Someone was asking about Mark Dresser. He was a member of the Anthony Braxton
Quartet for appr. 15 years. Virtually all albums are incredible as Marilyn
Crispell(piano) and Gerry Hemingway(drums) are phenomenal as well.Also worth
checking out are his CD`s with Tim Berne. I think Tim Berne is the best
musician on the planet. Dresser is on Fractured Fairy Tales,Sanctified
Dreams,Pace Yourself, and Nice View. I could go on and on about these but
most are probably very familiar with them.

Dresser is an absolute monster on the bass, and I mean that in the best
way possible. One of my current favorite records is the Arcado String
Trio/Trio de Clarinettes "Green Dolphy Suite" CD on Enja. Ernst
Riejseger has replaced Hank Roberts in Arcado, which is an improvement,
for me at least. The Trio de Clarinettes is Louis Sclavis, Armand Angster
and Jacques di Donato. The music is a wonderful mix of chamber music and
jazz, some of the compositions remind me of Bartok and early Stravinsky.
Another interesting Dresser record is Bob Ostertag's "Say No More", in
which Ostertag recombines solo improvisations by Dresser, Joey Baron,
Gerry Hemingway and Phil Minton into ensemble pieces through extensive
computer editing. Also, if you haven't heard Dresser's work with Anthony
Braxton and Tim Berne, you really need to check that out!
Later,
Dave Trenkel

It's definitely the same guy. I interviewed him briefly last spring and he
mentioned that he had just finished recording this record.

I was curious about this myself. Also, unless I'm adding incorrectly, it
seems like the 2 discs of Classic Guide To Strategy are longer than CD length
also.

-Subject: An Avant release
Many months ago, I saw an Avant CD that had, on the back cover, a paragraph
rant against classicism. The sentiment alone was enough to make me want to
buy it but I did not have the money on me. I forgot the artist's name and
could never find it again. Does anyone know who it is? --Thanks

Zorn is on Bungle's jock like hurricanes on Florida, and rightfully so.
When I saw Zorn at the Duke U. Masada show last year I think the man's very
words were "Bungle knows their shit. All I did as producer was just polish
the stone". For those of you not familiar with Bungle, they're like a yet
more chaotic Naked City, weird funny violent and tighter than an
earthworm's rectum. And I think Zorn brought in Shea, but I didn't hear
that out of Zorn's mouth- just commensurate respect for fellow avante guard
musical instrument torturers.

-Subject: Re: ZORN DIGEST #95
does anyone know all of the releases from a band called main? i know its a
kind of distant relationship to Zorn but thats how i got there....God to
Godflesh to Main. its very ambient industrial noise sorta stuff. i have 2
cds by them Motion Pool and a single but ive forgotten the title. the 2 i
have are on beggers banquet. and might the Halfler Trio be to outside the
new york thing to bring into the disscussion? namley halfler trios Fuck cd.
i would higly recomend either of these bands to anyone who likes Absynthe
also Illusion of saftey is good but not as....i dont mean to lead the
disscussion away from Zorn but as i am always looking for new music i
thought i might suggest these. anyone else that has any suggestions that
might lead me/us into a new direction would be great.
also does amyone know anything about the Japanses noise scene other than
the boredoms? if their even included...i heard of a band called CCCC but
have had no luck in finding anything by them. living in the city that has
spawned such greats as guns & roses and warrant im surprised that a can of
hair spray is not givin away with each cd.....
thanks

I understand that the scatchy record sound quality of
ZOHAR is courtesy of a short sample of the lead in
grooves from an old 78 that was then processed and
looped.

I hightly recommend:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
102 - AGGREGATES 1-26: Arto Lindsay Trio
Recorded at Magic Stop
Produced by Arto Lindsay
Arto Lindsay: guitar, voice; Melvin Gibbs: bass; Dougie Bowne: drums; Paul
Alexander (10): voice.
1995 - Knitting Factory Works, KFWCD-164 (CD)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With this record, Arto took DNA where he left it, 15 years ago. The music is
terse, dense, skronky. Not the slightest ballad, Brazilian rhythm or synthe-
sizer (and I like a lot the Ambitious Lovers!). A kind of back to the roots.
Get it!
Patrice.
