experimentalists Gastr Del Sol and legendary minimalist composer Tony Conrad this Sunday at the Coffeehouse, and eclectic art-rock ensemble Birdsongs of the Mesozoic this Friday in Reynolds Industries Theater. These three artists have very little in common musically, but all make a fine noise that rejects the conventional restraints of traditional song structures and conventions to make noise that is iconoclastic, intriguing, and always challenging. Gastr Del Sol hail from Chicago and occupy a shifting, mercurial place in the musical landscape, a place eons away from the more well-known Smashing Pump­ kins (okay, much more well-known), Liz Phair, and Veruca Salt. Musicians tend to float through, leaving a memorable contribution, but the core members are Dave Grubbs, a graduate student in English at the University of Chicago and the highly regarded avant-garde guitarist Jim O'Rourke. It is exceedingly difficult to describe Gastr's oeuvre. Grubbs and O'Rourke often collaborate using the traditional rock instruments: guitar, piano, drums, bass, the occasional hushed vocal, but the results are always unexpected. Songs move rest­ lessly through complicated, precise structures a long way away from the traditional verse-chorus-verse-chorus schtick, structures that sometimes unravel into chaos, then recoil into a to- ^^^^^^^^^^ ..._^^^^^_ tally new form.

On this release, Conrad contests the normalcy of celestial harmony, which reflects Gastr Del Sol, Tony Conrad, and Birdsongs ofthe Mesozoic make music that does in his eyes the way society and culture are organized. Rather, the piece is about more that entertain. Their compositions are not meant to soundtrack your life, to stretching the tolerances of tone. With an extended drone, Conrad's violin at times provide background music to your studying, playing, or sleeping.

So let the passive listener of classical Indian music.

Vocalist The Usual Suspects (R) Shannon Wright shows her stuff on "Middle," a slow, unnervingly sensual tune puctuated by a stedy bass and snare beat. With the exception of the angst-ridden Jeffrey "Mama," the other tracks are far less mellow, resulting in a concise display of Kids (NR-SuggNC-17) Crowsdell's versatility.

The truth is that people who get involved with Harlem is a fast-paced, tremendously informative delight, fueled by its charismatic documentary films do so because they have a love of something which they wish to subject matter and its devotion to a time lost, but not forgotten.

Before seeing A Great Day In Harlem, I did not understand what the big deal was. Yes. I'm currently working on a CD-ROM which will include a lot ofthe footage I was not familiar with the music or the musicians, and I had little if any interest in which we were unable to include in the final cut of the film. There are several stories increasing my familiarity ofthe subject. However, now, very much thanks to Jean and interviews which didn't make it for one reason or another, and those will all be Bach's celebrated film, I somehow understand what these people were about.
