Understanding 9/11phase 1 of recording tour, spring 2005
Audio With External Links Item Preview
Saz improvisations with various collaborators in Bristol and Cork City, recorded during spring 2005 travels.
Notes
Some compression, reverb and EQ have been added, otherwise everything is straight from MiniDisc. Tracks 6-8 recorded at Random Function, an improvised music event at the Watershed Arts Centre in Bristol. They are all excerpts of one 20 minute piece performed with Ale Fernandez (part of Bristol's "Improvised Crime Collective"). There's a bit of a reading from some of Stockhausen's notes in there somewhere (not Stravinsky's as I thought at the time), and a bit of percussively-triggered local radio. Ale played acoustic guitar and messed with a little Casio keyboard.  Tracks 9-15 were recorded back at Ale's house in Easton in the early hours of the next morning - he was playing acoustic guitar, tablas, and the Casio.  1-5 were recorded with friends in Cork City. Toby playing guitar and programming beats on his Groovebox, JohnJohn playing contrabass and percussion, Christy on percussion. Toby and JohnJohn are two-thirds of Cork band Wiggle, Christy is percussionist with Sumu.  Cork was European Capital of Culture in 2005. I retained this torn beermat. Christy asleep with African history book, a few days laterDates of recordings are all incorporated into file names (European-style) i.e. 020305 = 2nd March 2005. |

Firstly, Happy Birthday!!! - Bit late but that's life which is soooo busy - I should stop slacking off and get back to work.
And secondly- it was stockhausen not stravinsky you read from.
