Gism is (was?) a Japanese hardcore band dating from at least the mid-80s
when they used to show up on numerous compilations alongside other extreme
Japanese hardcore like Lip Cream and Outo (may have misspelled that last
one; it's been years).

Subject: Re: I Want To Live/ The Water-Method Man
Wet-playing an LP used to be a rather commonplace method of playing an LP,
and is not as weird as one may think. Sometimes it is the *only* way to get
a good sound out of a badly worn LP, as you imply. From what I remember in
an article I read in a hi-fi magazine a century or so ago, wet-playing
hampers "vinyl recovery"-the combination of heat from friction and the
plasticizers within the vinyl itself that maintain stability within the LP's
grooves- and may actually decrease the lifespan of the vinyl if played in
such fashion with regular frequency. Thus, i'd recommend the procedure only
as needed.

There is a Gism song on RRadical Records "P.E.A.C.E." compilation which is
still available/in print. The song on the comp. is called "Endless
Blockades For The Pussy Footer". It is pretty simplistic hardcore, but
catchy and sung in English. There is also a little paragraph discussing
their politics which they sum up as "Anarchy" and "Violence"... ahh,
hardcore.....

MOst of you who would be interested have probably already seen this
on the Braxtonhouse site, but here's something:
BH-008: TRILLIUM R (4 CD-Box) (Available May 20, 1999)
BH-009: FOUR COMPOSITIONS (WASHINGTON, D.C.) 1998 (2 CD's)
(Available May 20, 1999)
Who attended these performances? (I assume Trillium was recorded
live, but either way: what was it like?) It seems like it's been
ages since recent developments in Braxtoniana have been discussed.
Or have there been recent developments?

i was at this concert at the library of congress and it was pretty
amazing! i remember that the final piece of the evening featured an
ensemble of about 15 musicians playing either composition 223 or 224 and
it was impossibly dense, frenzied and beautiful music. i'm actually pretty
excited that this is going to be available on cd. although i remember
that there was one piece for piano and violin, which didn't seem that

I was there too!
the last composition was called "Kol Nidre" and it was the absolute most

The acoustics at the auditorium were the best I think I've heard anywhere.
It was very funny to see various audience members wince and cover their
ears when zorn did his saxophone improv.

there's also what I believe is a new archival Braxton CD called something

Yeah, "News From the 70s" is on New Tone and contains 6 tracks from
Braxton's personal tape collection -- which, according to the liner notes,
consists of a pile of rotting tapes in an old cardboard box in his basement.
Here's the tracklist:
Track 1: Wheeler/Braxton/Holland/Altschul - Composition 23E
Track 2: Braxton solo (alto sax) - Comp 8C
Track 3: Braxton/Holland (cello) - Comp -1
Track 4: Wheeler/Braxton/Duhamel/Mechali - Comp -2
Track 5: Braxton solo (alto sax) - Comp 8G
Track 6: Lewis/Braxton/Holland/Altschul - Four Winds (Holland)
The sound quality on Track 1 isn't the greatest, but the piece is
well-performed. The other tracks are excellent.

I was working the concert. It was a blast. As usual, many of the
concert regulars (wealthy, conservative library donors who prefer
hearing the same classical music over and over) fled the hall once
they heard some dissonance. Like Alissa, I was amused when I saw some of
these people cover their ears during Zorn's rockin' sax solo on Friday.

I guess he is referring to this; (taken from Vol.1)
"Evan and I are two of the most skilled interpreters of this highly
specialized form of improvisation"
"We are the originators and this is an example of its latest development"
granted this is out of context, but you get he drift.
But since I dont have vol.2, I may be wrong here.

Subject: X-OR Festival
Hi all,
last weekend I went to the X-OR festival in The Hague, The
Netherlands, which was organised by the X-OR recordlabel, run by Luc
Houtkamp and Gert-Jan Prins. Aim of the festival was to give an
overview of current explorations in the field of the combination of
electronic and improvised music. Featuring artists were John
Bishoff, Wiel Coonen, David Dramm, Lori Freedman, Luc Houtkamp, Anne
La Berge, Kaffe Matthews, Tim Perkis and Gert-Jan Prins.
Although I enjoyed the festival as a whole a lot, I do have a
somewhat disillusioned feeling about it. Since the used electronic
devices were kind of static (Macintosh Laptops, Disklavier and
STEIM-software) I missed a live-experience. The most moved pieces
were the once which had the absolulety fantastic Lori Freedman
(bassclarinet) as one of the performers.
I went to a STEIM festival in Amsterdam in december last year and
they showed how electronics *can* work in a live setting, since the
use movements of the body to generate sounds (a.o. Michel Waisvisz,
Laetitia Sonami). So maybe I'm a bit spoiled by that experience.
I did although hear some very nice pieces last weekend: I did mention
Freedman; she did an outstanding piece, together with Kaffe Mathews
(violin and the LiSa program of STEIM: Jon Rose uses the same
device). Beautiful interaction between the two of them, where
Matthews used live-sampled (LiSa) sounds of Freedman's clarinet.
Another great piece was a compostion for Disklavier by Dutch
composer David Dramm: he edited a unplayable Xenakis piano piece by
integrating personal adaptions and live-manipulations of the sound of
the Disklavier, thus creating an humorous and somewhat playful
version of the original.
Does anyone have more info about Lori Freedman?
Thanks!
