PALESTINE, CHARLEMAGNE & CONRAD, TONY
An aural symbiotic mystery
“More that 30 years had passed since our last experimental duet. Tony arrived and decided he could stay for several days in Brussels and we casually started to play together one afternoon Aude, my wife, remarks about that special moment that in 5 minutes if not less she heard a natural musical chemistry of beauty and power that greatly impressed her yet. Tony and i hadn’t played discussed or conversed about sound or anything in over 30 years None the less the result were totally surprising dazzling and deeply satisfyingg so that we do some concerts together in Paris, Nantes, Naples & Brussels, the present recording made in October 2005 at the Mercelis Theatre in Brussels on ” Luc Ferrari Day ” (the day that Pompidou Center in Paris presented an entire day in honor of the French composer Luc Ferrari who had jsut recently died in Italy) Our duet had no title though we were very conscious of Luc Ferrari’s ” presence in spirit ” during that evening. How is it that Tony and i can play so magically together without ever discussing or planning or or anything ? ? ? i have no idea ! ! ! IT’S AN AURAL SYMBIOTIC MYSTERY ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ” Charlemagne Palestine Lago D’Orta 7/2006 – Veramente un bel concerto! Non solo per appassionati del genere! CONSIGLIATO!!

Aerial #3
This release is the third and last in a 3 part series. Vol.1 has been released in March 2005 inside a slipcase’s limited edition. Vol 2 and 3 are released separately and packaged in individual standard jewel cases that will conveniently fit into the slipcase provided with Vol.1.
“I’ve written before of my interest in shortwave radio, in the notes to the Quatermass CD. Also, in the notes to the Omniphony CD (which has my first “Aerial” mix, “Past Prelude,” in it), I mentioned “The Aerial Etudes,” which was my working title for what became the three CDs you have. And, at the end of an interview with Chris Cutler (which can be found in the “Unofficial TD Website”), the piece I mentioned I was starting to work on at the time became Aerial.) When I was very young, people got most of their entertainment from radio. They called it “playing the radio,” as if it were a musical instrument. That’s what I’ve tried to do in this piece. About this time, a few people encouraged me to look into using a computer for this work. I’d never used one, but I saw it would allow me to keep my mixes digital – no more transfer losses. So, at the end of 2001, I got a computer and an editing program for it, and spent what seemed a long time learning it. I began selecting mixes and loading them into the computer in late March, 2002. Out of the 580, I selected 90 “best” mixes – eventually reduced to 59, the ones on the CDs. Finally, in assembling the CDs, I followed David Myers’ suggestion to allow each piece to flow into the next – making a continuous journey to the end – Tod Dockstader, 14 september 2003″

THE MASTER MUSICIANS OF JOUJOUKA
Boujeloud
“The Master Musicians of Joujouka are often credited with being the first “World Music” group. The Joujouka music for Boujeloud, or the Father of Skins, is frantic and has several movements which would equate to a symphony or the score of an opera if it were European classical music. The festival and ritual originate in the worship of the God Pan. Pan was evoked in the springtime to ensure the fertility of both the crops and the people. The people of Joujouka have kept this ancient tradition alive to this day. In 1968 Brian Jones the lead guitarist and founder of the Rolling Stones recorded the Master Musicians of Joujouka in their village in the Ahl Srif Mountains in northern Morocco. Jones was introduced to Joujouka music by the Beat Generation painter and inventor Brion Gysin and the Moroccan painter Mohamed Hamri, who was from the village. The LP “Brian Jones presents the Pipes of Pan at Joujouka” (Rolling Stones Records) was released in 1971 and was the last project Jones worked on before his death in 1969. In 1994 Frank Rynne began a two year long project recording the Master Musicians of Joujouka in their village. Sub Rosa released two CDs from these recordings, Joujouka Black Eyes (SR87) and Sufi (SR97) to critical acclaim in 1995 and 1996 respectively. This is the third and final CD from these intimate recordings to be released by Sub Rosa.
Ritual Music “The Rites of Pan” : Boujeloud (SR243) contains several different renditions of the ritual music Boujeloud. Each version has a widely different character which is determined by the combination of musicians and the spontaneous improvisation of the lead players. Tracks (tracks 1, 2, 6, and 8) are flute versions from various combinations of the Masters while track 3 features the intense sound of the massed rhaitas playing the ritual. There are also songs which are used in lead up to the ritual Allah a Mohamed El Hub Tenani Allah and Mohamed Kiss my Heart and Mali Mal Hal M’Halmaz Everyone is Together. The song Joujouka Ei Calihoun Joujouka Black Eyes is played after the musicians have used their music to drive Boujeloud/Pan out of the village. The musicians recording on this CD span four generation of Joujouka masters.
Master musician Mujehid Mujdoubi was 83 years old when he recorded Boujeloud (track 2) and Joujouka Ei Calihoun (track 9). Though he had lost the ability to play the double-reed rhaita Mujehid’s lira playing fully demonstrates the musical dexterity which seventy years playing honed to perfection. These were the last recordings he made before he died in 1998. The core group who still live and play in the village are widely represented on this CD. Rhaita player Abdelslam Errtoubi’s soloing on track 10 shows demonstrates his wild virtuosity. Master drummers Ahmed El Attar and El Khalil Radi play on all tracks. The Masters massed sound can be appreciated on track 3 performing the Boujeloud ritual in the centre of the village, the shouts of the villagers can be heard combining with climaxes of beat and tone. The different versions of Boujeloud and the related songs like Joujouka Ei Calihoun allow the listener to experience the melodies and the improvisational nature of Joujouka music played live in its natural setting. These recordings are an intimate and unique experience.” – LABEL PRESS RELEASE

Altered Realities
“Altered Realities is an album of solo acoustic guitar and live electronics. All of the compositions were recorded in real-time, directly to DAT (Digital Audio Tape) without any overdubs, mixing, editing, post-processing, or the use of previously recorded material. All of the textures were created based only on the acoustic guitar signal with no other sound source used during the recording. Within these textures, there are long sustaining single notes, beautiful shimmering chords and rhythmic clusters.
During the making of this album, Ovation Custom Legend 1869 acoustic guitar, TC Electronic Fireworx multi effects processor, Behringer FCB1010 midi foot controller and the software Audiomulch were used.
With no post-processing, no editing and no use of previously recorded material, the moment that is recorded is the moment that we hear on the cd.” – LABEL PRESS RELEASE

Savage Altars
“Savage Altars, from a concert performance by the Tudor Choir, derives its title from the Roman historian Tacitus’ Annals Book I, which chronicles the Roman campaigns against the German tribes. They suffered a devastating defeat by the Cheruscan soldiers in the Teutobugian forest. Six years later, the remains, bleached out bones, splintered spears and debris, of three Roman Legions, were found, the whole of which was named “barbarae arae”—savage altars. Elements of the hymn Magnificat, and the canon “Sumer is i cumen in” are also interwoven in melodic and textual contributions. This was written on the eve of the first Gulf War under Bush the elder.
Authentic Presence addresses a continuous state of spiritual mindfulness and was unconsciously inspired by the civil rights anthem, “We Shall Overcome”.
Five Easy Pieces are a kind of homage to Stravinsky and were made for no other reason than for having fun.
Soe-pa, the Tibetan word for patience, is for solo guitar with digital delays and loops. It is a more formal exercise in composition that involves the interplay between live and electronic media. – Ingram Marshall”

RETTIFICA: per errore nella precedente mail di Ottabre abbiamo indicato il titolo CHAOS – Comme au temps du chaos come un doppio CD-R; si tratta invece di un doppio CD, oltretutto con una traccia multimediale. Il prezzo viene confermato a 14 euro. Ci scusiamo dell’errore.
