Chris
Forbes: Patriot Act |
For
many years I lived in two worlds, the modern classical world of
Messiaen and Boulez, and the free jazz tradition of Cecil Tay- lor and
Paul Bley. I strove as hard as I could to keep these two worlds
separate, with no cross influences. What a stupid idea! Patriot Act is
an example of the work I am now interested in, combining harmonies and
textures from both worlds into dense improvisations. I also hope the
piece is infused with the sense of outrage I have at the situation in
this country and in the world today. It’s time to ask what a true
Patriot Act really is. Is it to blindly put all your trust in power and
authority? Or is it to speak out, trusting in your own authority?

Caroline
Kraabel/phil hargreaves: Picton Library |
Picton
Library is the title of the recording venue, done as part of the
sessions for the album “where we were” on Leo records.
There is no electronic processing on this recording - all effects are
due to the library’s entirely curious acoustic. See www.wherewewere.info for more
about this project.

James
Keepnews: Discontinuo |
James
Keepnews: guitar, laptop, synth. Recorded live in concert June 27, 2003
- Chapel & Cultural Center, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy,
NY. Recorded by Michael Lopez. Mastered by Ben Chadabe & jk. Thanks
to J. Eric Smith, Mitch Elrod, J-Swift, Will Zwink, ML & BC for
making this event, and its recording, possible.
“Discontinuo”
is an example of my continuing explorations in interactive
improvisation via the MAX/MSP programming environment. Depending upon
the input from my guitar, the interactive system programmed in MAX/MSP
draws upon multiple tendencies for orchestration, melodic and rhythmic
ex- pression, and responds in real-time.

Weyant/Golden/Haslam:
excerpt from 5-3-04 |
5/3/04
Exerpt is the last three minutes of a show at the Mat Bevel Institute
in Tucson, Arizona, United States of America, Earth. It was improvised
during the desert season of change. As spring withered, students and
snowbirds migrated for cooler climes. The bars and roadways emptied and
the city sighed in relief. One hundred plus degrees was not far away.
It would be two more months before the first fat drops of monsoon
moisture would cool the scorched earth. The quartet of Weyant, Golden
and Haslam played one more show after the three minutes heard here,
then dispersed. Until when? Who knows. Enjoy.
