I haven't heard it. The cd was released last month in Japan and Europe.
It won't be released in the U.S. until January.
Purportedly Haino plays acoustic guitar on the AVANT release,
in contrast to the recent Haino/Baron/Dresser show in NYC, where he played
electric guitar.

Does Haino sing on the AVANT release? He didn't at the Haino/Baron/Dresser
show.

you might like to check out our soundfile-accompanied arto piece on the
motion website at
http://motion.state51.co.uk
for what it's worth, i think that noon chill, along with its two
precursors, mundo civilizado and o corpo sutil are among the best albums of
the 90s: full of wonderfully written and played songs. check out the piece,

Bisk is the name taken by Naohiro Fujikawa, who is Japanese. He
has three records out on Sub Rosa, not including some stuff that
went on a sampler disc. The one called Time is probably the one
to start with, though they're all excellent. It's experimental
electronica, using samples and weird synth noises strung together
at odd intervals. Heavy on the use of space and time. Lots of it
has a funky groove, but also plenty of untimely interruptions.
Bisk talks about Takemitsu and Coltrane as influences, though
you'd have to approach the music abstractly to reach those
conclusions yourself. I like to think of it as soundtrack material
for a cartoon about a robot factory.

Subject: Stiebler
The other day I got a CD by a German composer named Ernstalbrecht
Stiebler called 'Three In One' on the HatArt label and really enjoyed
it. There are three long and focused "soft" compositions which focus on
using a limited set of tones - performed by Eberhard Blum, Frances-Marie
Uitti, Marriane Scroeder, etc. (standard HatArt cast). The most
enjoyable pieces are the two for solo intrument and tape (which acts as
two more of the same instrument). Christian Wolff wrote the liner
notes...
Does anybody know anything about this guy's other work? I know there is
another on HatArt... Anyone familiar with it?
The new Fred Van Hove solo double-disc on Potlach is excellent, btw.

Subject: Irene Schweitzer
This afternoon, WKCR is playing three hours of Irene Schweitzer's work
and it's sounding pretty good. I don't really know her stuff very
well; as near as I can recall, I have her playing on Barry Guy's great
'Theoria' and a somewhat interesting Intakt release from the late
80's, 'The Storming of the Winter Palace', probably a few other
places, but nothing as leader.
Can any recommend some prime Schweitzer for me?
Thanks,

Actually, it's spelled Schweizer. I heartily recommend any of her duets
with drummers, but especially the ones with Han Bennink (Intakt 010) and
Andrew Cyrille (Intakt 008).
Of her solo work, I particularly like Many And One Direction (Intakt
044). I believe there is also one out now with Hamid Drake from the '97
Empty Bottle Festival but I haven't heard it.
I interviewed Irene at the Victoriaville Festival last year for Coda and
she told me she has consciously moved away from playing fast and dense
(which she considers a macho style) in favor of a much lighter, sparser
attack.

Was listening to Gary Lucas playing live for 2 hours on WFMU last night (he is
still jaw dropping amazing by the way), and they were hinting about guests
sitting in with Gary at his 10th anniversary show at the Knitting Factory
Friday night, 12/11/98.
Anybody know if JZ will be there or not? I'll be there taping in the balcony
if anybody wants to come by and say hi or share a beer.

Haven't heard it or rather have heard almost all of it before. The sticker
says that there's about two hours of previously unreleased music (including
the group's first commission, never before recorded) but whether you feel
that's worth the money is another question.

Ah, someone else has heard of him! I'd heard some of his work on The
Spinner's 20th Century channel (which is quite good -- I'm listening to
some Phill Niblock on it now) but couldn't find any info about him or
where to find more of his work. HatArt... Hmm...

Yes, this right here was an example I'd been wondering if anyone would
mention. There's nothing intrensically "new" about anything Tommy is doing
in 1998, but the sum total of his depth of artistic expression in 1998 is,
I'd argue, at the highest level it's ever been in a career full of
distinction (he played on "Giant Steps," fer Chrissakes...). Such recent
albums as "Let's (Play the Music of Thad Jones)" and "Sea Changes"
illustrate this quite nicely, and the latest, "Sunset and the Mockingbird"
(recorded live at the Village Vanguard on, I think, his 67th birthday) is a
killer, its title track a fairly rare Duke Ellington tune that, despite its
utter simplicity and relative lack of improvisational elaboration, sends
genuine shivers through me every time I hear it. And I heard it four of
the five times I went out to hear Tommy in September...
I suppose in the Braxton lingo Tommy Flanagan is a master "stylist,"
someone who masterfully exists and creates within the structures and
languages created by "restructuralists" without adding anything especially
groundbreaking. (Those looking for an explanation of the Braxton terms
cited should see pg. 162 of Graham Lock's "Forces in Motion," still one of
my very favorite music books). But Tommy also proves to me beyond any
shadow of a doubt that the world has a place and a need for master
stylists.
Personally I think Zorn's still dwelling amongst the restructuralists, even
if Masada is stylism at a very high level.
Bravo, Martin.

NP - Brutal Truth, "Sounds of the Animal Kingdom" (*definitely* stylists,
although this one track referencing Sun Ra is really freaking me out right
about now...)

sorry for re-posting this as a reminder...
After the very successful nite with Dougie Bowne & Melvin Gibbs (Eyvind
Kang couldn't make it due to his teacher's sudden fall into coma.. but
he's arrived in town now & he'll appear at Roulette for Ikue Mori's
concert w/ world premiere of her new compositions on Dec. 12th, though..
check it out!!!) @tonic on Dec. 5th, Umezu Kazutoki,
composer/arranger/producer/& most of all one of the best sax(& other
reeds) players in Japan, will be performing only 2 more nites at the
following venues;
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Wed. December 9th, 8 & 9:30 p.m. (different 2 sets)
@Knitting Factory/Old Office, 74 Leonard St.(bet. Church Ave. & B'way)
tel. 212-219-3006, or http://www.knittingfactory.com
8 p.m. set: Umezu on reeds; Christine Bard on perc; Jim Pugliese on
perc.
9:30 p.m. set: Umezu on reeds; Anthony Coleman on keys.; David Krakauer
on clarinets
admission: $8
Two great improv. sets!
1st. set features double percussion by Bard & Pugliese, who are both
inevitable collaborators for John Zorn's numerous compositions, also
performed in Harry Partch Ensembles, Bang On A Can All-stars, were
members of Marc Ribot's Shrek, and are current members of EasSide
Percussion (Avant), & Soultronix. (Pugliese also is a member of Anthony
Coleman's 'Selfhaters' while Bard also is a member of Trousers &
pitchbrite.)
2nd. set features two masters of radical jewish music & improvisation:
Coleman (Sephardic Tinge & Selfhaters) & Krakauer (Klezmer Madness!).
Since Umezu's heavy addiction to klezmer music is very famous (he has 18
pcs. big klezmer band, 'Betsuni Nanmo Klezmer' in Tokyo!), this trio
will surely hit international klezmer phenomena!!
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Thurs. December 10th, 8 & 9:30 p.m. (2 sets)
@Knitting Factory/Old Office, 74 Leonard St.(bet. Church Ave. & B'way)
tel. 212-219-3006, or http://www.knittingfactory.com
both sets: Umezu on reeds; Brad Jones on bass; Marc Ribot on guitar;
Kenny Wollesen on drums
admission: $8
World premiere of all new compositions by Umezu!
This quartet composed of undoubtedly the best players in New York, is
Umezu's brand-new recording project. (needless to mention?! but... Ribot
& Jones of Los Cubanos Postizos, Kenny Wollesen of oh-so-many
bands/recordings; John Schott, John Zorn, Steve Beresford, Tom Waits,
Andrea Parkins, Myra Melford's 'Crush', Wayne Horvitz Quartet, New
Klezmer Trio, etc...) They will record in studio the songs you'll hear
_live_ at this night. But, if you miss this rare chance, you won't hear
them blasting in realtime for a pretty long time!
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
