Los Angeles Woodwind Skillshare is coming to a Los Angeles Chinatown near you. This Saturday at Automata, outside on Chung King Road. LAWWSS performs a new work by Carolyn Goodwin, as part of the Dog Star 21 festival.

New #review today: "In #SeismicTelegraph #SteveFreeman plays synthesizer and effects, #AlanFreeman plays a laptop, along with #JezCreek (Arturia MiniFreak synthesizer and effects) and #ChrisConway (Irish whistle, theremin, kalimba, shakers, voice, coffee cup, and effects). All four member are experienced improvisers who create this music in a live studio setting, perhaps with some post session editing." #ExposeOnline #ExperimentalMusic #ImprovisedMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/seismic-telegraph-a-sea-of-space-3.html
AMM with Sachiko M - Testing (CD, Matchless, 2025)
A new CD on Matchless of a 20 year old performance (December 2004), from the AMM duo of Eddie Prévost & John Tilbury with Sachiko M on sinewaves.
The piece is full of haunting subtleties of sound from the trio, a winter’s wish of room-enlarging acoustics. Beautiful work that seems to hang in the air, outlasting its conclusion.

“[W]hat’s always fascinating is that sometimes you think you know what something sounds like and do the thing that produces the sound you think you will get, and then you don’t get it. There are always variabilities, variations, and things you didn’t expect… They always lead you to explore something differently. I think the joy is in the fact that even though my vocabulary is relatively static, what happens, without fail, always brings me to places I haven’t been before. I don’t know why, but it happens. I think it has to do with having an understanding that when something unexpected happens, you can make it into something interesting.”- Fred Frith

“When playing a solo piece, I don’t write notation because it does not need to be communicated to anyone else. I only write down words. Just a list of timestamps and words to describe the sounds I’m going to move through. These are notes that only I would understand. They’re typed out like a setlist. It’s just abbreviated little notes to myself that probably wouldn’t even make sense to anyone else, and that’s kind of the point of this music. Nobody else is going to play these pieces. It’s almost like folk music in that way. ” - Jessica Pavone

As expected, the Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra with Pat Thomas gig this afternoon was wonderful. Two longish sets mixing fully improvised playing with pieces of more composed music (still with some free elements). Thomas is a real force of nature, mesmerising to watch and hear and, in combination with the GIO, that force feels unstoppable. I just wish it hadn’t stopped!

I'm looking forward to the Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra with Pat Thomas gig at St Luke's in Glasgow tomorrow. It promises to be really special and at the very civilised time of 1.30pm!
"[It] celebrates the music of Thelonious Monk, presenting new compositions featuring a double concerto for real and imaginary pianists, Monkish dreamscapes, and a piece that merges every Thelonious Monk composition in a joyous mélange."

Eastern Saga: Live At Tusk by Konstrukt, Otomo Yoshihide, released on KarlRecords in 2020.
"‘Eastern Saga: Live at Tusk’ collides the guitar/turntables of Japanese experimental music dynamo Yoshihide against the free swarming might of Istanbul’s Konstrukt. It’s Konstrukt’s 4th live expo on Karlrecords following previous actions with Kenji Haino and Ken Vandermark, and catches them in a furious mood, no doubt egged on by the assembled Geordie mutants in the crowd as well as Otomo Yoshihide’s energies, driving them to roiling peaks of free jazz rock and psych squall, and one killer stretch of motorik steppers velocity that spanners out into killer breakbeat duelling between the two drummers, and unravelling into tattered reverse loops and plumes of fire guitar and sax by the end."
