Subject: Merzbow / Terre Thaemlitz
Hello,
I'd like to know if there is any kind of official
(or at least accurate and well-formed fan page)
web site for Merzbow? It's hard to keep up with
all his projects, it sure would be nice to be aware
of new releases when they happen.
Secondly, any recommendations for Terre Thaemlitz CDs?
Thanks,
Bruno

Subject: Re: Thurston + Acoustiphobia cd w/Marclay, Mori & Sharp
Thought I'd join this thread to say that, though I agree that not all of the
improv I've seen or heard Thurston do is as good as I'd like it to be
(considering I love Sonic Youth, and appreciate Thurston and SY's good deeds
in having avante jazz acts open for their concerts, collaborating with
various improvisors, and generally spreading the good word to the masses
about 20th/21st century "experimental" composers and music, etc) I'll put in
a plug for the record I recently released with him on it. It features
Thurston with saxophonist Wally Shoup and drummer Toshi Makihara ("Hurricane
Floyd", Sublingual Records, SLR007), and I'll spare you my praise of it,
since I'm obviously biased, but if you want info and you want to read the
great reviews on it, check out www.sublingual.com.
Also thought I'd mention a concert he's doing here in Boston on January 24th.
The concert is being called "Extended Strings", and it features Thurston with
guitarist Nels Cline (collaborator of Julius Hemphill, Vinny Golia, Greg
Bendian, and the rock groups Geraldine Fibbers and Scarnella) and electric
harpist Zeena Parkins. It takes place on at 8pm in the SMFA’s Anderson
Auditorium, and a reception and student "Sound Walk" exhibit will precede the
performance from 5 to 8 pm.
This performance will function as a release party for the Sublingual Records
Double CD set "Acoustiphobia Volume One", a document of last years SMFA Sonic
Arts exhibition. (Disc one in the set documents a trio performance by
turntablist Christian Marclay, guitarist Elliott Sharp, and drum machine
manipulator Ikue Mori. Disc two documents recordings of sonic sculptures
created by students from last years SMFA Sonic Arts program.) Admission is
$20, info & advance tickets are available at (617)267-1219, and copies of the
CD will be available at the show, from Sublingual mail-order, or from Forced
Exposure distribution.
This performance will be recorded for possible release next year as
"Acoustiphobia Volume Two", and is part of the "Dangerous Waves: Art of
Sound" series of programs by the Sonic Arts Program at the School of the
Museum of Fine Arts (Lauren Weinger, Director, and Doug Henderson, Associate
Director) that brings together Museum School students and faculty with
pioneering sound artists such as Alvin Lucier, Elliott Sharp, Ron Kuivila,
Liz Phillips, and Anney Bonney, among others. Dangerous Waves features
exhibitions, a live performance, lectures and a panel discussion on new and
adventurous sound experiments.

Happy 2001 everyone,
I just saw the film TRAFFIC, which I enjoyed. The
film had a gently pulsing somewhat ambient score, and
when I saw the music credits roll, there was:
David Torn (Splattercell) - guitar
I also noticed that Flea (!!) of red Hot CHili Peppers
fame played bass, and Herbie Hancock's name was there
too. When I checked out the sdtrk details, I found
that the composer of the score was CLiff Martinez, who
apparently once worked with Captain Beefheart's Magic
Band. Wow! The degrees of separation close rapidly.

Hi there!
I found surprising that you review positively Sonic
Youth's & Jim O'Rourke "Invito al Cielo" and dislike
Moore's improv work.
I entirely share your love of Sonic Youth and found
the two first SYR releases excellent. However, "Invito
al Cielo" and "Goodbye 20th Century" are for me at the
same level of self-indulgence, specially the former.
How did you manage to listen to "Goodbye..." in its
entirety?
Last but not least, I'd like to recommend those of you
who have not heard the Ikue Mori/DJ Logic/Kim Gordon
CD from Sonic Youth Recordings.
Bye,

what about that from the Ribot website:

NYC
Show Times: 8:30 & 10:30 p.m.
Tickets: $15
Nonetheless a good Zorn website would be very helpful - like the exemplary
ones of Dave Douglas or Ellery Eskelin - to follow current activities and
concert schedules...

Hey Steve - you mentioned Bobby Previte had a great new recording that he was
attempting (unsuccesfully) to release, I wonder why he couldn't just release
it on Tzadik, I know he's released on Avant before, and I would have thought
that Zorn would be more than happy to release something new and exciting from
Previte???
wudzy.
BTW, I see someone mentioned that they were listening to The Fall, in my
opinion one of the greatest running groups in history, for anyone interested
check out their album 'Perverted by Language' or for a great overview of their
earlier stuff - 'palace of swords reversed.' Their newest 'Unutterable' is
also very good.

would like to know more. Anyone bought Gidon Kremer's Silencio?
2) It looks like there are known Masada tunes on the Trembling-disc. am I

3) Is the Cartoon/SM of any interest since all the compositions are well
known and aptly performed in the past. How's the clarinet Kol Nidre?

I personnally find it interesting. I find the interpretation to be different
than what can be found on _The String Quartets_ and the other albums. Of
course, if you already have all the compositions, are short on money and this
will decide if you will eat tomorrow, it can be a better idea to wait a
little!
Hope it helps,

Any guess on my part is pure supposition, but here goes:
1. Most Tzadik releases seem to come from Zorn's mandate, as opposed to
unsolicited materials.
2. The recording is a live performance, and most Tzadiks seem to be new studio
recordings (yes, there are exceptions).
3. It's possible that Zorn heard the music and simply didn't like it (again, this
is doubtful, but who knows?). Or maybe Bobby hasn't even passed it along to
Zorn. If he did, maybe Zorn would pony up the funds to do a proper studio
recording of the suite for the Composers Series.
4. Maybe the project was beyond Tzadik's tight budget. This wouldn't preclude
release on Avant (where the more expensive things go) or DIW (where the most
expensive things go). For example, Lee Konitz was reportedly making a new disc
for Tzadik's Radical Jewish Culture series. But the latest Downtown Music
Gallery update includes a Konitz disc on DIW. Could it be the same recording?
Did it run over budget in the studio? Who can say, other than Zorn?
Like I said, this is all just supposition. But with any luck, Bobby will find a
home for this release ('Sunburst Wounds the Tardy Star - The 23 Constellations of
Joan Miro') in the coming year. To my ears it's a throwback to the style of his
Gramavision releases of the late '80s. But those are great, great records.
Personally I think CRI/Blueshift should do it.
Nasty Rumor Department:
It may soon become more difficult to find Tzadik and Avant releases in mainstream
stores. I heard an ugly rumor (unconfirmed but fairly reliable) that Koch
International has recently dropped most of its edgier labels. This would include
Tzadik, Avant, Knitting Factory (which is currently defunct anyway - more below),
and Table of the Elements. I've also heard that Koch has essentially "impounded"
all existing ToTE stock not currently in stores, and that the label head may thus
have to start a new label. It's an ugly story if it's true, but it wouldn't
surprise me now that Koch has headed into the pop world with rap and metal
records and chart-topping releases related to the World Wrestling Federation and
Pokemon. However, those who rely on DMG and the indie stores that deal with
Forced Exposure and the like will probably notice little change in the release
schedule (other than ToTE, obviously). If I get some kind of confirmation of
this, I'll pass it along.
And to New Yorkers and those planning to visit: right now at the Knit you can buy
their CDs at a cost of three for $20, with a free drink besides. Time to stock
up before they disappear (I strongly recommend the new Cuong Vu and Andy Laster
releases). The financial problems to which Kurt Gottschalk recently referred are
apparently all too true. The most recent issue of The Nation, in a Gene Santoro
article about the Ken Burns film unavailable online, mentions that the Knit is in
the hole to the tune of $2 million, and insiders have suggested to me that it's
possibly much, much more. The label is currently suspended, Knotes is not being
published, and a more dire fate may be in store. I spoke to one of the artists
on the label about this on Friday and he says the prognosis is not good. Added
to this, there will NOT be a Bell Atlantic Jazz Festival this year - Verizon has
decided to give its funding to George Wein's Festival Productions (producers of
the JVC Jazz Festivals) for a music festival - NOT a "jazz" festival - to take
place in August. More details when I get them, but for now it looks like a
disaster in the making. And while I may have my own personal past baggage with
Dorf, I dearly hope that this fate can be averted.
On the other hand, the Vision Festival is alive and well, and just about to
announce an incredible lineup with a ton of visiting Europeans. Once again, I
don't have any more details, but will pass them along when I hear more.
