New @ The Squid's Ear - Zorn Issue!
by zampino 07 Sep '03

07 Sep '03

NEW @ THE SQUID'S EAR As Tonic opens its doors to mark John Zorn's 50th birthday with a month of concerts, we've stopped the presses to take a look at the saxophonist and composer's career. In the new issue of "The Squid's Ear," we take a look at more than 30 years of Zorn recordings (including his home tapes at age 19 and his first appearance on a commercial recording, Frank Lowe's "Lowe and Behold"). We talk to Claudia Heuremann, whose documentary on Zorn has been screened in New York City and throughout Europe, and most importantly keep a keen eye on the goings-on during his birthday month. Check back regularly for reviews of the Tonic concerts, as well as new cds and other concerts around town. And go to the Gig List for a complete listing of the Zorn month and other performances around New York.

>===== Original Message From kev booyaka <ahairyscreaming(a)yahoo.com> ===== >do you mean, these sessions doesn't excist on CD or LP? that's a shame... Not on any officialy released CD, but these recordings circulate among collectors. I share them at Soulseek (www.slsk.org - site is having some problems I think, so try again later if it doesn't work).

Kaospad (was: Re: NYC-tonic)

> i was actually looking a korg's kaospad a few months ago. they weren't expensive either. > Mike Patton is the second one i've heard using it. i saw Radiohead's guitarist use it during a TV live show once before. > looked like fun. thanks Tim :) I actually saw that Radiohead performance on MTV yesterday evening, and if a Kaospad is what I think it is (the guitarist used it during "Everything In It's Right Place", it's a small square pad with an orange-colored touchscreen and some knobs), then another artist who I've seen using it is KK Null during his solo performances.
