Expect a lot of short vignettes of a Kafka-esque variety. A very interesting recording and completely unlike anything he's done before. Quite humorous as well. Mark Feldman is on violin, Jacqueline Leclair on oboe and English horn, Michael Mosser on cello, Meredith Yayanos on violin, Raph Farris, viola, Erich Schoen-Rene, cello, and Ann De Villiers provides the mocking and erotic vocal interludes. I recommend it. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx

Though I wasn't there, I'd read Voice Crack's inclusion of voices about Sept. 11 as the manner in which certain events and the sound productions surrounding them as visceral intrusions into aural experience, whether one is aware of them or not. No producer of sounds can really avoid them, and certain sounds, certain words, become like refrains that keep reminding one of the event that just took place. Such sounds also accompany certain emotional reactions, as you noted, like for example, my feeling of nausea when I recall Dubya's bifurcation of the world into being for "us" or for "the terrorists" in his Houston ranch accent. that's where I see the "refrain" intervening in the "narrative" of electroacoustic music. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx

jumping beans as performers of avant music?
by Patrice L. Roussel 20 May '02

20 May '02

This should solve the problem of dealing with musician unions. At least for the moment, jumping beans are not socially covered and lower standards of treatment can apply to them. Another proof that there are a lot of social advances needed in this new century :-). Patrice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HET APOLLOHUIS (NETHERLANDS): PANHUYSEN, PAUL: Mexican Jumping Beans CD (APOLLO 16). Four pieces recorded with Mexican Jumping Beans by Paul Panhuysen. "Before leaving Mexico City I bought 200 jumping beans and immediately after our return to Eindhoven I started to experiment with them. In the past I've worked often with animals, with birds, crickets and goats. I also use sensors, timers, solenoids, motors, galvano-meters, solar cells and oscillators to produce sounds. In my music I introduce both creatures and gadgets as independent and sometimes unpredictable musicians and fellow employees. I like to be surprised by the results of my productions, by the animals' behavior. The input of such rather autonomous elements helps to reveal the qualities of universal laws and conditions that define order, structure, chance and expression in a living and changing world. It is curiosity which makes my work come into being. Jumping beans are magical living creatures. I worked with them for a couple of weeks, tried out various recording modes and different effects. The final selection on this CD is rather straightforward. There are four different pieces. For each recording I put 16 jumping beans in 8 containers. Clothes-pins glued on piezo discs were used as contact mikes on each of the containers, which were placed on a sheet of soft foam plastic. The beans were activated by a halogen lamp over the table." -- Paul Panhuysen. $19.00

Taylor 10CD box set
by Nick Cain 20 May '02

20 May '02

This box set has been endlessly delayed, but is now apparently very close to release. According to Mole Jazz the latest holdup is something to do with the packaging; nevertheless, they expect to have copies in by end of next week. I don't know how many copies they plan on pressing but it's probably safe to assume the run will be finite. If you're very interested it might be worth placing an advance order by e-mailing jazz(a)molejazz.co.uk for the attention of Andy. Preorder cost is Â£99 plus p&p. When the things actually turn up, price will rise immediately to Â£115 plus p&p. <<Date: Sat, 18 May002 03:09:19 -0700 (PDT) From: Hwel Davies <hywel99(a)yahoo.com> Subject: taylor 10 cd set To: zorn-list(a)mailman.xmission.com did anyone get the cecil taylor trio 10 cd set available only from mole jazz in London? i think it's the one that was due to be releasd by FMR?

Derek Bailey - Ballads
by Richard Gardner 20 May '02

20 May '02

I don't think the new Derek Bailey album has been mentioned on the list, so a quick note to say how much I have enjoyed it. Like the reviews say only John Zorn could have persuaded Bailey to make an album of Ballads and the result is wonderful. IMHO there is no feeling of crash editing two styles of music just a gentle flow in and out of the tunes through Bailey's wonderful improvisation. I thought his comment on the sleeve notes was interesting: "I am not interested in Improvised Music with a capital I and a capital M, I am interested in improvising." Having played most of these tunes in a fairly straight setting and got to know them pretty well this performance opened my eyes afresh. Shame the sleeve typography makes it almost impossible to read all the details. Richard Gardner
