Merzbow/Keiji Haino/Balazs Pandi: An Untroublesome Defencelessness
by Mark Corroto
The often repeated refrain to a complaint about music is, “If it's too loud, then you're too old," doesn't apply to An Untroublesome Defencelessness by Merzbow, Keiji Haino, and Balázs Pándi. You probably should just agree, it is too loud. With any Merzbow record, it just seems to never gets old. Of late, Merzbow's, ...

by Mark Corroto
Mats Gustafsson at fifty. Name another artist who has had this significant and widespread effect on jazz, noise, free improvisation, alternative rock, electronica, and free jazz.

by Angelo Leonardi
La relazione tra jazz e poesia ha avuto il suo apice negli anni cinquanta, quando gli scrittori beat legarono i loro testi all'estetica be-bop, s'è rinnovata nel decennio successivo e da allora non ha smesso di manifestarsi, anche se in forme sotterranee. Questi due album sono l'ultimo esempio di ciò che accade negli Sati ...

Mette Rasmussen/Chris Corsano: All The Ghosts At Once
by Mark Corroto
Today's hypothesis states that all free jazz improvisation demands the musicians maintain the music's vigor like a juggler, to all appearances, keeping all the balls in the air at once. Proof of this theory is the opening piece “Train Track" from alto saxophonist Mette Rasmussen and drummer Chris Corsano's release All The Ghosts At Once. The ...
