Dylan Ryan: Sky Bleached

by AAJ Italy Staff
May 6, 2013

La bella energia della West Coast americana torna a farsi apprezzare adeguatamente in questo ottimo album del batterista Dylan Ryan che si presenta in trio con gli eccellenti Timothy Young alla chitarra elettrica e Devin Hoff al basso acustico. Il primo è collaboratore abituale di Wayne Horvitz e dei suoi formidabili Zony Mash (anche nella configurazione acustica denominata Sweeter Than the Day). Il secondo suona spesso con il mitico chitarrista Nels Cline, capace di passare dal rock dei Wilco all'avanguardia ...

Wayne Horvitz/Tucker Martine: Mylab

by Mark Corroto
February 4, 2004

For Wayne Horvitz and Tucker Martine, the pair known as Mylab, the saying “everything old is new again” should be restated as “Everything New is Old again!”

This studio experiment by the duo (with 17 of their closest friends) samples and loops folk recordings from the turn of the century to create song structures, then replaces those samples with guest musicians. They mash (part Zony) funk, blues, trip-hop, soul, folk, and African music into a roots music played ...

April 1, 2000

Wayne Horvitz has his fingers in many musical pots. From his days in New York came John Zorn’s Naked City, the N.Y. Composers Orchestra, and work with Butch Morris, Bobby Previte and Elliot Sharp, to name just a few. Since his return to Seattle nearly a decade ago, his vision has flowered into a multi-colored garden. Besides the punk-edged improvisational band PONGA, he heads Pigpen, Four In One, and has done some solo work, plus acted as producer for his ...

Wayne Horvitz: American Bandstand

by Glenn Astarita
March 1, 2000

Wayne Horvitz’s esteemed stature in modern music as a prolific composer-performer is undeniable. On American Bandstand, Horvitz and co. provide the listener with a diversion or intermission from previous Horvitz-“Zony Mash” releases as they tone things down a bit while pursuing refined elegance on delicately melodic and altogether stirring pieces such as “Ben’s Music” and the gently understated “Tired”. Horvitz and guitarist Timothy Young continue their enticing blend of richly stated chord voicings and sonorous unison lines on “Prepaid Funeral” ...
