I have always enjoyed Zappa's guitar instrumental albums, the three Shut and Play your Guitars and this long double CD. Great song titles ("Watermelon In Easter Hay," "Things That Look Like Meat" etc.)
- "Carl Testa is a composer and multi-instrumentalist, most notably as the bassist in composer Anthony Braxton's groups with whom he's performed throughout the US and internationally. He also collaborates with vocalist Anne Rhodes, choreographer Rachel Bernsen, and composers Lou Guarino, Brian Parks, Adam Matlock, Nathan Bontrager, and Christopher Riggs" More Carl Testa @ Emusers
Diamond Terrifier - Kill the Self That Wants to Kill Yourself -"Diamond Terrifiers debut full length Kill The Self That Wants To Kill Yourself is a towering monolith of spiritual free-RnB sax riffing, embedded in world dub fragments, and harmonizer pedals. Instrument, genre, and technology are pushed to failure. The resulting spooky action at a distance darts around in the margins of whats possible, erratic in sentiment and aesthetic. Uncreative music journalists might say, Clarence Clemons meets Mad Max, but a broken clock is right twice a day, and in this case, theyd be right!
ZS saxist Sam Hillmer connects the dots from Beefheart to Kenny-G to future African saxophones. The only saxophonist in America coming straight out of the noise scene, inventing the saxophone as though Jazz werent awesome, he opens new space for the instrument on this deeply irreverent first LP. Kill The Self That Wants To Kill Yourself. Just make sure you pick the right one!"
DIAMOND TERRIFIER is Sam Hillmer of ZS. Diamond Terrifier is Sams saxophone and electronics solo incarnation. Named after the english translation of the indo-tibetan god-name Vajrabairahva, Diamond Terrifier is concerned with the potential positive qualities of destruction as mediated by noise/drone sheets of sound music. Diamond Terrifiers debut release Himalayan Appalachia appeared this past September and is soon to be followed by the follow up tape Shrine Flu on Words+Dreams. This coming fall Diamond Terrifiers first full length effort will be inaugurated on Brooklyn avant killers Northern Spy label. KILL THE SELF THAT WANTS TO KILL YOUR SELF is due out September 2012 and will be produced by the formidable rocker Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear." http://northernspyrecords.com http://northernspyrecords.bandcamp.com/
