Nate Wooley: Knknighgh Minimal Poetry (for Aram Saroyan)

Read "Knknighgh Minimal Poetry (for Aram Saroyan)" reviewed by Giuseppe Segala


Il multiforme talento di Nate Wooley aggiunge una tessera significativa alla propria generosa produzione discografica, pubblicata in buona parte dall'etichetta Clean Feed. In scena è un quartetto che già nell'organico evoca il free storico, allineando tromba, sax alto, contrabbasso e batteria. In effetti, il CD esordisce con un richiamo al quartetto di Ornette, con delle cellule ...

John Zorn: The Urmuz Epigrams

Read "The Urmuz Epigrams" reviewed by Don Phipps


Prolific composer John Zorn's The Urmuz Epigrams offers up an infectious mix of Stockhausen effects, polyrhythmic percussion, and twisty tunes, a combination which produces music that is unsettling, surprising, and humorous--often at the same time. All the pieces repeat themselves. Zorn notates the first rendition as “modern" and the second as “original." And while ...

He opens with the venerable “Body and Soul," a tune written in 1930, and launched ...

Read "Animal Image" reviewed by Roger Farbey


Animal Image is the remarkable soundtrack for the documentary film of the same name by the Finnish visual artist Perttu Saksa.
