RICHARD PINHAS and MERZBOW - *KEIO LINE*  – (Rune 278/279)  – 2 x CDs  –

FILE UNDER: ROCK / ELECTRONIC / NOISE

  

When two of the best-known figures in electronic rock music today – France’s Richard Pinhas and Japan’s Merzbow – joined their formidable sonic forces “in a strange studio at the end of the metro Keio Line”, their combined sonic chemistry proved to be magic. With Pinhas on guitar and electronics/looping, and Merzbow on electronics and noise, the duo spent two days creating recordings that were later mixed under Pinhas’ supervision during “a fabulous month at the end of 2007, in a dreamland space between TOKYO and Paris”. The result of their collaboration is released  here, by Cuneiform, as the double-CD Keio Line – the first-ever Pinhas/Merzbow recording. Containing six tracks of ambient soundscapes captured on two discs, Keio Line blurs the lines between electronic and electric, virtual and real, music and noise, and dreams and consciousness.  The music is pure sonic alchemy: violent and soothing, hypnotic and noisy, trance-inducing and seductive.  Recording “everything fully LIVE, at the extremities of our living forces and pulsations”, and then remixing that embryonic material in France, Pinhas and Merzbow  create  a technologically  sophisticated electronic music infused with organic power, raw energy and human emotion,  a 21st century music that melds man and machine.

Masami Akita, aka Merzbow, is considered to be the originator of Japanese noise music, and is probably the single best-known noise artist worldwide.  Active in music since 1979, using the name ‘Merzbow’ to align his projects with Dada movement aesthetics, he is described by Musique Machine as “always pushing the limits of noise and music, so the line between the two blurs”.  Extremely prolific, he has recorded  and released over 250 CDs, including a 50 CD set, Merzbox; an infamous art-piece consisting of a continually-playing Noisembryo CD packaged inside a Mercedes 230 in a “limited edition of 1”; and the soundtrack to a bondage performance. 

A composer, world-class guitarist and electronics innovator, Richard Pinhas is a key figure in the international development of electronic rock music and remains today one of France’s leading experimental musicians. He is recognized as the father of an entire musical movement in France (analogous to Tangerine Dream’s role in Germany) for his pioneering work in the 1970s with his band Heldon, which fused electronics, “diabolical  guitar work” and rock to create a pioneering, aggressive music that was a precursor to the industrial music and techno to come. All of his early recordings have been reissued by Cuneiform in a major Heldon/Pinhas CD reissue project that began in 1991 and continues today.  Resonating strongly with today’s artists, Pinhas’ early work has been sampled by U.N.K.L.E.(Never,Never,Land, Island 2003), Pete Namlook/Bill Laswell, and other artists, and included in a Four Tet DJ compilation (DJ-Kicks, !K7, 2006).  Continually innovative, Pinhas has been experimenting with a system of guitar and electronics processing since the 1990s, releasing a series of new works on Cuneiform that, in the words of one critic, "proves that he is still active, and vital to the future of electronic music."

On November  12, 2008 MERZBOW+RICHARD PINHAS will perform in Paris at  "Les Instants Chavirés"

“Richard Pinhas is still a force in world music today…his music has the emotive depth that most other electronauts hardly begin to grapple with. Add to this its other attributes: alien atmospheres, futuristic imagery, feelings of the mystery of technology, precise clinical production, belief in creative and political revolution, an obscure intellectual base and references to science fiction…then there is a musical force that has little or no rival.”      – *Audion*

"Think of those artists who overpowered the grind of their eras: Bach, Wagner, Miles Davis, The Beatles -- all of these people were consistently displaced of their time by the striking originality of their work, and yet were quintes-sentially "then". This is rare, indeed, and there is a case for including Masami Akita (a.k.a. Merzbow) in such a group. On the one hand, he is merely the brightest fire in an eclectic, almost anarchic Japanese music scene. On the other, Merzbow's music shatters scenes and precedents. Masami Akita is his own context, and listeners enter that world at their own risk."  – *Pitchfork*

THE MICROSCOPIC SEPTET - *LOBSTER LEAPS IN* – (Rune 272) – CD –  FILE UNDER:  JAZZ

The Microscopic Septet is most widely known among the American public for its theme song to NPR’s popular interview show “Fresh Air with Terry Gross;” the catchy, film-noir tune is broadcast daily on stations across America since 1990, and may well be “the most-aired jazz work in the world.” [Audiophile Audition]. During the group’s initial lifetime from 1980-1992, the “Micros” remained an in-house secret among the New York City jazz world, who embraced them as "New York's Most Famous Unknown Band." The group started with a basic reeds-and-rhythm texture (soprano, alto, tenor and baritone sax, piano, bass and drums) that was sonically similar to the sound of the Swing Era. However, they employed these textures to address a widely eclectic range of styles, from free-form music to R&B, rhumbas and ragtime. The result was a brilliant blend of fresh-sounding orchestration and inspired soloing. Beloved in New York, where they generally drew capacity crowds, "The Micros" were one of the most celebrated of the many cutting-edge units associated with experimental music's best-known venue, the Knitting Factory, during the peak years of the "Downtown" music movement in the late '80s and early '90s.

In 2006, Cuneiform released a major Microscopic Septet retrospective, as two double-CD sets: History of the Micros, Vol. 1 – Seven Men in Neckties, and History of the Micros, Vol. 2 – Surrealistic Swing. The retrospective contained the sole four albums that the Micros recorded in their lifetime. Celebrating these releases, the Micros reunited to play several shows in the Northeast US. They had such a good time playing together that they decided to make the Micros an 'occasional regular thing'.  In 2007, the Micros did a well-received, two week tour of Europe before returning to New York to record their first release in 20 years, *Lobster Leaps In*.

Microscopic Septet co-leaders Phillip Johnston and Joel Forrester were prolific composers; by the time the Micros disbanded, in 1992, it had a songbook of over 180 tunes.  Only 34 of those were recorded and released in the band’s lifetime. This new recording, Lobster Leaps In, features 11 previously unrecorded Micros’ tunes that delighted audiences during the band’s initial dozen year reign on NYC’s club stages. 

 “Oh, how we’ve missed the Microscopic Septet! Back in the early 1980s, when jazz, on all aesthetic levels, seemed to be resolidifying its connection with its heritage, these wild and wooly virtuosos leapt into the breach between “outside” and “inside” jazz and made a cheerful shambles. They were as clever as the Beatles, as subversive as Captain Beefheart, as antic as Spike Jones. Did I mention that they were – and are – more fun than any other well-dressed jazz ensemble in the western world? …fans still light candles for their return. …Hurry back, fellows, won’t  you? The uptown neoclassicists still have a lot to learn from you downtown pranksters.”            – Gene Seymour, *Newsday: The Long Island Newspaper,*June 13, 2000

“The bottom line is this: time has been kind to this antic gang of jazzifying tooters. The band is even better and more musically serious than I remember. It is as if the times finally caught up to the Micros, with heaping doses of jazz musicians finally realizing what this septet knew as far back as Reagan’s inaugural—that jazz lives most fully when it’s celebrating and having fun, dicing and razor-slicing American musical history with aplomb... …these guys were important, plus they might all don a fez and march through the audience while playing.”           – Will Layman, *PopMatters,* Jan. 12, 2007

ISOTOPE - *GOLDEN SECTION* – (Rune 273)  –  CD – FILE UNDER: ROCK/JAZZ-ROCK

The group Isotope was part of a second generation of  British jazz-rock which flourished in the 1970s,  taking inspiration from both sides of the Atlantic to forge a transatlantic jazz-rock sound that was distinctly its own.  It was formed in 1972 by British guitarist Gary Boyle, who had played with Dusty Springfield, Julie Driscoll and Brian Auger and the Trinity, as well as with such Brit-jazzers as Mike Gibbs, Keith Tippett and Mike Westbrook.  Isotope signed with a large U.K. management company and the Gull label, owned by British Lion Films, and immediately began playing constantly - 4-5 times per week at clubs throughout England and Europe.  In May, 1974, bassist and composer Hugh Hopper, formerly of Soft Machine, joined the group and stayed nearly 2 years. The band dissolved in 1976.

Golden Section is the first Isotope release by the American label, Cuneiform, and the first archival Isotope release to feature material dating from the period when Hopper was a member  and lent his strongly distinctive style to the group.  The lineup on Golden Section includes Gary Boyle - guitar, Hugh Hopper - bass, Nigel Morris - drums, Laurence Scott - keyboards, with Aureo de Souza added on percussion on half of the program. It contains over 65' of previously unreleased, live Isotope recordings from 1974-1975, which  come from 3 different  dates;  more than half are from a Radio Bremen recording made for German broadcast.  The Radio Bremen recordings  are the only existing recordings of Isotope with percussionist Aureo de Souza, who played with the group for several months during spring/summer 1975, adding a Weather Report-inspired flair to its sound. In addition to the music, Golden Section includes a 12 page booklet featuring liner notes music historian Aymeric Leroy. Containing exclusive interviews of Isotope’s members  and previously unpublished historical photographs of the band,  the booklet  comprehensively documents  the period covered by these recordings  while providing an historical overview of the band.

Early jazz-rock is being rediscovered by a whole new, young audience and Isotope were one of the major British jazz-rock bands of the 1970s, alongside contemporaries such as: Brand X, Bruford, Nucleus, Soft Machine.

“We played a lot of gigs with Isotope, touring all the time in UK and Europe and once in the States. The band had good sponsorship and backing, and jazz-rock was almost desirable for a few months in 1974-75! We were playing at least four or five times a week, all the time. Isotope certainly was good for me from the point of view of doing a lot of music. Since we were  gigging so much, I was probably playing with more technical facility than when I was in Soft Machine.” - Hugh Hopper

For fans of: Brand X, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever, Soft Machine, and Weather Report.

BIRDSONGS OF THE MESOZOIC - DAWN OF THE  CYCADS – (Rune 274/275) – 2 x CDs –

FILE UNDER: ROCK / NEW MUSIC

Birdsongs of the Mesozoic,“the world’s hardest rocking chamber quartet” [New York Times], began nearly 30 years ago as a more classical/New Music, keyboard-oriented  side project  of Boston’s famed post-punk rock band, Mission of Burma. Desiring an outlet for his piano music, in 1980, Burma’s guitarist Roger Miller embarked on a collaboration with keyboardist  and studio producer Erik Lindgren, the former composer  and  keyboardist of Moving Parts, the Boston art-punk band that had spawned Burma. Birdsong's lineup was finalized when Miller invited “tape-manipulator-turned–guitarist”  Martin Swope, his co-member in Burma, and keyboardist Rick Scott on board. In 1983, Birdsongs signed with Ace of Hearts, the Boston label to which Burma was signed, and released a self-titled EP.   In mid-1983, Miller’s tinnitus led to the demise of high-decibel  Mission Of Burma, and Birdsongs Of The Mesozoic became a full time band for all members.  Ace of Hearts released Birdsongs'  2nd lp in 1985, called *Magnetic Flip*, and  the following year it released  *Beat Of The Mesozoic.*  Miller left  the band under very friendly terms in 1987 to devote his time to a solo career (and nearly two decades later to eventually resuscitate Mission of Burma).

*Dawn of the Cycads* reissues on CD all of Birdsongs' recordings for Boston’s Ace of Hearts label, in newly remastered sound. Subtitled The Complete Ace of Hearts Recordings (1983-1987), it is the first-ever comprehensive  reissue of those recordings in their entirety and in their original order. In addition to the Ace of Hearts music, *Dawn of the Cycads*  also includes  more than 45' of previously unreleased bonus material (on two studio and seven live tracks). In addition, it contains  an 18 page booklet providing  a history of the band’s Ace of Hearts years, in liner notes written by band members Erik Lindgren, Roger Miller and Rick Scott (Lindgren and Scott remain in Birdsong’s lineup today) and former roadie (now Andy Warhol Museum board member) Jay Reeg, and numerous historical photographs and art works. Also included on the second disc are graphic files of various photos and documents which are viewable on any computer.Produced by Ace of Hearts’ owner, Richard W. Harte,  Dawn of the Cycads: The Complete Ace of Hearts Recordings (1983-1987) is a lovingly assembled and beautifully-designed retrospective of an extremely exciting, 4-year period in Birdsongs of the Mesozoic’s early career.

“Even at its most dissonant and aggressive, this roiling, polyrthymic music is informed by a wry, whimsical character rare in art rock and entirely absent from the minimalism of Glass and Reich….Birdsongs of the Mesozoic’s percussive, stroboscopic strain of minimalism, with all its rocky edges intact.”  – Michael Draine, i/e

 

“…if you’re open-minded enough to stack Fripp, Pere Ubu, Philip Glass and John Cage in the same changes, then this disc may appeal to you.” – Don Labriola, Buzzz

DEUS EX MACHINA -  *IMPARIS*  – (Rune 259-260)  – CD + NTSC (all region) DVD  –

                              FILE UNDER: ROCK / PROGRESSIVE ROCK

One of the finest avant-progressive rock bands in the world today,  Deus Ex Machina has carved out an enviable reputation with its high energy live shows and critically acclaimed albums.  Founded in 1985, The Italian band is a sextet of top notch musicians –“There are no weak links in this band.”[Exposé]– including Alessandro Bonetti (violin), Fabrizio Puglisi (Hammond organ/Fender Rhodes piano/Arp Odyssey synth), Maurino Collina (guitar), Alessandro Porreca (bass), Claudio Trotta (drums), and vocalist Alberto Piras. The band’s music is a unique and unequaled blend of aggressive jazz-rock mixed with complex rhythms, 1970s-style hard-rock guitar and hints of Rock In Opposition-style avant-progressive rock, all topped by the incredible vocals of Alberto Piras, one of the most extraordinary vocalists working in rock today.

Imparis  is a double-disc release that includes  Deus Ex Machina’s  6th studio album and the band's first-ever DVD. Its title is a pun that combines where the release was recorded (in performance at Le Triton “in Paris”, in summer 2006), and their penchant for Latin terminology; in Latin, “imparis” means  “asymmetrical”. The CD contains 6 tracks of new material, featuring Piras’ ever-magnificent vocals and the band’s impressive musicianship; the songs’ lyrics are printed in an accompanying booklet, in both their original language and in English. The DVD contains three main groups of material: the 2006 concert at Le Triton (featuring the band live performing two songs each from its albums Equilibrismo Da Insofferenza, Cinque and Imparis); interviews; and historical video and film footage of past shows.  In addition to the 2006 professional live footage from Le Triton, there are extras, including some fascinating historical footage from the early and mid-1990s. Featured is an interview segment (subtitled in English and with a lot of historical information); a short, fascinating, avant-garde prepared piano performance by Puglisi of one of the album's works; a charmingly dated rock video for a song off of the band's second album; excerpts from their second US appearance; and a completely over-the-top performance that Deus Ex Machina gave on a Italian TV program from 1996. Imparis offers a fascinating, multi-faceted overview of one of the boldest, musically diverse, and truly “progressive “ bands in Italy and the international world of modern progressive rock.

“Driving, aggressive fusion mixed with wickedly complex rhythms, hints of R.I.O. and avant-garde sounds, and Alberto Piras’ unbelievable vocal skills...essential.” – Exposé

We'll be performing our final shows of the year on Tuesday October 14 at the Knitting Factory in NYC and Wednesday October 15 at the Middle East in Cambridge. This fall we're busy recording and mixing our new album Boy From Black Mountain, and Jordan and Gavin will be having babies in November. So needless to say we're going to be preoccupied for a while! We're excited about the opportunity to see the fans again and play these last two shows of the year. We have a bunch of new songs introduced before the Black Mountain sessions we plan to debut at these shows.  More information on our website.

Boy From Black Mountain update 

We just finished the first round of recording basics, string trio pieces, and guitar and string overdubs for our next album Boy From Black Mountain at Camp Street Studios [] with producer Sean Slade and Adam Taylor. Things are taking shape very nicely. We recorded 18 pieces -- 11 songs and 7 instrumental pieces. Our next round of recording happens in September when we'll overdub lead vocals, background vocals, brass, and choir parts. See photos from the August session here. []

Birdsongs of the Mesozoic

Notes from the Mesozoic

September 2008

PERFORMANCES

Birdsongs is currently rehearsing a new 5-movement suite by noted African-American composer T. J. Anderson. The piece is entitled BirdSongs, and it was composed for Birdsongs with voice and jazz drums. Keyboardist Carol Namkoong is filling in for Birdsongs synthesist Rick Scott for the premiere performance, which will take place at Tufts University's brand new Distler Performance Hall on Sunday, October 5 at 3pm as part of a series of concerts celebrating Anderson's 80th birthday. Soprano D'Anna Fortunato will be singing the text. This exciting performance is doubly so because Birdsongs' member Erik Lindgren studied with Anderson while attending Tufts University in the 1970's. Lindgren's 1973/74 composition Introduction and Rag, dedicated to Anderson, will be performed by Tufts' pianist John McDonald at a concert for T. J. on Saturday, October 4 at 8pm. There is information about these events at .

"DAWN OF THE CYCADS"

The group is also excited about their 2-CD archival release on Cuneiform, Dawn of the Cycads, which includes their complete Ace of Hearts recordings circa 1983 - '87 plus unreleased bonus material. The compilation includes their three vinyl outings, "EP" (1983), "Magnetic Flip (1985), and "Beat of the Mesozoic" (1986), and is a vast upgrade from their "Sonic Geology" retrospective that was released by Rykodisc in 1988. The package also includes encoded graphics (flyers, tour itineraries, "Misinformation Sheets," dioramas, etc) on disc #2 which is a mixed-format CD.  There are plans for the original line-up, featuring pianist Roger Miller, synthesist Erik Lindgren, and keyboardist Rick Scott (with current Birdsongs guitarist Michael Bierylo filling in for Martin Swope) to do a few select live shows in NYC, Boston, and Washington DC this fall. The group is looking into the possibility of using vintage equipment on those dates and cranking out the Memorymoog, Compu-rhythm CR-78 drum machine, Farfisa organ, etc. for a truly analog experience!

OTHER NEWS

Ken Field's original score for the Bridgman/Packer Dance piece Under the Skin was performed recently in Austin (TX). Upcoming performances include Potsdam (NY) Oct 21, Albany (NY) Oct 25, and Munich (Germany) Nov 3/4.

Doctor Nerve

Nick Didkovsky continues to write new material for Doctor Nerve, and recently acquired a 1967 Gibson SG which his friends are getting sick of hearing about. Still we cannot help but wonder what effect the guitar which in the hands of Tony Iommi was used to create heavy metal will have on the new Nerve tunes.

Nick's Ice Cream Time project with ARTE Sax Quartet and Tom Dimuzio is going to tour Europe in November.

Nick recently returned from Belfast where he presented a paper on "MaxScore" at the International Computer Music Conference. If you use the computer music program MaxMSP, you can now do common music notation with this new object, visit

The fabulous Dither Electric Guitar Quartet recently performed a bunch of Nick's pieces to a packed house in a cool new music space in Williamsburg called Listen/Space

As always: and is where you can keep up with the latest.

Gayle Ellett (Djam Karet)

Press Release for the music group FERNWOOD

Djam Karet’s Gayle Ellett has a new side-group called FERNWOOD. Their debut release “Almeria” has recently been getting rave reviews in the national and international press. GUITAR PLAYER Magazine (June issue) described their music as “Wonderfully melodic, expertly layered, masterfully interwoven, and luscious yet rootsy”. RECORDING Magazine said “The writing, arranging and performances are of the highest order. This release is something special to our ears. Highly Recomended". The DUTCH PROGRESSIVE ROCK PAGE said “An enchanting, beautiful and captivating aural pleasure. 9 out of 10 points”.

They have been getting great radio play on NPR Radio, and ECHOES Radio, which has picked them as “Top 25 CD Of The Month” for the past six months, and their DJ John Diliberto is flying to Los Angeles to record FERNWOOD as part of his “Living Room Concert Series”.

Currently, the group is hard at work on a second release due out in early 2009. Their music is available at Wayside, CD Baby, I-Tunes and other outlets. You can read more about the group, and hear their music at Fernwood

Forrest Fang

 

A new CD side project by Forrest Fang under the project name "Sans Serif" was released on the Hypnos Secret Sounds label in July 2008.  The CD is called "Tones for La Monte" and was inspired by the harmonic drones of La Monte Young.  The CD will soon be available through Wayside Music.

Fast ‘N’ Bulbous

In May 2008, Fast ‘N’ Bulbous recorded it’s second CD, Waxed Oop, to be released on Cuneiform Records in January of 2009. A strong departure from their first CD, Waxed Oops, ranges from Gary Lucas’ solo National Steel guitar version of “Sure ‘Nuff ‘N’ Yes I Do,” to a full band arrangement of Don van Vliet’s solo sea chantey, “Well.” It also includes the first FnB delving into “Lick My Deacls Off, Baby,” and features a bonus track with guest vocalist Robyn Hitchcock.

Just prior to the recording, they did a tribute concert to Captain Beefheart at New York’s Knitting Factory, curated by Gary Lucas, which featured little-known video clips and recordings, and readings and reminiscences by many special guests, including Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo, Suicide's Alan Vega, Kurt Loder, and David Lynch (via video).

You can watch a podcast of highlights from the show at:

You can also watch a clip on YouTube, of Gary and Robyn performing “Sure ‘Nuff ‘N’ Yes I Do” at the same event.

Fast ‘N’ Bulbous will be appearing in the US and Europe in March of 2009.

Visit Fast ‘N’ Bulbous online for YouTube videos and audio from the new recording.





Forgas Band Phenomena

As of writing (mid September), the band are about to embark on their first foreign concert ever - in Seoul, South Korea, no less! The Forgas Band are representing France in the 2008 edition of a major festival in Guro, a district of the Korean capital. Previous editions of this free event had over 10,000 in attendance.

This performance is yet another milestone in a very eventful year for the band, who early in the summer recorded their new album "L'Axe du Fou" / "Axis of Madness" for release on Cuneiform Records in January, 2009. In contrast to 2005's "Soleil 12" which for a large part used old material, this was all composed by drummer/leader Patrick Forgas in the last three years.

This was actually the FBP's second studio session this year; in February they recorded a cover version of Christian Vander's "Africa Anteria" (originally on 1971's Uniweria Zekt album) for "Hur", the sequel to Alain Juliac's acclaimed Magma tribute project "Hamtai", due for release later this year.

We hope to celebrate the release of the new CD with a concert in Paris (details tba). The other confirmed concert date is the Chateau d'Auvers-sur-Oise on April 4, 2009. Obviously the band very much hope to follow up their Korean debut with other performances abroad and will happily consider any offers to perform at venues and festivals worldwide!

Hamster Theatre

We have a new bass layer (surprise!) and we have our first gig with him on November 1st at the Laughing Goat, 1709 Pearl Street in Boulder Colorado at 8:30.

Our new bass player is John Grigsby, and he's also a very gifted animator. You can see his work on youtube if you search "Grigsby animation."

Slowly, we are preparing a new cd. There have been whispers that Elaine diFalco will be writing a tune with Mark Harris in mind. The world halts.

Richard Leo Johnson

Richard is working on the final aspects of his next release based on yet another fictional character named Duval Rey.

Duval was a blind Creole street musician (one man band) in New Orleans. He encountered Vernon McAlister while performing on the street on a day in the early 1950s.

Duval was inspired by the brief encounter to compose a song cycle which transcends genre or convention.

The album will be a solo effort as a one man band with the primary instrument an antique tenor banjo.

The CD should be finished and mastered by Spring of 2009.

Richard is also having an exhibit of photographs from the Yucatan in Savannah GA., from Sept 27th until mid Oct. at Chroma Gallery.

Here is a link.



He composed and recorded original music for the opening event and will perform live as well.

The Microscopic Septet

Sept 2008: Cuneiform releases Lobster Leaps In, the first newly recorded Micros CD since 1998’s Beauty Based On Science. Fresh of a string of one-niters in Europe, the band went into the studio and recorded a set of classic Micros tunes, spanning the 12 years of their original incarnation, from “Almost Right” (number 3 in the Micros book) to more experimental tunes like “The Big Squeeze.” Long-time Micros fans celebrate the first new release in 20 years!

They will be re-reuniting and on the road again in Nov 2009.

Visit the Micros online for YouTube videos and audio from the new recording.





For those "in the know" we are offering a special Micros/Lobster Leaps In Artist Statement/History page, which tells the tale of how this CD came to be, and features additional mp3s from live recordings from gigs at venues like the (original) Knitting Factory, & the Village Gate. These are exclusively Micros "oddities" and will be changed from time to time.

Check it out: 

The Muffins

"THE MUFFINS currently have not one, but 2 new CDS in process now.  THE MUFFINS are hoping to play at a NORTH AMERICAN festival during 2009 in addition to the RIO Festival in France on April 17.

Ask your favorite festival to book The Muffins - email paul@ for more information"

Planeta Imaginario

Planeta Imaginario is looking for a manager, and people who would be interested in booking us for concerts outside of Spain. We are working on new songs for our next album we have the February/March as the ideal date. (We are going to record with the great Bob Drake.)

Some members of P.I. are playing in a band which plays the music of Frank Zappa, that will play around Spain in the next months.

Radio Massacre International

Are busy preparing for their headline appearance at E-Live in Eindhoven,Netherlands on Saturday 11th October. 

 

Steve Dinsdale has been busy recording drums for a Martin Archer project, and also taking part in the August Moon Jams in Sheffield, meeting some great free improvisors in the process.

Revolutionary Snake Ensemble

Revolutionary News - September 2008

FORKED TONGUE

Revolutionary Snake Ensemble's 2nd CD Forked Tongue was released in May to resounding critical and radio acclaim. The disc was on the CMJ North American jazz top 20 chart for 2 months, peaking at #11, and has enjoyed a remarkable run of great reviews. In addition to extensive Canadian and American press and radio, the CD has been the subject of reviews, feature articles, and interviews so far in Switzerland, The Netherlands, Germany, Argentina, and elsewhere.

Recent performances have included the Institute of Contemporary Art (Boston), the Providence Sound Session, and the Sterling Stage Last Daze of Summer festival near Syracuse.

"The music is what counts, and Forked Tongue demonstrates why the Revolutionary Snake Ensemble matters."

Steve Greenlee, JazzTimes

"If the wailing vigil of Down By the Riverside doesn't rake your spine, chances are you don't have one...It's quite possibly the most convincing treatment of New Orleans by a non-native since Hugh Masakela's Goin' Back to New Orleans...If [Field]'s not re-arranging some holy chestnut, he's dreaming up freaky, wind-jamming floor monsters like The Large S."

Brendon Griffin, PopMatters

"Imaginative arrangements...make up the lion's share of the album but it is the four original tunes by leader/altoist Ken Field that really shine! A really appealing listen."

ZNR

"Touches all the right cornerstones of jazz, but also funks my socks off."

Kyle Press, WKDU Philadelphia

"Can't stop playing this crazy CD over and over again. Doctor, is there an antidote? I'm having visions of Mardi Gras parties out of control. They call it a brass band, but there must be some voodoo in this music."

Ted Gioia,

"Something quite original in the world of jazz and beyond."

Kory Cook, KUT Radio, Austin, TX

NIGHT LIFE PICK OF THE WEEK:

"OUT OF LEFT FIELD: The Revolutionary Snake Ensemble, a writhing, horn-heavy group led by the Boston-based saxophonist and composer Ken Field, dresses in feathered masks and sequined robes and covers a broad range of funk- and New Orleans-inspired music... The group puts a funky spin on everything from Billy Idol to Ornette Coleman."

Upsilon Acrux

As of today we are in the midst of recording our latest for Cuneiform, it's tentatively called "Radian Futura" and will feature a song  that's very close to 30 minutes long among other things. That has already been recorded and sounds  really fucking good to me. Better at this stage than any other recordings we've done. This recording is being done at Infrasonic in Alhambra, CA like the last one but this time Pete is engineering it. This album should be out in May '09 .

We have one more show before we take a long hiatus... Oct 4th, Eagle Rock Music Festival, it's free and there are a lot of good bands playing, I think we go on at 7:30pm so if there are any of those Cuneiform people in LA, I've not met any? Strange??

We are definitely coming to Europe in 2009, most likely May so anyone w/ a festival that needs something different and will pay, we are available. Bands in Europe that want to do shows together or tour a country together, get in touch!!!!

Volapük

1) We made a very nice and positive tour last April in Eastern Europe (11 concerts in Czech Republic, Slovakia, but also Austria and Italy).

2) The group just decided some days ago to work on a new "composed" program (after our improvised tour of April 2008)

3) Our upcoming concerts will be in France :

-February 22nd "Festival de Chabeuil" (Chabeuil/Drôme).

-May 31st Festival "Sons Dessus Dessous" (Vaucluse)

Some more concerts are on the point to be fixed this coming season (like 1 in Rennes for the 20th anniversary of the french label In-Poly-Sons).

4) Volapük is seriously thinking to record a new album. It should be done in the nex year, we hope...

5) Volapük will appear soon on a compilation realised in Eindhoven (The "Stichting Jazz Power" of Eindhoven is doing this compilation for its 30th anniversary).The piece who will appear on this compilation was recorded in 1999 at the Wilhelmina Café in Eindhoven, called "Rondo" and never edited before.

YANG

 

The band hopes to be able to release (at last) its last recording : "Machines" before 2009. If not, it will be released for sure in 2009. For any inquiry about this release, and about booking and upcoming concert or simply for saying that you love them, please contact the band via its Myspace yanggroup or Youtube  (the band is currently looking for dates anywhere in Europe from March), there is a new live performance video there.

 

Frédéric L'Epée is founding a new band in Paris. The line up is 2 guitars, 1 saz (turkish lute), accordion, percussions, and maybe a brass instrument.

He has completed the composition of a new piece for electric guitar and accordion : "The end of the dream ( 3rd duo)", ordered by the duo Jörgen Brilling and Uwe Mahnken. The musicians begin rehearsals now. The first performance is planned for April 2009.

 

Laurent James is currently rehearsing with the new line up of Lord of Mushrooms (prog-metal), preparing a China tour in October.
