say something to the effect of >his approaching the horn with same discipline and regimented patience that >he developed as a scientist.

Rhizome

"As far as Parker goes, we won't have been the first to make the connection between his multiphonics and the rhizome. --bob" - the (non-botanic) rhizome is some sorta deconstructionist concept, right? Chris Selvig

I heard or read somewhere of his being asked about the connection (that is, physics -> music) and though he claimed there was no direction relation as above, I believe he did say something to the effect of his approaching the horn with same discipline and regimented patience that he developed as a scientist. That Parker was a botanist makes lovely sense. I suspect it takes a very special kind of experimentalist brain to do what those gentleman do...

Elliott Sharp is interested in chaos theory and fractal math. It seems most apparent in the conflicting resonances of harmonic overtones in his use of string instruments. Not that you could listen and deduce specific mathematical relations from the music, but it does have a distinct character that seems to border on total molecular chaos but coalesces into a molar continuity. Especially the string quartets, Xenocodex and Larynx. It seems like some of the practitioners of 'onkyo', or computer musician/composers in general, ought to be interested in quantum theory. John Butcher was a physicist before turning to saxophonism, but he claims that in his case there's no intentional relation between the two. However, one could easily read them in, given his microactive technique. --bob np: Django >From: "Zachary Steiner" <zsteiner(a)butler.edu> >To: "'zorn list'" <zorn-list(a)mailman.xmission.com> >Subject: Quantum Weirdness >Date: Sun, 3 Nov 2002 18:17:22 -0500 > >Some physics friends of mine asked me if there has been music based on >quantum mechanics as there has been music based on all types of math and >the such.

I saw him in portugal the show depended a lot of laptop computers (it was only Arto, Melvin and a keyboardist/sax player) and the computers started to fail so the did a more noisy / improvised concert! I loved it!! they played some Arto Lindsay Trio songs! by the way, any dates for the 2nd Arto Lindsay trio album release?? > >Hi. The other day I went to an Arto show in my city >and I'm a bit surprised because I expected another >thing. >The concert started with the Julie Cruise and Khan >performance, the music wasn't good, but they created a >bizarre atmosphere, Khan inciting constantly the >audience and Cruise all dressed in black doing strange >things with her face and her hands (was like staying >in a David Lynch film).
