- For those Zorn affenciados I picked this up today for $32.95 NZ - damn
- expensive here, and was I surpised to see it in the local commercial music
- store) and accquired a Painkiller CD (Xmas pressie from a net friend
- :-). Zorn has projects with God, Painkiller and Naked City, plays an awesome
- alto-sax.) IMHO God - Possesion is one of the best noise grind fusion albums
- for 1992.) Email me for further info if you like.

- John Zorn's first film project, a 30 minute film project, directed by
- Rob Schwebber taking place on the lower East side. To reflect the punk
- overtones in the film he put together a core group of downtown rockers.
- Arto and Anton have played in Golden Palmominos and Locus Solus groups
- respectively. But the real coup of this recording is punk guitar genious
- Robert Quine (from the Voidoids and Lou Reed's band). Features solo on
- the End Title. This reflects Zorn's (and my raves :-) Hardcore noise punk
- (MAIN TITLE), rockabilly(THE HEIST), moody Bernad Herrman-esque (MEAT
- DREAM) and bluesy jazz(PHONE CALL).
-
- Carol Emanuel takes a few gorgeous choruses of blues on PHONE CALL recalling
- the soulful sound of harpist Dorothy Ashby and Anton Fier's playing has
- beautiful prescion with simplicity that's a joy to hear. Highlighted is
- Bob Quine who runs a wide range of styles.

- Recorded May 1990 at Platimum Island Studio, NY by Ricky Belt
- Mixed Augsut 1990 at Science Lab NYC by Jerry Gottus
-
- Director: Raul Ritz
-
- Specialises in cheap, fast and eclectic films, Grade B.
-
- Much of the time spent engineering this soundtrack was to mirror
- Raul's film-making styles, generating as many different kinds of
- sound possible, this was cut then edited to give the overall picture.
- Almost 60 minutes of recording was recorded in two days and mixed
- in one. In keeping with the films basic non-linear time sense, the
- music was cut to shreds to create a highly discontinous "post-
- Godardian" universe. In many ways this film was a milestone for me,
- and changed my whole attitude towards film scoring, from neurotic
- perfectism to more quirky and colloborative approach.

- Recorded and mixed December 1986 at Radio City Studios, NYC
- by Don Hunerberg
-
- Director: Shelley McLauglin
-
- The film is a story of love and obsession between a lsebian filmmaker and
- her lover, whose jealously reaches near pscyhotic proportions.
- The music draws largely on jazz/blues roots and features plenty of soulful
- soloing from Bill Frizell on guitar, Wayne Horvitz on Hammond organ,
- Anthony Coleman on piano and Marty Ehritch on tenor sax as well as Zorn's
- alto appearing briefly on SHOP BOOGALOO. Paul Desmond's strings influences
- GOING TO DINNER.
- SEDUCTION is about the most complex track - a blues that runs through a
- series of mood changes cued precisely to on-screen actions. But it was
- never meant make the final cut of the film. The MAIN TITLE is a dense,
- driving piece that uses one of Ennio Morricone's favorite devices; the
- piano-bass ostinao, coupled with some great blowing by Wayne and Bill
- and a series of Bernard Herrmann-style minor triads that lead us to a
- pounding climax driven home by the dymnamic drumming of Bobby Previte.
- Quincy Jones score IN COLD BLOOD was also a reference here plays tribute
- to Zorns favorite sound-track heroes.
-
- In addition the harmonies of Josequin Desprez are evoked in the CATALINA
- monastery sequences and there's even a touch of Nino Rota in the DEATH
- WALTZ FANTASY and END TITLES. This soundtrack, and to a lesser extent
- WHITE AND LAZY is typical what Zorns muso colleagues call his Radio City
- style. A lot of the orchestration was a direct result of the equipment
- available at this beautiful sounding old-style studio, where Monk made
- of his Riverside recordings, and Albert Ayler taped "Music is the Healing
- Force of the Universe". The Hammond organ, tympani vibes, tubualar bells,
- harpischord, and the same celeste used on "PANNONICA" all fell into his
- musical malestorm and helped create pieces like SPILLANE, GODDARD, BLUES
- NOEL and of most the music on this album.
-
- The Studio is gone now, used for Business confererences and with it Zorn's
- Radio City sound. The old plate reverbs and long concrete echo chambers
- gave Zorn's mixes a special warmth. These tracks are not remixed as to
- preserve the music format.
