Big Kannon VS JC Rap Battle

Rare Breed Ent

PETER BRÖTZMANN • JASON ADASIEWICZ • JOHN EDWARDS • STEVE NOBLE

Went to an excellent gig last night to see Free Jazz legend Peter Brotzmann.
Haven't been to a gig in long time, a habit I need to reanimate.
Cafe Oto in East London is the kind of venue I like, small with a sound mixer with ears.

Wild Style Instrumental Beats

 

For three days in June of 1981, a movie director, a hip hop scenester and a drummer met in Blank Tapes studios in Manhattan and created the soundtrack to the most iconic hip hop movie in history. Named Wild Style, the flick was a collaboration between the aspiring filmmaker Charlie Ahearn and Fred Brathwaite (known around the downtown scene as Fab 5 Freddy); after a conversation at a Times Square show, Ahearn recalls they decided to “bring the hip hop world and the graffiti world together into focus” on the big screen. As a musical curveball, Ahearn proposed what he looks back on as a “ridiculous” idea: Instead of utilizing the popular soul and funk breaks that DJs like Grand Wizard Theodore and Grandmaster Flash were spinning at parties, they would create their own instrumental percussive grooves to score the movie.
To that end, they drafted in the talents of Lenny Ferraro (sometimes known as Ferrari), a drummer playing on the punk circuit who had originally cut his teeth backing up Aretha Franklin and Jerry Butler. The outcome of those studio sessions became known as the Wild Style breakbeats – a series of 13 short instrumentals that are now some of hip hop’s most revered and mysterious recordings.

Black Science Orchestra • Walters Room

Here's some more Beedle for your needle - if not the one attached to the tone arm, the one embedded in the digital junkie's arm at least. See bio info for Ashley Beedle over at the Ballistic Brothers post on Soundological. For his BSO effort, Ashely forsook the talents of buds Rocky & Diesel for a heavier reliance on Uschi Classen and engineer Marc Woolford. The album is named in deference to one of the early pioneers of the extended remix, Walter Gibbons. In all seriousness, if you just glossed over that link and you don't really know who Gibbons was then you better check yourself and click on that link, kiddo. You're in for a treat. Then go to the Disco Museum for a nice in-depth bio on the man you can read while listening to BSO's homage to the glory days of Philly, New York and Jersey disco. Shout out to Julian over at Play Jazz Loud for his psychic request!

Dorian Cheah • ARA

To the extent that Dorian Cheah views his debut recording as a deep expression of personal identity, his musical identity seems to be shaped very much by producer Bill Laswell and the sidemen here, including Zakir Hussain, Karsh Kale, Hamid Drake, Bernie Worrell and Nicky Skopelitis. Cheah’s articulate violin is a strong lead voice throughout, recalling Shankar’s own electric experiments in the Indian tradition, but his shimmering runs and carthartic highs are almost always draped in electronic effects and folded into a lush sonic tapestry courtesy of Laswell. Yes, this album is very much in the spirit of the producer’s own affinity for trance and meditation, worldly percussion, dub vibes, deep bass and occasional detours (like oblique guitar solos)— all of which makes it clear this is no New Age outing. Cheah is great, the album bears the bass-heavy stamp of a Laswell production, and the percussionists help bring the music back to its acoustic roots. Meditate at your own risk.

That's what I was trying to say when we were talking about sound. I think that every person, whether they play music or don't play music, has a sound - their own sound, that thing that you're talking about.

A William Burroughs Birthday Book

I found this doing a clear out some years back a couple of months after Burroughs birthday and thought it would be a good idea to scan and post in time for the following year but just plain forgot. I would come across it from time and then forget about it again…anyway I’m on it this year round.
I bought this after the event from a underground mail order book distribution catalog called counter culture(?) pre internet days.
I haven’t read this since 1994 but had a quick scan through it whilst scanning, some interesting stuff within.
Counter Productions were a great source for finding unknown, weird and fringe gems, most of which I’ve kept and will scan and post if I find the time.

• Stylo •

A William Burroughs Birthday Book was produced to coincide with an event promoted by Catherine

Lupton and held on 5th February 1994 in Brighton, the 80th Birthday of William Burroughs.

The event itself in many ways mirrored Burroughs' own approach to literature and art, being a

random coming together of discrete connections that were collaged into a 'whole'. Alongside video

and sound-bites, numerous artists, writers and performers presented their work...

The only criterion was that the presentations should in some way be appropriate as a gift to Mr Burroughs.

The event was a sell-out, the dreamachines flickered into the night, and Dr Benway even

performed an appendectomy to thrill the crowds!

The booklet proved to be extremely popular. The following pages give just a flavour…WSB

Buck Jam Tonic

Buck Jam Tonic is a double album of improvised music by John Zorn, Bill Laswell & Tatsuya Nakamura. The album was released on the Japanese Wilddisc label in 2003 and is comprised of one disc mixed in Tokyo and another mixed in New York City. A vinyl edition was also released containing only the Tokyo mix.
The two discs make a neat set: the first was mixed by drummer Tatsuya Nakamura, while the second features three Bill Laswell interpretations of the same sessions. An obvious result is that there's some overlap of source material between the discs (see the samples of "Nu," from the Tokyo mix, and "Tzu," from the New York mix), but where Nakamura's tracks are rough-sounding little nuggets of rock, Laswell's are denser epics that build and ebb dramatically (across a wider spectral range, too) over the course of 20 or 30 minutes. Furthering the variety, John Zorn actually played alto and soprano sax that day instead of just honking, and Laswell pulled out some monstrous "boWAAAAAAAOW" noises to really get the blood flowing; the effect is a lot like the ugly muscle of Execution Ground, only with way peppier drumming. Hearing it through two different sets of ears gives BJT some replay value beyond its fist-pumping qualities, too, so it's more than just a replacement for a concert experience. Get past the awful name and hideous cover, and there's plenty to enjoy. - Taylor McLaren
