4/16
Richmond, Virginia: James River Film Festival
http://www.flicker.org/jrff.htm
TOM VERLAINE PERFORMS MUSIC FOR FILM
1pm: Ex-Television singer/guitarist Tom Verlaine with long-time accompanist Jimmy Rip serves up fresh scores for old classics in this special festival presentation. Featuring films from Man Ray, Fernand Leger, and the rarely seen THE LIFE AND DEATH OF 9413, A HOLLYWOOD EXTRA (photographed by Greg
Toland, [CITIZEN KANE]), all newly struck on 35mm. Verlaine and Rip have
appeared at the Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus, OH; The Portland
Institute for Contemporary Art, Portland, OH: and St. Ann's, Brooklyn, NY.
Verlaine found working with silents especially challenging: "There's no
click track, nobody saying 'I want music for this scene; it's constant
music..." This event will take place at the Byrd Theatre, 2908 West Cary
Street in Richmond, Virginia. For more information, call (804) 355-6537.

In just randomly poking around for some info, I came across this 1998
interview with the Montreal Mirror--before the big New Yorker thing.

Likely from the wonderful Ambiances Magnetique label- a wonderful Quebec-based label featuring the best avant-gardists/jazzers/new-music composers of that small but thriving scene. I have yet to buy a CD from the label I didn't care for. Probably the best "little known" label out there. IIRC, the label was begun by Derome and Lussier, both ex-Conventium- one of the best folk/prog bands out of Canada in the 70's/80's.
I noticed another record with the Martin

The best way to learn what this label's all about is via their inexpensive samplers- whose count is up to 5, IIRC.

Scott:
Oh go ahead and add it to your "want" list (you should see mine). It's a
one live, one studio extension of the Natives and Aliens band, with different
groupings as well as quartet pieces.
On the other matter I'm afraid after having seen Rene and Jean in group
after group both here and in Victo the "act" is starting to wear on me.
Too much praise to soon has made them think they can play anything and
everything. I think they need some stronger direction by someone hors de
Quebec.

I've been listening quite a lot to the Tiny Bell Trio lately, and was
wondering whether anyone knew of anything else that has a similar feel
about it?
I'm also curious what sort of stuff would have influenced DD to write his
odd non-linear melodies, for example Prolix and Head-On Kouvlodsko?

This weeks Village Voice lists the Naked City playing at Don Hill's in
Manhatten on Wednesday April 19th. Does anyone know if this is John Zorn's
Naked City or just another group with the same name?
