Julie Tippetts: Didn't You Used To Be Julie Driscoll?
by Duncan Heining
The respect in which Julie Tippetts is held by her fellow musicians and fans is truly heartening--and truly deserved. Back in the late sixties, then Julie Driscoll, she gave up a very different career trajectory in music, one that had begun with Steampacket and continued with Brian Auger & The Trinity, to follow a journey characterised ...
Pauline Oliveros & Connie Crothers: Live At the Stone
by Karl Ackermann

by Claudio Bonomi
Gli Yugen proseguono ostinatamente il loro viaggio quasi solitario nei meandri di una musica concettuale, colta e imparentata con Stravinsky, Schoenberg, Bartok, Romitelli, Cage, Ligeti, Zappa, Univers Zero, Henry Cow, King Crimson e altri. Un viaggio a zig zag segnato da fughe, variazioni, accelerazioni, conflagrazioni, divagazioni, pause, tempi frammentati e poi ricomposti, e, in sintesi, da ...

Pianist-organist Kit Downes is one of the brightest and most articulate talents to emerge from the British and European scenes in recent times.
