Zorn Commercials
by Dan Frank Kuehn 01 May '03

01 May '03

Sorry to leap into the fray way after the fact, but I was distracted. To bring the topic back "on": The Good the Bad and the Ugly" commissioned by McCann Erikson Ad Agency, for Camel cigarettes(but never used), on FilmWorks I ...and the 31 cues written for Weiden and Kennedy, for products that shall remain nameless, on Film Works III "I have a very special relationship with the commercial house of Weiden and Kennedy - when they need something off-the-wall, they call me. My deal is simple, but unheard of in the commercial music field. I never do demos - I never 'redo' anything. I do the job once - I do it the way I want - and I get paid whether they use the music or not. Hardly the description of a commercial sellout. Weiden and Kennedy is probably the only agency who would do such a thing. Most commercial houses find it impossible to trust an artist in this way, but Weiden and Kennedy has proved that one can work in the world of advertising and still retain one's integrity and creativity." JZ, from the liner notes of FW III And I may be mistaken, but didn't someone mention they'd heard some other Zorn in a commercial a couple years ago? Maybe not. Dan

RE: [off-topic] using songs for commercials
by Ajda the Turkish Queen 01 May '03

01 May '03

>As someone pointed out here, I do think there's a difference when a >multi-platinum act does this. Does Sting really need to be in a car >commercial? He probably doesn't need the money, right? Madonna and >Michael Jackson probably didn't need the money from soft drink companies >(but look what happened to them for their trouble). If John Zorn does >music for a commercial, I don't begrudge him that at all, especially if >this is used to fund his own work, Tzadik and other things that he's then >able to do. Hmmm...I have mixed feelings on this topic. But do I think the above posting reveals a little bit of a double-standard. I think we should remember that while these big artists may not need the money, they too (as much as we may dislike their music or status) are creative individuals who want their music heard and promoted. Why should only {more obscure} people like Zorn be excepted from criticism if they're doing the same things as Sting and Madonna??? Also, there are plenty of small acts on major labels who wouldn't have records if it weren't for the successes of major artists. Don't get me wrong; I'm definitely mostly pro-indie, anti-major but there's no denying the truth of this system. My 2 cents:) Ajda the Turkish Queen http://mp3.com/turkishqueen http://wmbr.org/schedesc.html#binge _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

Incredible String Band interview, Israeli experimental music
by Perfect Sound Forever 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

Greetings, In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever <http://www.perfectsoundforever.com>, you'll find (among other things): CAMERA OBSCURA RECORDS Aussie label is psyched With a roster that might as be culled from several other labels, Tony Dale has craved out an unique path for himself complete with drone-scapes, acid folk and reissues. Dave Lang interrogates him to find the secret to his (aesthetic) success. ISRAELI EXPERIMENTAL The facts about Fact Records Lest you think that the U.S. and Western Europe have the market cornered on experimental music, Fact Records proves that Istanbul isn't the only swinging locale in the Middle East to go out on a musical limb. Even with an uncertain future, Uri Shaham explores this vital scene. ROBIN WILLIAMSON Incredible String Man- interview Way back in the '60s, an English folk band that didn't quite act like a folk band but nevertheless helped to define the genre made waves not only in their own circle but also in the highbrow circles. Decades after their demise, the Incredible String Band has incredibly returned and one of their founders speaks to Richie Unterberger about their history. We're always looking for good writers and/or ideas so let us know if you have anything to share.
