It’s only RIO, but I like it. Carrying the torch for these avant Progressive refuseniks are Thinking Plague, part of a stateside Cow-inspired contingent including 5uu’s and Motor Totemist Guild. These groups have…produced some extraordinary work… Their music eschews the salon woodwinds and cellos of the European groups for a more traditional electric palette, and its driving, whirlwind climaxes show a marked influence of King Crimson and Yes, names to make their RIO granddaddies run screaming from the room. …this new album finds the group’s main writer Mike Johnson in [an] apocalyptic mood, layering the pale vocals of Deborah Perry into a huge choir of doom, her exquisitely twisted harmonies spinning tales of war, despair and redemption as the music becomes audaciously, perhaps absurdly, complex. … Thinking Plague are exciting and ridiculous in equal measure, as good Prog rock should be.” - Keith Moliné, Wire, Issue 239, January 2004 “Thinking Plague formed in 1983…after guitarist and main composer Mike Johnson answered a notice posted by Bob Drake for a guitarist into “Henry Cow, Yes, etc.” …these initial influences are still prominent in the group’s sound - along with King Crimson, Stravinsky, Ligeti, Art Bears, and Univers Zero.

Mike Mantler and Carla Bley, being the only two non-leader members of the Guild, had decided to organize an orchestra made up of musicians both inside and outside the Guild. This group, then known as the Jazz Composer's Guild Orchestra and consisting of eleven musicians, began rehearsals in the downtown loft of painter Mike Snow for its premiere performance at the Guild's Judson Hall series of concerts in December 1964. The orchestra, set up in a large circle in the center of the hall, played "Communications no.3" by Mike Mantler and "Roast" by Carla Bley. The concert was so successful musically that the leaders decided to continue to write for the group and to give performances at the Guild's new headquarters, a triangular studio on top of the Village Vanguard, called the Contemporary Center. In early March 1965 at the first of these concerts, which were presented in a workshop style, the group had been enlarged to fifteen musicians and the pieces played were "Radio" by Carla Bley and "Communications no.4" (subtitled "Day") by Mike Mantler.

Preface Interest in the work of Mikhail Bakhtin among Western scholars has been particularly and increasingly evident since the 1980s. His ideas about dialogism have been and continue to be a source of inspiration for various approaches across scientific fields because they are versatile, multidimensional and open. Bakhtin’s original concepts have widened both theoretical and empirical approaches in a wide range of scientific fields. These include most notably anthropology, art, education, economy, gender studies, history, linguistics, literature, medicine, technology, pedagogy, philosophy, political science, psychoanalysis, psychology, rhetoric, religion, semiotics, sociology, speech pathology, and theatre. This conference focused on the core of Bakhtin’s theory, which concerns dialogue and dialogicality. The conference themes reflected his notion that the “I” and the “self”, the “you” and the “other” are embedded in each other so that each affects the other and as a whole they create a centrifugal force around which communication and life circle.

  • Fred Frith (Filmmusik)
    Fred Frith (Filmmusik) Geboren 1949 in Heathfield, East Sussex, England. Im Alter 5 Jahren begann Fred Frith mit dem Violinen-Spiel, später kamen das Klavierspiel, mit 13 Jahren die Gitarre hinzu. Während seines Studiums in Cambrige gründete er 1968 mit dem Saxophonisten Tim Hodgkinson die wegweisende Independent-Band Henry Cow, die u.a. mit Chris Cutler, John Greaves und Lindsay Cooper zusammen arbeitete. Nach der Auflösung von Henry Cow ging Frith 1979 nach New York, wo er mit Künst- lern der Downtown-Szene um Tom Cora, Bob Ostertag, Ikue Mori, John Zorn und anderen in Kontakt kam. Die Arbeit von Fred Frith ist seitdem ungewöhnlich vielfäl- tig. Er arbeitete u.a. zusammen mit Amy Denio, Brian Eno, Half Japanese, Material, The Residents, Robert Wyatt, Heiner Goebbels und Yo Yo Ma, produzierte Alben für The Orthotonics, David Moss, Tenko und V- Effec, war Bassist in John Zorns Band Naked City und gründete so unterschiedliche Formationen wie The Guitar Quartett, Massacre (mit Bill Laswell und Charles Hayward) und Skeleton Crew (mit Tom Cora und Zeena Parkins). "Nach mehr als 20 Jahren mit Aufnahmen und Perfor- mances ist Fred Frith so etwas wie die Ikone der Avant- garde Music geworden“ schrieb Die Zeit 1991. „Die Kri- tiker haben ihm Unrecht getan, indem sie ihn als impro- visierenden Cage-Jünger beschrieben... Bei der Anerken- nung der intellektuellen Aspekte seiner Musik dürfen aber nicht die unsterbliche Neugier, der bittere Witz, sein kindlicher Spieltrieb und die schleichende Melan- cholie übersehen werden." In den letzten Jahren verla- gerte sich der Schwerpunkt von Friths Arbeit von der Perfomance hin zur Komposition, dazu kamen zahlrei- che Arbeiten für Theater, Tanz, Film, Malerei und Video.

  • Final Thesis.Pdf
    An Investigation of the Impact of Ensemble Interrelationship on Performances of Improvised Music Through Practice Research by Sarah Gail Brand Canterbury Christ Church University Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2019 Abstract In this thesis I present my investigation into the ways in which the creative and social relationships I have developed with long-term collaborators alter or affect the musical decisions I make in my performances of Improvised Music. The aim of the investigation has been to deepen the understanding of my musical and relational processes as a trombonist through the examination of my artistic practice, which is formed by experiences in range of genres such as Jazz and contemporary music, with a current specialty in Improvised Music performance. By creating an interpretative framework from the theoretical and analytical processes used in music therapy practice, I have introduced a tangible set of concepts that can interpret my Improvised Music performance processes and establish objective perspectives of subjective musical experiences. Chapter one is concerned with recent debates in Improvised Music and music therapy. Particular reference is made to literature that considers interplay between performers. Chapter two focuses on my individual artistic practice and examines the influence of five trombone players from Jazz and Improvised Music performance on my praxis. A recording of one of my solo trombone performances accompanies this section. It concludes with a discussion on my process of making tacit knowledge of Improvised Music performance tangible and explicit and the abstruse nature of subjective feeling states when performing improvisation. This concludes part one of the thesis.

  • Matthew Edwards and the Unfortunates
    Matthew Edwards and the Unfortunates. ‘The Birmingham Poets’ is Matthew Edwards and the Unfortunates first release on the Paris-based December Square recordings. It was recorded in Leamington Spa, England by John A. Rivers (Felt, Dead Can Dance etc.) " The Birmingham Poets are amusing but unexpected guests who eventually ruin your dinner party…The Birmingham Poets graffiti the walls with romance languages. Their split personalities are no longer on speaking terms. They are constantly saying goodbye. I was born in Birmingham, and have both languished and thrived there. I left for California but returned… for this record I suppose? So, here I am still looking for the magic under the concrete." — MATTHEW EDWARDS Matthew Edwards is based in Birmingham, England and San Francisco CA. He has led the Unfortunates since 2013. Prior to then Edwards was the driving force in SF’s critical darlings The Music Lovers. At various times Matthew has been a bingo caller, an English Literature major, a park keeper, MC of a San Francisco cabaret, and of course a singer-songwriter of some distinction. The first Unfortunates album ‘The Fates” (2013) was produced by Eric Drew Feldman (PJ Harvey, Captain Beefheart) and recorded in Emeryville, California. It drew universal critical acclaim: **** Mojo, “Luxuriates in loss and the paradoxical beauty and romance of age, distance and decay” The Quietus "Blessed with understated charm, originality and pure lambent beauty" Shindig In 2014 Matthew relocated to his hometown of Birmingham, England and convened the UK version of the band. This group recorded the Unfortunates second album ‘Folklore’ which was released by Gare Du Nord records in June 2017.
