Thought some listmembers would find this interesting. Criterion is releasing "The Tin Drum" in May in a 2 dvd set. The second disc has this feature: The Platform, a rare 1987 German recording of Günter Grass reading an excerpt from his novel The Tin Drum, accompanied by the music of famed improvisational percussionist Günter Baby Sommer Ben _________________________________________________________________ Get a FREE online computer virus scan from McAfee when you click here. http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963

Brotzmann / Die Like a dog 3 Boston / Tzadik Web stuff
by Rich Ladew 05 Mar '04

05 Mar '04

Anyone going to this Brotzmann / Parker / Drake event put on by the Boston Creative Music Alliance Sat March 6, 2004 from the zorn-list? How bout Patton / Rahzel (4/9) and Fantomas in Boston?? We should meet up for coffee or whatever substances zorn-listers put in their bodies these days. Ill try and wear my Ornette Coleman "Dancing In your Head T-Shirt...." for the Brotzmann BTW: DTMG has copies of Hemophiliac left, so don't get anally raped on ebay for 100 bucks plus. DTMG raised the price about $15 USD, but it is still available... I agree w/ Efren... why no mention of the DVD and other known projects on the Tzadik website? I'm so tired of waiting so long for updates and when they do happen, they don't mention half the things that are in the works... Oh well the final product IS what we ultimately are concerned about.. just a geeky gripe :) NP: Ministry "A Mind is a terrible..." Rich Ladew r.richardladew(a)comcast.net

But Toop I think is a much >more interesting writer - Morley I think is fascinated by the sheen >and the plastic aspects of pop music. Definitely agree here. Simon Reynolds had recommended this so I thought it was worth seeing at least. In the beginning, Morley tries to tie Alvin Lucier's "I Am Sitting In A Room" with a Kylie Minogue hit. He gets a hernia trying to do this though and the connections he makes could be applied to any piece of music out there (which means that it's not much of an insight). I'd recommend that anyone read Simon Frith instead if they want some kind of brainy analysis of pop culture.

craig taborn : junk magic
by jason tors 05 Mar '04

05 Mar '04

really excited to hear a bit of this. Dave king blows me away. from the thirsty ear website Craig Taborn - Junk Magic Release Date: April 20, 2004 with Mat Maneri on viola, Aaron Stewart on tenor saxophone, and David King of the Bad Plus on drums Craig Taborn has blossomed into one of the most sought-after and well-respected jazz pianists working today,with CMJ declaring him "the future of jazz." With 'Junk Magic' it is clear why. Taborn's vision is impossible to nail down. In addition to playing keyboards and composing, he programmed and produced the entire album, incorporating elements of Detroit techno, abstract laptop electronica, breakbeat-influenced cut-up drum programming, mysterious ambience and, of course, masterful free-jazz. The result is possibly the most fully-realized union of jazz and electronics to date. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Live Fantômas
by Ken Bodek 05 Mar '04

05 Mar '04

Anyone have any good recordings and would be interested in a small trade? I'm thinking about making the trip down to see them in Boston but it's a decently far drive for me (4 hours) and a weeknight when I need to be back in VT for work the next morning so I'm a little leary of making the trip without ever hearing them. If it was closer or on a weekend it wouldn't matter, I'd just go anyway. There's a link to my list in my signature.

Zony Mash Live 2003 CD (fwd)
by William W. Schonbein 05 Mar '04

05 Mar '04

Hello folks The following came over the seldom-active wayne horvitz email list, and I figured I would pass it along as there may be some horvitz fans here. (I notice also that the label Horvitz mentions has a live recording of Vinicius Cantuaria that looks interesting....) -whit ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 03 Mar 2004 17:39:48 -0800 From: waynehorvitz.com <contact(a)waynehorvitz.com> To: Whit Schonbein <wwschonb(a)artsci.wustl.edu> Subject: Zony Mash Live 2003 CD Hello everyone, I dont usually write these announcements personally but I wanted to make sure you know about the recently released Zony Mash Live CD, recorded last December at our two final shows. Like just about everything with Zony Mash from the early days on, this recording happened virtually by accident. Brady Lahr, who runs Kufula records, called me from LA and asked me if he could record a concert last fall at the Skirball Center. It was a double bill of Sweeter Than The Day and Robin Holcomb. I declined, mostly because I want to do a Sweeter Than the Day Live record over a few evenings in the near future. I did mention though that I would be thrilled if he would come up to Seattle and record the final two nights of Zony Mash. I had been thinking of doing this anyway but I had given up on the idea due to all the logistical considerations. Im now happy to say that the end result is in my opinion the best record the band ever made, and a great finish to an eight-year long project. Mell Detmer, who has been doing our live sound for years and is also a great recording engineer recorded and mixed the shows. I should clarify that the mixes are essentially glorified rough mixes. We had over five hours of music, and even after whittling it down to 160 minutes we werent about to detail every little moment. Mell got great sounds and mixed it with a real live feel that Im very happy with. No mistakes are fixed. Its really warts and all. Although there are takes from both nights, the vast majority of the music comes from the second night, and a lot of the transitions and set order are exactly as they happened at the shows. Besides great versions of classic Zony Mash tunes there are three new tunes that have never appeared on CD Also included are electric versions of Sweeter Than the Day repertoire and a great take of Tim Youngs Diggin Bones. This song has also never appeared on a Zony Mash CD. Two years ago we recorded Live in Seattle for the Liquid City label. In six nights of recording I worked hard to find 60 minutes I was really happy with. In this recording though I had a very difficult time whittling it down to just 160 minutes. The Kufala set is two CDs, each with 80 minutes. Even at that I had to toss at least four tunes that would have otherwise made the grade. Kufula is a live only label that only sells its product on order via the internet and at live shows. You can visit our page at their website at http://www.kufala.com/artist/show.php?catnum=58 Ive also written some liner notes that go along with this set. You can see them in the Speech section at www.waynehorvitz.com. WH
