The later releases are more Jazzy/Trip Hop.  Ok, just not as noteworthy.  A
few keen hip hop tracks with guest MCs, but most of the vocals are
absent.  There is a collaborative track with Otomo Yoshihide and a mix by
him as well.

Speaking of EYE, what are some more beat oriented tracks of his?  I really
enjoy his mix of Flare (Ken Ishii), and his tracks on the recent Fuji & Mo
Wax compilations.  Seems he must have more like that....?  Recently saw a
listing for _Shock City Shockers_ that seemed like it might fit the bill....?

sorry for the promotional intrusion, and further apologies if you receive=20
more than one copy of this:

I'm proud to announce the release of the latest CD on my label:

Otomo Yoshihide/Voice Crack-Bits, Bots and Signs (Erstwhile 011)

Otomo Yoshihide has explored the nature of sound in many different ways=20
during his career. A student of the brilliant guitarist Masayuki Takayanagi,=
=20
Otomo formed the hugely influential group Ground Zero in 1990, leading the=20
project through numerous incarnations until its conclusion in 1998, as=20
documented on the epic Last Concert (Amoebic).  Over the last few years,=20
Otomo has become increasingly interested in  minimal wave-based electronics,=
=20
as heard in his Filament and I.S.O projects. Other projects which he is=20
currently involved in include his New Jazz Quintet, who play standards from=20
composers such as Ornette Coleman, Gerry Mulligan and Eric Dolphy, as well a=
s=20
original tunes by Otomo, all refracted through his unique sensibilities.=20
Otomo has also composed numerous soundtracks for movies, and has written=20
numerous articles and essays for Japanese music publications.

Swiss duo Voice Crack (Norbert M=F6slang and Andy Guhl) have been playing=20
together since 1972. In 1977, they released the then underappreciated Deep=20
Voices LP (FMP, reissued on CD by Urthona), which they created largely with=20
acoustic instruments. Since 1983, they've been exclusively working with=20
"cracked everyday-electronics", modifying and/or abusing numerous small=20
household machines in order to produce extreme, unique noises. Voice Crack's=
=20
current projects include their longstanding collaborative partnership with=20
Borbetomagus, poire_z with G=FCnter M=FCller and Erik M.,  as well as their=20=
solo=20
work, well documented with such superb recent releases as Below Beyond Above=
=20
(Urthona) and Shock_Late (Entenpfuhl). They also have a collaborarative disc=
=20
in the works with J=E9r=F4me Noetinger and Lionel Marchetti, which will be=20
released on Grob in 2001.

Bits, Bots and Signs documents the long overdue first meeting of these=20
pioneers, recorded in March 2000 in St. Gallen, Switzerland, although as=20
M=F6slang says, "from the beginning, it was as if we had played together for=
 a=20
long time."  The three musicians generate gently pulsing rumbles, piercing=20
whistles and lingering whines, fusing these varied sounds into a series of=20
expansive panoramas. The striking cover drawing was created by Swiss artist=20
Alex Hanniman.

"Otomo Yoshihide and Voice Crack expertly weave a brittle fabric of sound,=20
unifying notions of instant composition with the radiating randomness of liv=
e=20
electronics. Useful sonic "flaws" fold in upon themselves giving these works=
=20
a vocabulary of fresh electronic elements that come across equally as well=20
placed, spontaneous, and compelling. Electro-acoustic improvisation at its=20

I saw them last November in Wels, after the EP was out, before TG11 had been
released. the songs I recognized were almost exactly the same as the EP, but
there's less synth work on there, so you might be right. either way, check
them out.

<< Will this be similar to their previous collaboration on Meme?>>

not really, that was a studio record of short pieces from 1/99, with
postproduction. this is a straight improv record, compiled from their
European tour this past May, with a 36 minute centerpiece.

Patrice chastised me a while back for raving about records people couldn't
get yet. this won't be out until February or March, but I will be playing the
36 minute track in its entirety during my DJ set at Experimental Intermedia
on December 17. hopefully I'll even know approximately what time once we get
closer. if you haven't been there, the sound system is easily the best for
this kind of music in NYC.

<<I've wondered what else Nakamura has done...?  I'd not heard of him prior

he hasn't recorded much. he's one half of Repeat, who have a few CDs
consisting of beat-driven improv, not really my thing. he has a solo CD out
on Zero Gravity soon, and he's on most of the Improvisation Meeting at Bar
Aoyama disc, which is very good. more info at:

www.japanimprov.com/tnakamura/index.html

what that page won't tell you is that he's also working on a duo CD for me
with Keith Rowe, probably out in the second half of 2001.

In the states?  I will if they ever come here.

How was the Le Quan Ninh show?  I was going to drive up to NYC, but the
usual school and radio-station related prevented it.

Hello, and apologies if you get this more than once.  Kevin Drumm's music
has been discussed on all these lists in recent memory if I'm not mistaken.

This Wednesday, Nov. 15th, from 8 to 10 p.m., I will be doing a special
two-hour radio show featuring only the music of Kevin Drumm.  I'll be
playing material from his solo albums, improvisational duets, and
compilation appearances, including some now-rare material, like his split
with Taku Sugimoto on BOXmedia and the Sonance Quarry compilation.

Unfortunately, we're not yet broadcasting over the internet, but if you're
in Conn. or the Springfield area of Mass., you should be able to hear the
show at 88.1 FM on WESU, Middletown.

Thanks, and apologies for the intrusion.

Yes, very much. The part that was most intriguing though was the
last song of TG11, the marimba-composition. Brandlmayer performed
it live and it was just awesome..

<eYe has a side project called Audiosports that is Japanese hip hop.
Highly recommended if you like hip hop.>

Just for the record, I recently saw EYE DJ'ing in Osaka - I was lucky
enough to be playing on the same bill in a duet with P Schutze - and
he was extraordinary. Without question, the single best DJ set I've
ever seen, a constantly shape-shifting collage of ethnic music,
noise, fusion beats (really! - most of the second half was
underpinned with what sounded like a Zawinul piece), electro-acoustic
stuff. And he worked CONSTANTLY, Inspirational. also, while in Tokyo,
picked up 'Pipeline - 24 Smash hits By Puzzle Punk Bands', a
collaborative effort between Eye and paintwer/collagist Shinro
Ohtake, which is a great slice of lo-fi mayhem.

<Does anyone know whether Brad Shepik uses any effects units (particularly i=
n

When I saw the TBT in  London earlier this year, the only FX Shepik
used was a distortion pedal - and that pretty sparingly. Not sure
what, but sounded like an Ibanez Tube Screamer or the Boss Turbo
Overdrive. Ah fuzz box trainspotting! Sorry about that.

<Taku Sugimoto / Annette Krebs

Does anyone know if this is a tour? And has anyone heard the CD? Any opinion=
s?

On the Sachiko M front, I don't know if anyone's mentioned the HOAHIO
CD on Tzadik, which features a trio of M, Yagi Michiyo and Haco. It's
wonderful, one of the best things I've heard on the label this year.
I've reviewed it on motion if you'd like a quick listen.
