Hello Tim,
New CD "Invoke" is coming out on June 25. The list of musicians on it
makes me believe that it will be in the same quasi-Brazilian style as
four previous ones.

Well, for sure a video exists with Naked City + two vocalists. And I know
one of them is Kevin Sharp. I think perhaps the other one is wearing a mask,
which makes it hard to tell. But, thinking about it again, I'm not sure that
they play Leng T'che. Maybe I'm mixing something up.
Personally I always thought that Naked City was not in top form for their
concerts during the Zornfest, so I hope that's not the rest of the live
albums. Around 1990 they *really* ripped on the Torture Garden material.
Also some of the last concert in 1992 are incredibly, because they really
play *everything*. Zorn's old game pieces, hard core stuf, MILLIONS of
covers including Albert Collins stuff and so on..... Mayeba live CD from the
last concert would be great. I mean the last before the Zornfest reunion.

Yea yea, and Whitney Huston sang with Material, but.... What did Stipe

Don't read this message if you don't want to know what Zorn's new 'IAO'
sounds like in some detail (not that I think I can really capture the thing
in words alone...). Though I don't normally do this, I'll give you some
spoiler space, in case you want to delete this without seeing anything. I
rather liked not knowing anything about it in advance except for Zorn's
promotional description; it made it all the more surprising. But if you,
like Arthur, want to know what it's like, read on...

John Zorn, 'IAO - Music in Sacred Light' (Tzadik 7338)
John Zorn, Jamie Saft, Cyro Baptista, Jim Pugliese, Greg Cohen, Beth Hatton,
Jennifer Charles, Rebecca Moore, Bill Laswell, Mike Patton (listed more or
less in order of overall prominence)
Gorgeous packaging, wrapped in a pure white O-card with the title in ornate,
raised lettering on the front and a magickal symbol on the back. Instead of
a booklet, four individual and very similar insert cards, gold on one side
with more magickal symbols, black and bone-white on the other with
invocations, personnel ("spirits") and track listings (subtitled "Part the
First," "Part the Second," etc.) Tray card has a photo, printed in gold, of
what looks like a figure burning on a staircase. Back cover is a goat's head
on a pentagram. The disc itself has the title again in raised black
lettering on a black disc, like a Haino release.
1. "Invocation" (7:06) - Organ and chiming cup-gongs, rustling noises, more
organ and scraping percussion, bull-roarer. (It strikes me that the
percussion effects are quite similar to those used in the recent concert
work 'Rituals.') A knife being sharpened, a growing roar of cymbals, gongs
and white noise, panning from left to right and back again. Jingling keys
over a vocal-sounding synth patch. Spooky and mysterious, like the
soundtrack for a black magick video (possibly the Kenneth Anger
connection?). Disembodied groans and bass drum. Wooden percussion and deeper
gongs, more organ. Dripping water. Ghostly voices: Gregorian chant-like
tones and hissing ghouls. Piercing organ tones over metallic groans.
2. "Sex Magick" - (13:13) Beautifully recorded all-percussion track: A
slow-burning ritualistic tour de force for Cyro, possibly even overdubbed
solo but just as likely a duet with Pugliese and perhaps a third player just
keeping time with a shaker. The recording itself has the tactile, physical
presence of the Latin percussion workouts on Kip Hanrahan's late '80s
albums, which are still a high point in percussion recording for me. May
become boring for non-percussion freaks, but I love the tiny, minute various
in touch and timbre.
3. "Sacred Rites of the Left Hand Path" (6:25) - Begins with ringing
electric piano arpeggios, then adds organ chords and piano figures, hand
percussion, breathy sounds. Greg Cohen's deep, plummy bass joins in at about
1:50 as the density increases gradually. Alternatingly romantic and nervous
piano figures over the top; cocktail lounge Ligeti. More deep breathy
sounds. Again, like movie music: Repeat as necessary. Ends with a groan.
4. "The Clavicle of Solomon" (9:22) - Squelchy sine-waves, subterranean
rumbles, lap-top noises. Might even be a solo lap-top intro for all I know;
a lot of the typical lap-top sound markers are here. Organ jabs in the
background create a pulse. (I keep getting distracted, because one of the
repetitive sounds in the mix makes me think my telephone is ringing outside
my headphones.) Synthesized ghouls and purring, quarrelling machine sounds.
Whistling, twittering, burbling, underpinned with synth choruses.
5. "Lucifer Rising" (5:17) - Gorgeous, ghostly three-part female chorus.
Lovely, spooky chords. One of the voices emerges and begins to whisper and
moan, "We can't... We can't..." and other undiscernable things. A distant
keyboard ostinato enters and exits here and there. Did I mention it's really
spooky?
6. "Leviathan" (3:13) - Here's the black metal track. Laswell sounds bigger
than Godzilla's balls. The drumming is too multi-directional for this to be
conventional metal, though... it's a pretty overwhelming onslaught. This is
where Patton really gets to freak out in his finest approximation of Eye, as
well, though he's so far back in the mix that it plays the role of another
instrument. There's a guitar freaking out in the distance, as well; no idea
who's playing it (Saft?) or if it's sampled. A colossal wall of sound and
fury, ending abruptly.
7. "Mysteries" (5:47) - Water gong and chiming electric piano create an
instant repose after the former. The piano wanders on in a bluesy cast,
almost like an Angelo Badalamenti 'Twin Peaks' out-take, while percussive
sounds ping and pong and clatter all 'round.
I have no clue whether this will be anyone's favorite new Zorn release, but
I personally can't remember having this much fun and encountering so many
unexpected departures in a while. Amusing, fascinating, inscrutable...
pretty much everything I hope for in a new Zorn project. Now, on to Naked
City, about which I expect to have little to add to the ongoing
conversation - everyone's pretty much covered it, I'd imagine...

AN UNPUBLISHED HISTORY
this is the great beginning of a vast anthology of "noise and electronic
music" that we plan for the following years in 7 double volumes.
this volume begins in the 1920s, with the Russolo brothers, and looks at
each decade in turn - VarΦse, Cage, Schaeffer, Xenakis, the great pioneers -
the first traces of a music that was necessarily revolutionary: electronic
music, created from nothing (and hence to be entirely invented). some pieces
on these CDs are certainly classics, but there are others, which, though
old, were distributed informally or never even released. our more
contemporary pieces are, wherever possible, previously unreleased. This

in fact, more than the half of what we listen here is unreleased and
unpublished.

THE GATHERING OF ECLECTIC NOISE MAKERS
whereas composers like Stockhausen, Berio or Pousseur had come from
serialism and began making electronic music as a continuation of their work
with traditional instruments, others such as Boehmer
or Oliveros composed right away on electronic bases; there were those who
invented new methods, like Schaeffer and concrete music, others were
outsiders, revolutionaries or visionaries like Xenakis or
Cage, without forgetting the branch of sound derived from dada, the complex
forms of free jazz,
John Coltrane, the acoustic and electronic improvisation scene, rock of the
alternative, psychedelic
and industrial varieties,
the German wave of the 1970s, the last generation of electronic musicians
from the beginning or
middle of the 1990s, DJs, reinventors of drones, painters or sculptors using
sound, and process or software creators. The noise goes onè
