Many of us know Brian Olewnick as a perceptive writer on music, but he’s a visual artist as well. For Arteidolia, I’ve written a piece about some of the paintings and drawings he’s done of simple objects–which maybe aren’t so simple after all.
Jack Wright has written a fascinating book about his experiences in the worlds of free improvisation. It’s more than a memoir; it’s a genealogical anthropology of a very distinct and changing world. I’ve written a review/essay on the book, which All About Jazz has just published.
A new article, up on Arteidolia.
The Beach Sloth blog has a nice review of Lunge–our first one. Many thanks to the Sloth.
Thanks to Don Campau for playing a track from Lunge on No Pigeonholes EXP. Don’s show featured a number of new releases from Pan y Rosas–definitely worth a listen.
Lunge, a second collaboration with Ken Moore, is now out on the Pan y Rosas netlabel. On our first collaboration, Frequency Drift, Ken played tam-tams. For Lunge, Ken played analogue synthesizers in a live improvised session at Last Resort Studio. Download it for free here. (And be sure to check out some of Ken’s current and archival recordings here.)
