Nik Bartsch: The Road To Stoa
by Budd Kopman
Pianist/composer Nik Bartsch calls what he does “ritual groove music," in an attempt to get across the mix of aesthetics and philosophy involved. This mix includes the mastery of technique, the total immersion in and lack of separation between thought and action, pure funkiness, emotionalism vs. minimalism, repetition vs. development, and trance vs. the dramatic--with the ...
Adam Lane & Ken Vandermark: 4 Corners and New Magical Kingdom
by Clifford Allen
Scandinavian cooperative trio The Thing is one of the more recent exponents of a hybridization of the visceral energies of free music and R&B-tinged punk rock.

Later he was to be a member of Skeleton Crew with Tom Cora and Zeena Parkins, Curlew, Bill Laswell's Material and ...

Much as using latex, earth or the body in visual art came to prevalence in the late 1960s, so ...
In "Labirinti Sonori" l'eredità di un festival e musica senza barriere
by AAJ Italy Staff
Era un’idea alla quale Stefano Maltese e Gioconda Cilio, compagni nell’arte e nella vita da lustri ormai, pensavano da tempo. Incidere la propria musica, in piena autonomia, e condividerla con musicisti segnati dallo stesso percorso artistico. Una musica senza barriere, capace di toccare il cuore e la mente, e soprattutto libera dai condizionamenti del mercato. Quell’idea ...
