The Dutch Lesson captures them in late October, 1973.By 1973 Soft Machine already had a long history of playing in Rotterdam. This time they were booked in a smaller venue, which they filled to capacity at around 400. Part of an arts complex originally known as Ons Huis, De Lantaren had recently been renovated into a theatre and music venue.In attendance that October night was Bert Boogaard, a record store owner at the time, sitting in the front row with a Uher portable tape machine, and we have him to thank for this excellent ambient recording of the performance.The band as a whole is a real powerhouse, nowhere better exemplified than on the encore, an infectiously funky fuzz organ-led jam based on the “Gesolreut” riff. Generally the tempos are much faster than usual, making the originals feel leisurely in comparison (“37½” is a case in point), and even when they aren’t, as with “The Soft Weed Factor,” an unexpected switch to double time makes up for it.Within a couple of weeks of this Dutch mini-tour, Soft Machine would enter a new phase of its history when, initially for a one-off Musicians’ Union workshop, the quartet teamed up with guitarist Allan Holdsworth, a successful experiment repeated on two dates in Ireland before Holdsworth was made a full member in time for the band’s Christmas Party at the Roundhouse.Expanding the line-up to a quintet was to prove what had been needed to propel Soft Machine and its music to the next level. But although the fifth man would change several times in the interim, the quartet of Mike Ratledge, Karl Jenkins, Roy Babbington and John Marshall would remain in place for nearly three years, until Ratledge’s departure in April 1976—a very long time by Soft Machine’s standards, and a sure sign of shared musical affinity.

It is credited to Thomas Haynes Bayley, who alsowrote "Long Long Ago," and dates back to the early 19th century.
The Muffins - Out Of The Boot / Nan Trues Hole (Official Audio) from Bakers Dozen (Cuneiform) Cuneiform Records 2022-11-28 | Easily purchase The Muffins' 'Baker's Dozen', by clicking this link: cuneiformrecords.bandcamp.com/album/bakers-dozenThe Muffins were a Washington, D.C. area band who existed from 1974-81and then again with their best-known line-up still intact from 1993-2015.They were called, "...the finest progressive band that America produced...even at it's most complicated, (they) sounded effortless & convincing” by Fred Frith. They also acted as Fred’s backing bandon his first post-Henry Cow solo album, GravityIt is an all-too-rare occurrence for a band, throughout its career, to create music that continually pushes the envelope and transforms the landscape. It is an even rarer occurrence for such a band to reunite after a long separation, and embark on a second musical career that continues to be as innovative as the first.The Muffins, a group equally influenced by the then-current British progressive rock sounds of bands such as Henry Cow, National Health and Soft Machine as they were by contemporary American jazz and improvisational artists like Anthony Braxton, The Art Ensemble of Chicago, Sun Ra and Miles Davis, were formed in Washington, DC in the early 1970s and recorded three albums before disbanding in 1981. In 1998 the group reformed and recorded a further six albums. AllMusic describes their music as a 'unique blend of Canterbury progressive, fusion, improvisation and much more.'During their two lifetimes, the band performed at now legendary festival events, including the ZU Festival (NYC), the Rock In Opposition Festival (France), the Villa Celimontana Jazz Festival (Rome), Sonic Circuits (D.C.) and NEARFest (Bethlehem, PA), among many others.The band were a hugely creative force during both lifetimes, combing intense, rehearsal intensive compositions with spirited free play, and moving effortlessly between musical boundaries and genres. They were one of the great American contemporary music ensembles of our time.Baker’s Dozen is a 13 disc box set of nearly all previously unreleased live and studio recordings from 1975 - 2010! It includes 12 CDs, a DVD, and a huge, informative booklet. The entire box is a treasure trove of never seen and never heard material.

Miriodor - Boomerang (Official Audio) from the album Elements (Cuneiform Records) Cuneiform Records 2022-10-24 | Miriodor - "Boomerang" (Official Audio) from the album 'Elements' (Cuneiform Records). Easily purchase the album, here: cuneiformrecords.bandcamp.com/album/elementsBernard Falaise - guitars, bass, keyboards, banjo, turntablePascal Globensky - keyboards, synthesizers, pianoRémi Leclerc - drums, percussion, electronicsThere are no other bands in North America that sound even remotely like Miriodor, whose new album Elements is their 10th studio release since their founding in 1980. This likely has to do with where keyboardist Pascal Globensky, guitarist and bassist Bernard Falaise, and drummer Rémi Leclerc are based: the Canadian province of Quebec, a region that tilts strongly towards its own long history as a unique culture within otherwise English-speaking North America.Rapid changes of tone and pacing are a Miriodor trademark. “There are many different landscapes in the same piece,” Globensky agrees. “Sometimes we’ll go see a concert and some band will be keeping the same beat for 10 or 12 or 15 minutes, and we’ll be looking at each other and saying ‘Why do we complicate our lives like that, changing all the time?’ But that’s the way we’re doing our music.”Importantly, even though Miriodor is strictly an instrumental ensemble, its tunes always tell a story. “The music has to convey some images, or some cinematic aspect,” Globensky clarifies. “If we don’t see something in our mind, something moving in our head, we will discard it. We like that cinematic aspect. There’s a sense of being just a part of something bigger, and if you listen to our music you can see that there’s many layers and a lot of intertwining lines, nesting lines, and repeated lines. And there’s no clear definition of what Elements is all about, but I think it relates to that.”While Globensky cautions that Elements might be Miriodor’s last release, he also maintains that it’s their best.“As we get older we learn stuff in life and we learn stuff about music, and I think we’re getting better at it,” he says with a philosophical laugh. “And that’s something I said to Rémi recently: ‘Well, it’s a bit of a shame if this is the last one, because we’re starting to get good!’”

MIRIODOR Elements teaser. Video artist : Xavier Sénéchal - Studio Urubu Cuneiform Records 2022-09-21 | "Elements", the tenth studio album by MIRIODOR is released October 28, 2022-----With nothing to lose, nothing to do, they agreed to take part in an experiment.The world was going havoc, wars were raging in many countries, viruses proliferating. Miriodor world tour (their second of the year) was halted by an order of the Planet Commander in chief who declared a global confinement due to the pandemic. The crew was forced to land at a military airport in Antartica. No one, anywhere around the globe, could move anymore. Every person on Earth was confined to their home or to the location they were in at the time the Order was promulgated.Stranded, the Miriodor crew accepted to be the guinea-pigs of an experiment conducted on the military base adjacent to the airport. They would get a shot of an experimental vaccine called ‘Boomerang’, aptly named for its ability to kick in anytime their bodies detected the presence of a virus or the recurrence of a virus. So they got the shot.Eventually, they set up their gear in order to occupy their days without sunlight, their days of darkness. But when they began to play music, they noticed that this truly bizarre experimental drug had strange side-effects, giving them an extra-acute vision of all natural elements around them, up to the genetics. It was as if they were actually being able to tell the composition of everything around them, objects or life forms, down to the elements of the periodic table. They were able to see sound particles floating or moving in the air, completely altering their vision of music, of their music. When the containment was lifted, setting them free to move on with their global tour, they had 43 minutes of music.

Janel Leppin - Woven Forest / She Had Synesthesia (Official Audio) from Ensemble Volcanic Ash Cuneiform Records 2022-07-21 | Easily purchase 'Ensemble Volcanic Ash' by Janel Leppin, here: cuneiformrecords.bandcamp.com/album/ensemble-volcanic-ash A composer and cellist who’s honed a singular synthesis of composition, orchestration and improvisation, Janel Leppin is best known as half of the experimental duo Janel and Anthony, which she co-leads with her husband guitarist Anthony Pirog. The chamber-jazz Ensemble Volcanic Ash materialized after years of incubation on Washington D.C.’s verdant new music, jazz and improvised music scenes. With this release, she steps forward as a bandleader in her own right, delivering a gorgeous debut brimming with singular musicians. The seven-piece group melds an illustrious array of D.C. talent into a glimmering expressive organism that surges, expands, ebbs and dances in multiple directions at once.The powerhouse cast gets plenty of opportunities to shine, but it’s Leppin’s compositions that define the group in radiant, Technicolor splendor. Elegant and raw, persuasively logical and thrumming with emotion, her lapidary themes take shape with exquisite detail. Like with jazz’s most consequent composers, Leppin’s writing flows from the idiosyncratic voices in her ensemble, players who imbue every passage with their irrepressible personalities. As an instrumental voice she’s the first among equals, laying down expansive emotional parameters with each striking solo and cello-forward passage.On an instrument with only a handful of defining improvisers Leppin makes a forceful case for herself as one of jazz’s most original cellists. Which isn’t to say she dominates the proceedings. She creates alluring lines for the entire ensemble, who all shape the music profoundly and often erase the distinction between soloist and accompanist."This work is a braiding together of over 32 years of classical and jazz study on the cello with more than 20 years performing in Washington D.C.,” Leppin says. “It is a distinct place to learn and try new things. I've worked with some of these musicians for well over a decade and I think it shows in the music." The group’s expanded sonic palette and vast textural resources unleashed Leppin as both a composer and a player. “It freed me up,” she said. “Having Luke Stewart in the band gave me the chance to step out more comping-wise. I could be in the midrange a bit more and solo more often. With that kind of support I found I could play more assertively like my favorite cellists, Abdul Wadud and Pablo Casals. It was a big evolution to let go of playing the role of bassist in the group.” ----Janel Leppin – Cello, KeyboardsLuke Stewart – BassKim Sator – HarpAnthony Pirog – GuitarLarry Ferguson – DrumsSarah Hughes – Alto SaxophoneBrian Settles – Tenor SaxophoneCompositions by Janel Leppin.Recorded by Mike Reina at The Brink Analog and Digital Studio, Centreville, VA on January 23, 2022.Mixed and mastered by Mike Reina.

Balungan - Kangen (Official Audio) from Kudu Bisa Kudu (Cuneiform Records) Cuneiform Records 2022-04-26 | Easily Purchase, here: cuneiformrecords.bandcamp.com/album/kudu-bisa-kudu-2cuneiformrecords.bandcamp.com/album/kudu-bisa-kudu-hd-24-48By the end of 2022, Indonesia will see the completion of its first high-speed rail line. According to the globe-trotting musicians of Balungan, however, the train is already at the station. The 13-member band kicks off its debut, Kudu Bisa Kudu, with the nostalgic steam whistle and intentionally garbled boarding call of “Javanese TGV”, but as soon as the driving bassline gears ups, it’s clear that we’re riding a 21st-century conveyance. Gang vocals, hairpin-curve guitars, and accelerating arpeggios played on tuned percussion also announce that this is a multicultural journey — and in fact the group is made up of seven of Java’s most open-minded gamelan virtuosos, plus six equally adventurous rock musicians from the south of France.Gamelan — Indonesia’s national music, based on intricately subdivided polyrhythms and played on shining, lavishly decorated bronze metallophones—has been an influence on European and North American musicians for more than a century. Artists as diverse as classical composers Maurice Ravel and Claude Debussy, jazz traveller Don Cherry, pioneering minimalist Lou Harrison and progressive rock groups Gong and King Crimson have incorporated gamelan-like rhythms into their sound.But there’s never been a gamelan-based cultural exchange as equitable as Balungan, named after the Javanese word for “skeleton”, which is also used to describe the core melody of a musical composition. Nor has there been one as loud. The Javanese members of the band attack their gendèrs, gongs, and bonangs “like a rock ensemble,” says drummer and project sparkplug Guigou Chenevier, founding member of France’s original Rock In Opposition group Etron Fou Leloublan.Balungan wasn’t going to be about rock musicians playing gamelan, or vice versa: one singular feature of the live concert immortalized on Kudu Bisa Kudu is that every musician has written a piece, with the arrangements developed collectively. What’s most impressive about Kudu Bisa Kudu, perhaps, is that the ensemble manages to be both coherent and diverse, even in the live setting. Despite its size and schizophonic nature, Balungan sounds like a band, in part because the performers, recognizing that their time together would be limited, honoured their commitment to rehearsing eight hours a day, every day. But Chenevier also points out that he and his fellow French musicians were inspired by their Javanese colleagues’ inclusive and boundary-free attitude towards art and life.“When you are a musician playing gamelan in Java, you learn everything at first,” he continues. “You learn music, of course, but you also learn dance, you learn poetry, you learn puppets… all that goes into the full show of the shadow theatre. And only then do you choose a speciality. So it was very interesting working with these people, because they are very big fans of the stage, of theatre, and they know how to add often very funny stuff on-stage. So it was very alive; each performance we did was a surprise.” Guigou Chenevier – drumsLoïc Guénin – keyboardsLaurent Frick – vocalsGilles Laval – guitarLaurent Luci – guitarFranck Testut – bassSetyanto Prajoko – gamelanSudaryanto – gamelanTri Widiantoro – gamelanSetyaji Dewanto – gamelanSutikno – gamelanBagus Ariyanto Seputro Nasution – gamelanDesyana Wulani Putri – gamelanConcert recorded live at la Garance (Scène Nationale de Cavaillon), France on May 23, 2017.

Soft Machine - Out-Bloody-Rageous from Facelift France and Holland (Cuneiform Records) Cuneiform Records 2022-03-23 | Buy 'Facelift France and Holland' here...Bandcamp: cuneiformrecords.bandcamp.com/album/facelift-france-and-holland-3 Wayside Music: http://www.waysidemusic.com/Music-Products/Soft-Machine-Facelift-France-and-Holland-2-x-CDs-plus-DVD__Rune-spc-495-fslsh-496-fslsh-497.aspxFrom their beginnings as a psychedelic rock band in 1966, sharing stages with Pink Floyd and the Jimi Hendrix Experience, to being one of the originators of electric jazz/rock by early 1969, Britain’s Soft Machine were restlessly creative. Facelift France and Holland captures them at a pivotal moment in the first quarter of 1970 as a short-lived quintet, just before they recorded and released their breakthrough album Third.As broadcast on the French TV programme Pop 2, the film of Soft Machine’s concert at Paris’ Théâtre de la Musique, which constitutes the main course of the present release, stands as an exceptional document of the band at, arguably, its artistic peak.It is the earliest footage of the band to be commercially released and also the only video footage known to exist of the quintet line-up that was active from January to March 1970. The broadcast contains the only professionally-recorded performance of “Out-Bloody- Rageous” with Lyn Dobson on second sax and it also is the only professionally-recorded alternative performance by the quintet of “Facelift” (the original appearing as the opening track on Third).Facelift France and Holland marks the first official release of the entire show in both audio and video format. Footage of the concert was previously released in 2008 on DVD, but we have gone through the original footage once again to improve video quality as well as remove or lessen soundtrack issues including fake applause and hard edits.In addition to the March, 1970 material presented here on CD and DVD in splendid stereo sound and looking better than it ever has before, Disc 3 presents a previously unreleased soundboard performance at Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw from January 17, 1970.Every Soft Machine fan needs this."A love affair with France preserved on film - shot with tangible cinematic flair at Paris' photogenic Theatre De La Musique in March 1970, this superb quality live footage of the Softs at their freewheeling peak was originally broadcast on French Television...Like the sounds fashioned onstage by Messrs Wyatt, Hopper, Ratledge, Dean and Dobson the visual style here is both highly fluid and refreshingly free of the stylistic cliches all too familiar from countless lookalikes in concert films...With the Softs flying high sans safety net and previewing material from their upcoming album Third, the audience in raptures, Robert Wyatt looking like the younger brother of Brian Jones and the sight of Orangina bottles decorating the top of the amps, this is a hugely evocative period piece made all the more vivid by the warm hues of the colour film stock. They sure don't make 'em like this any more." – Grahame Bent, Record Collector Elton Dean – Alto sax, saxelloLyn Dobson – Soprano and tenor sax, flute, harmonica, vocalsHugh Hopper – BassMike Ratledge – Hohner Pianet, Lowrey Holiday Deluxe organRobert Wyatt – Drums, vocalsCD One: Recorded at Théâtre de la Musique, Paris, France, March 2, 1970.

Since 2004, he has been leading and working with the more ‘rock’ oriented quartet Yang.The European quartet’s fourth release, Designed For Disaster — their second for Cuneiform — is Yang’s first to feature singing, although the use of words is “meant to communicate an impression and not meaning”, Frédéric points out. A good example of this is the album’s track “Words”. as demonstrated by the new album’s fifth track, “Words”. Over an ominously martial beat, L'Épée and his bandmates shout single-word slogans: “Stark”, “Frei”, “Fight”, “Klang”, “Bruit”, et cetera. These are almost but not quite drowned out by a barrage of distorted electric guitars; the effect is that an unknown and threatening authority figure is issuing enigmatic orders, with consequence for those who don’t obey. It’s eerie, and unsettling.With Designed for Disaster, his compositions primarily have their genesis in Baroque music, minimalism, and of course the progressive rock he gravitated towards as a teenager, with King Crimson’s Robert Fripp as his acknowledged influence, but there are passages on Designed For Disaster that sound very much like what Steve Reich might have arrived at had he been writing for two guitars, electric bass, and drums rather than for percussion ensemble.But there are other factors that L'Épée, as Yang’s sole composer, constantly takes into consideration. One of these has to do with the group of accomplices he’s assembled: bassist Nico Gomez, he notes, has a gift for melody; guitarist Laurent James has a complementary ear for texture; and drummer Volodia Brice is capable of negotiating the most complex time signatures. “What is happening is that every musician plays with his own personality, and I compose with those personalities,” he adds. “For another lineup, I would not compose the same at all.”

(and beyond) music scene for almost two decades, introduces his protean trio with Chicago drum legend Chad Taylor and powerhouse DC saxophonist Brian Settles.A casual observer of the Washington D.C. music scene could easily get the mistaken impression that there are four or five guys coincidentally named Luke Stewart playing leading roles in a disparate array of musical communities. In fact, Stewart is a singular, uncontainable artist whose work as a bassist, saxophonist, producer, broadcaster, and all-around mover and shaker has deepened and extended the District’s legacy as a hotbed for creative music.Given his many pursuits, a single album can only capture a small portion of Stewart’s oceanic sonic continuum, but The Bottom offers a deep dive into a particularly inviting pool with his loose and limber trio making their debut here.A highly cohesive triumvirate in close communion, the band plays with the conversational ease of longtime, comfortable friends. Untethered to any particular stylistic convention, particularly bebop’s head-solo-head format, the music’s ebb and flow feels utterly in the moment.“I approached the recording session as closely as possible to playing a set, arranging the sequence with that in mind,” says Stewart, who was born and raised in Mississippi. “Like a set compositions are coupled by moments of free improvisation, but that free improv is contextualized by what happened before and after. It’s a journey, and the recording session reflects that.”
Henry Kaiser : REQUIEM FOR BRUCE ANDERSON Cuneiform Records 2022-01-13 | Short Bruce Anderson bio:psychofonrecords.com/product/mx-80-hougher-house-2cdMX-80, also known as MX-80 Sound, is an eclectic American art-rock band founded in 1974 in Bloomington, Indiana, United States, by guitarist Bruce Anderson. Considered “one of the most out of step but prescient bands of its time”,MX-80’s signature sound consisted of breakneck metallic guitar combined with atonal chord structure, cross-rhythmic percussion and dispassionate vocals. Notoriously difficult to categorize—the band has been labeled noise rock, post-punk,acid punk,and heavy-metal – MX-80’s sonic melange set the stage for bands such as Swans, Sonic Youth, Codeine, and Shellac.Quadruped site:mx80sound.com/quadruped-mediaWikipedia:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MX-80MX-80 site:mx80sound.comTHE SIAMESE STEP BROTHERS album on Cuneiform with Bruce and Henry:cuneiformrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-siamese-stepbrothersBruce with HK Band audio favorites:youtube.com/watch?v=G3ylKRbOkJEyoutube.com/watch?v=fPitSmboqxgyoutube.com/watch?v=SLJdjgRPZhcMore Bruce Anderson in HK YouTube shows:youtube.com/watch?v=q_tAbiIy2-MHK BAND at THE PALMS:youtube.com/watch?v=cHNseVYZ0MMyoutube.com/watch?v=5hlMnMpWT1I
