Margaret Noble - The Walk Home on Ashland [ACP012]
«Margaret Noble started her career in the sound-arts as an electronic music DJ in the underground club community of Chicago in 2002. In 2004, she branched out from dance floor DJing into more experimental interests to curate and perform at a monthly sound arts showcase in Chicago called, “Spectacle.” From 2005 to 2007, she completed an MFA in sound art at the School of the Art Institute, Chicago. She now performs as an experimental composer in solo and in collaboration. Her recorded works have been exhibited in a variety of film festivals and art openings nationally and internationally. She uses electro-acoustic sound sources and focuses on creating experiential moments that reference the visual world».

Esta está a fazer um ano por estes dias. Vale a pena recordar POULENC (38'29) ou dar a conhecer a quem não soube ou não se interessou na altura pela quadragésima edição da netlabel CON-V, uma das minhas preferidas. Trata-se de um trabalho conjunto de Jim Brouwer, Paul Emery, Joe Gilmore, Tom Knapp, Ed Martin e Alex Peverett, gravado a 22 de Maio de 2002, em The Crypt, Leeds Town Hall, Inglaterra, inspirado nas Litanies à La Vierge Noire, obra para coro feminino e órgão datada de 1936, do compositor francês Francis Poulenc (1899-1963). Além da importância estética da sessão – uma obra-prima da música electrónica e electroacústica, diria – há que ter presente que Maio é o Mês de Maria. Sugere-se audição atenta com auscultadores de boa qualidade.Poulenc is a live interpretation of Francis Poulenc's religious choral and organ work Litanies à la Vierge Noir (1936). The original work consists of a series of prayers to Mary and was composed after the composer's pilgrimage to the Marian shrine of Rocamadour which contains a wooden Black Madonna. Black Madonnas are thought to be related to pre-Christian Earth Goddess traditions. Their dark skin, the colour of fertile earth, is associated with feminine sexual power and an archetypal Earth Mother who presides over both fertility and death.
The ensemble performed on three consecutive nights to three different audiences. The unedited recording documented here was recorded directly to DAT on the second night and contains no overdubs or post-production. It was the intention of the artists to preserve the spiritual nature of the original work, to harness the sacred and cosmic, whilst recontextualising the sound.
"I was really struck by the careful dismantling of the original music. Like handling an ancient vase or something. It was like watching a tight-rope walker – the perfect balance between unpicking the classical and reassembling it as something totally contemporary." – Dominic Gray, Opera North

Sylvie Walder und Siegmar Fricke - Nahtod (ca131)
Nahtod, or near-death-experience, is the phenomenon of absolute detachment from our actual being encompassed in fears, ego-mania, weaknesses and false wisdom. It leads to an out-of-body-experience offering the opportunity to watch the inner tree of life (Yggdrasil) from outside.
Nahtod, a collaboration between Sylvie Walder and Siegmar Fricke, intends to describe the withering of the tree of life as in neurosis or other traumatic states. Using the drones from Sylvie Walder as a basis for the electronic textures, Siegmar has constructed paranormal ambiences reflecting the different stages of detachment eventually leading to a new conscience gained in fear and pain. As the world is slowly collapsing outside, it is time to turn inwards. An acoustic sign for the world in its final stage.

Ted Daniel Quintet – Tapestry (Sun Records, 1974)
Chega finalmente a reedição Porter Records em CD de Tapestry, original de Ted Daniel, herói da época do Loft Jazz. A gravação original, com produção de Noah Howard, teve lugar no estúdio Artist House, de Ornette Coleman. Nesta importante sessão de 1974, Ted Daniel toca trompete e flugelhorn; Khan Jamal, vibrafone; Richard Daniel, Fender Rhodes; Tim Ingles, baixo; e Jerome Cooper, bateria. A edição em CD inclui um tema extra, Asagefo. Atenção às reedições Porter de discos tremendos de Byard Lancaster, entre outros. "Ted Daniel is an American trumpeter in the NYC loft scene who has been sorely under-recorded over the years. Strangely, this is not the expected free jazz blowout like his self-titled private pressed album is. Instead, Rhodes driven too hot through a leslie with placid improv by Khan and Ted over the top is the order of the day. The result is a gorgeous album that is mellow, modal, and perfectly aimless". - Soul Strut

Michel Blanc (bateria, vibrafone, percussão), membro do trio Push the Triangle, Jean-Luc Capozzo (trompete, cornetim), Franck Vigroux (guitarra eléctrica, electrónica), Antonin Rayon (órgão), Sandrine Robilliard (violoncelo), Eloise Decazes (voz), Jean-Marc Bourg (voz), Tom Gareil (vibrafone, quadro 9) e Aurélien Besnard (clarinete), participam no disco do primeiro, Les Onze Tableaux de L'Escouade, um fresco evocativo das pequenas misérias e desventuras do indivíduo na enorme tragédia colectiva que foi a Primeira Guerra Mundial. Inspirado na leitura de obras sobre a Grande Guerra e no Diário do Regimento de Infantaria n.º 158 a que pertenceu o avô Adrien Blanc, que serviu na frente de batalha entre 1914 e 1918, Michel Blanc idealizou, escreveu e pôs em marcha (trata-se da guerra…) estes onze quadros, numa mistura de improvisação electroacústica, spoken word e composição vanguardista, para contar a história dos horrores vividos no dia-a-dia das trincheiras no Norte de França. A sequência musical baseia-se num tema melódico enunciado pelo vibrafone, que depois é utilizado como matéria-prima ao longo dos quadros seguintes, sob a forma de variações. Além de um baterista competente, muito activo na cena francesa da fusion e do avant-rock modernos, Michel Blanc prova que tem talento para compor e arranjar, e que sabe coordenar o trabalho de um grupo de notáveis músicos franceses. Cor, movimento, improvisação, banda sonora, excertos do Diário do Regimento n.º 158 lidos por Jean-Marc Bourg, num experimentalismo conceptual de difícil balanço, a que podem ser atribuídos diversos rótulos e etiquetas, elementos que Blanc consegue equilibrar sem perder a capacidade de nos mergulhar no drama contado de forma audaciosa, o passo a passo de um doloroso “dever de memória”. Gosto especialmente do contraste entre a acidez da guitarra de Vigroux, que exprime a bravura dos combates, e a melancolia da trompete de Capozzo, que mostra a angústia desoladora da paisagem depois do Inferno de Verdun – durante 300 dias, entre 21 de Fevereiro e 19 de Dezembro de 1916, foi considerada a mais longa, violenta e mortífera de todas as batalhas que a história militar registrou até hoje. Co-produção de Michel Blanc e Franck Vigroux. Edição de estalo da independente francesa D’Autres Cordes.posted by eduardo chagas @ 20.5.08
