- It features twelve tracks based on Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 14
that deftly tread the peripheries of classical and electronic
composition. . . .
Jumping up and down in anticipation of this one...listened to the 1 track available now on bandcamp and it put me in mind of Herbie Hancock's "Rain Dance" from his album Sextant...while sounding entirely like Murcof of course.
One of the new year's most significant jazz releases is William Parker's Migration of Silence Into and Out of The Tone World - a 10-cd box on his Centering Music label managed by AUM Fidelity. It will be released this Friday and cds and download are available at Bandcamp: https://williamparker.bandcamp.com/album/migration-of-silence-into-and-out-of-the-tone-world-volumes-1-10. A track from each of the 10 cds is available now for purchasers of the set or as a stand alone as Trencadis. Highly recommended based on many hours spent listening to Trencadis (also 5 stars and editors choice at Jazzwise). Appropriately Cisco Bradley's biography of Parker is now available. The hard back copy is ridiculously priced at over $100, but the paperback is a more reasonable $30. Excellent review here: https://jazzandblues.blogspot.com/2021/01/book-universal-tonality-life-and-music.html. The book is available for purchase at AUM Fidelity as is the cd box.
Bardo Pond guitarists, brothers John and Michael Gibbons revive their
long-term sonic sparring side project Vapour Theories for a
genre-shattering new release ‘Celestial Scuzz’. . . . .
This is the single of the new Soriah album "Cathartes" out May 1st 2021.
SORIAH weaves Tuvan throat singing, pre-Columbian sounds, classical
Indian raga, and modern Western styles, looping and processing his voice
and traditional instruments into lush sonic tapestries. His lyrics are
often written in Nahuatl (Mexica/Aztec) or Tuvan, preserving and
expressing cultural mysteries with reverence and wonder. . . .
Perhaps I missed it starting, but it appears that the first five releases of Mostly Other People Do the Killing on Hot Cup are now available on Bandcamp. This seems to be a MOPDTK thing as other Hot Cup releases (Jon Lundbom and Charles Evans mostly and the Moppa Elliot solo album) are not. Still the five releases appear under the Hot Cup banner so maybe others will appear soon (though searching for Hot Cup returns nothing).
Gabriel Borden, guitarist, multitracks several of David Borden's
compositions originally written for synthesizers and electric pianos.
Father (David) and son (Gabriel) have collaborated on several projects
over the years and have performed together since 1990.
Part of the Unsound 'Intermission' album compilation, this track
features Aho Ssan, Angel Bat Dawid, Dirar Kalash, Ellen Fullman,
Księżyc, Laraaji, Nicolás Jaar, Pawel Szamburski, Resina, Rolando
Hernandez and Wukir Suryadi.
Created as part of the Unsound 2020
online program, 'Weavings' is a durational improvisation structured in
the manner of a long fabric of sound. Conceived and curated with Nicolás
Jaar, the performance hosted a number of artists and instrumentalists
from around the world who linked up via Zoom, with a plugin used to
facilitate real-time high-resolution audio collaboration. ‘Weavings
(Part 1)’ is the first section of the piece.
'Intermission' is the first album ever released by Unsound, comprised of
15 commissioned tracks responding to the pandemic year through sound
and music. Meditative, often powerful, affected by periods of anxiety
and optimism, this multi-layered album is intended to be more than a
compilation. . .
“Albert Ayler” is a track from the first disc of Wadada Leo Smith’s solo

“Social Justice – A Fire for Reimagining the World” is the first track
of the third disc of Wadada Leo Smith’s three-CD box set “Sacred
