One again at The Point, Ikue Mori and Fred Frith put on a very straightforward but highly enjoyable noise set together. It's wild to think about how the both of them have been on the cutting edge of experimental music longer than many of the audience members have been alive - hell, Ikue and my mom are almost the exact same age (their birthdays are the same year and only a month apart!). Their both in their 70s and still making music that's every bit as strange and challenging as they were making back in the day, if not more so.

4/3/24.

Someone of Matthew Edwards musical pedigree was bound to come across my radar at some point - I just thought it would have been long before now.

Edwards is English, but currently lives in San Francisco. But I don't think he's part of the current SF/Oakland scene. His music is a bit more produced and literate. It's satisfying my need for music like that of Maxwell Farrington/Le SuperHomard, The Divine Comedy, David Bowie, and David E. Williams.

The Futurists are Edwards' San Francisco based band. He did record a "recent" LP in his hometown of Birmingham, England with a group he called The Unfortunates. He also was in The Music Lovers who put out music on Le Grand Magistery (known to me because of Momus and Louis Philippe). He has collaborated with Fred Frith, and members from Ladybug Transistor and The Essex Green.

This two-song 7" appears to be self-released.

Guitar Solos - Fred Frith

Fred Frith's Guitar Solos is an album of improvised guitar solos for prepared guitar. Prepared guitar involves doing alterations to the guitar to change the sound, and the back cover of Guitar Solos on vinyl you can see what looks like a few alligator clips on some of the strings of the guitar as well as what looks a mirror or something instead of a guitar pick. This is similar to prepared piano which is a process that John Cage had come up with where a variety of things are put inside of a piano to get interesting rhythmic sounds and stuff. This is definitely a bit of a weird album, but I think if you are a fan of things like John Cage's prepared piano or other strange music I would suggest listening to it.

LISTENING JOURNAL 5/14/23

Bill Frisell 's The Guitar Artistry of Bill Frisell (1996). Fascinating deep board look into Bill's guitar playing. He shows all kinds of techniques that he employs. He named dropped Jim Hall many times as a mentor. So of course I had to check him out next.

Then a pivot into a recent Solar Motel Band outing at Union Pool from those taping heroes @nyctaper:

Then one more dive in Fred Frith's vast catalog to sample his 2nd solo album on Ralph Records - Gravity (1980)
