RIPIT, CRANK STURGEON AND SIEMERS: FREE WITH AN ELEPHANT: A RARE CD-R RELEASE FROM 2003: POST-POST-POST-INDUSTRIAL-NOISE FROM FRANCE, GERMANY, BELGIUM AND THE USA: HAHAHARSH!!!

this compilation of harsh and notsoharsh noise was released on the RRs.R label in belgium in 2003 on a blank cd-r coming in a coffee filter paper complete with some coffee in a tiny plastic bag sticking to it: this was post-post-post industrial music, and the adhesive glue was of course meant and bound to destroy the package and the cd: at least one of my author's copies survived the process of becoming slodgery slubbery mud and can be enjoyed in full flight righthere. we got RIPIT from france, CRANK STURGEON from the usa and your very own SIEMERS from germany, all contributing exclusive tracks and mixes. though sometimes it might sound as if there are some sounds not meant to be a-sounding as they sound: be assured: they are, they are.

so if you own one of the 2003 copies of the cd-r slowly laging away you might like to hear the original noise: and that is what we getgotgod here: 

RIPIT:

01 - non revolutionary feedback noise part one

02 - too late to wake up

03 - non revolutionary feedback noise part two

04 - non revolutionary sourceless noise part three

05 - too early to sleep

CRANK STURGEON:

06 - byzantiii marsch

07 - cuadro

08 - blonghu fare'smeta

09 - ome leer (primerflakk)

SIEMERS:

10 - donn be

11 - mat sc (with D:U:R / david dufour, uwe büchele, ralf siemers)

12 - all go

13 - ov kon (with D:U:R)

14 - blondesp (versus cock esp)

15 - tanz mit (with herr rommel)

16 - serreff

rich/art wagner: parsifal: verwandlungsmusik / transformation music 1913 / 1982

weltinnenwagnerraum: this is punk (angestrengte version), this is übermensch (slightly returning nietzsche-version), this is rich/art wagner: the last opera, the last will, the last vision of music to come, the lasting espreview of music to comm and to coum: parsifal. the next 20th century is augurualating within it seems/seams themselves: parsifal is a laser pointer to/into its own future: a vivid vision off noise too calm (pun intended, of course) and.

verwandlungsmusik / transformation music hallmarks the moment of changing the scenes: in the first act of parsifal the audience witnesses and experiences the change from the restricted glades of the woods to the even more restricted delimitation of the castle of the holy grail: a dialectical process to open the minds of the visionairs: the verwandlungsmusik / transformation music is (t)here to assist the audience to tranceform their old fnording points of view and to help them to commiserate the futures of 'music' and even more the 'futures' of themselves and their varying aspects of being part of a community that wants to listen and wants to be heard, though this points to utopia and richard wagner knew about it: the audience always was hell: the english, not the german version of that wonderfuel word. 

here are some versions of verwandlungsmusik / transformation music recorded throughout the centuries plus two tracks that fit in very fine: listen unwound to let the volkswagnerinnenraum be your grosser and kleiner i'm nix verstehn: i wish i could sprekken sie deutsch: ohne wagner hätten sich stockhausen und family five gelangweilt: aber sowas von!

peter brötzmann and milford graves / live in berlin / november 2002

two elder gods of free creative free improvised free music beyond the borders of free jazz: both peter brötzmann (saxophone etc) and milford graves (percussion etc) were about 61 years old when they recorded this live duo situation in berlin on the 1st or 2nd of november 2002. both had been crashing down and breaking through barriers of musical languages for a long time and they did not have to show and prove anything to anybody, so they could handle their chary dialogue with caution: poetic noise, harshaffectionated tenderness.

these recordings had been made available by jizzrelics a long time ago but have vanished on rapidshare since then. in the comments to that post on jizzrelics mew23 stated the tracks as follows:

1. you never know (mg) / finding your way (mg) [18:06]

2. our meeting (mg) [13:49]

3. little birds have fast hearts (pb) / the heart and the bone (pb) / die like a dog (pb) [24:42]

4. [mg talking to the audience] [02:14]

5. [encore] [04:23]

you can find more brötzmann next door browsing bewegnungen.

the incredible string band live 1973 and mike heron's incredible acoustic band 1993 - this is nor folk nor folk nor folk

the incredible string band, the metameta(per)version of folk into rock. the dub-liners of anti-homey beer drinking and singing along: my father was a subtext seeker and you're w(o)(a)ndering now living a target's life. mainchmal the sunk remainds the seam seamlassie on herd, my the way, meisenweg und werch!

here are five tracks they recorded in the late winter or early spring of 1973 that later on were broadcast on the king biscuit flower hour in the usa. by the tyme being they saw their only release as part of the four cd carrying case 'don't dare to forget' published by oh boy! in 1991 including a calendar for that year carrying all and additional information.

listen to licorice mckechnie on drums (etc), malcolm le maistre on bass and mandoline (etc), robin williamson on organ and guitat (etc) and mike heron on piano, sitar, vocals et cetera. here they go:

01 - my father was a lighthouse keeper
02 - the circle is unbroken
03 - torquoise blues
04 - old buccaneer
05 - black jack david

(please note: this is just the incredible string band and none of the other bands mentioned in the picture)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

mike heron's incredible acoustic band of course was one of many ways to treat and process the inheritant bequest of the incredible string band. mike heron (vocals, guitar) gathered up and around and away with john rutherford (guitar), stuart smith (bass) and dave haswell on drums for one of many ways to re-incarnate the incredible string sound in 1993 (robin williamson by the way went on some other ways) but anyway this still is way beyond: 

rumour has it that there is an 'official bootleg' of the incredible acoustic band, including these four tracks and seven more. but i never saw a copy of that one, and i never met anybody with applicable information on that one. though, so...

01 - tom and alexei
02 - leaning on my heart
03 - killing the dragon
04 - favourite sins
