Durham where I grew up (and my parents still live) and guitarist of Blessed Realm my brother's Doom Rock/Metal band at the time. This was the first of many Experimental sessions we did together from 1997-2000. I'm particularly fond of this one as it was so spur of the moment after getting stoned listening to Skullflower and Total all night and being inspired by tracks like youtu.be/ojLLesU6kKk We turned up at the studio as it was closing hoping to do an overnight session and thankfully Nathan let us in for FREE as he owed me a favour, loaned us any gear we needed (including his gorgeous SG guitar) and basically just said make sure the door is shut behind you when you leave which we did at 7am in the morning with our ears completely ringing and both stoned to fuck but satisfied and looking forward to listening to what we had recorded. No sections of the recording have ever been released. We each have a copy but no private copies made for friends. No-one has even heard it barring my old housemate and a friend (hello Rob Holden & Rob Kito!).Image : L-R Jonny & Gillham at Hill End, Weardale, Co.

The first date, at London's Jazz Cafe, comprised of the following musicians: Tony Irving, Stefan Jaworzyn, Simon Fell, Lee Ranaldo, Thurston Moore, Alan Wilkinson (saxes), Lol Coxhill (soprano sax), Pat Thomas (piano). This collective performed an hour-long improvisation where members dropped in and out of the proceedings at various points, and some highly-charged performances were wrung out (I remember an Irving/Thomas duet as being a particular highlight). The next performance three days later has gathered some amount of notoriety. Descension were supporting Sonic Youth at London's Forum, then touting their wares for the WASHING MACHINE album. A moronic proportion of the audience decided that being "forced" to listen to a non-"alternative" rock outfit was too much to bear, yelling out the usual abuse and throwing pint glasses and bottles stagewards. Descension coped well under the circumstances, if a little strained, until a projectile hit Tony Irving directly. Diving into the audience to altercate with the offender, he unfortunately jumped upon a girl who hadn't been responsible, who followed him back on-stage to "respond." She was dragged off by a bouncer, and the band quickly re-composed themselves. With a thoroughly polarised, hostile and near-violent atmosphere in the audience, Descension played an absolute storming 20 minutes, only curtailed by a pint of lager falling directly onto Stefan's pedals (the real danger of electrocution stopping him performing). The amazing response at the conclusion of their set had to be witnessed to be appreciated -- 50% of the audience booing and yelling abuse, 50% cheering wildly for Descension. Sonic Youth's wretchedly boring performance afterwards only served to make it further Descension's night." DESCENSION live @ The Forum, London April 19th 1996 youtu.be/npI9mM7rZJE

Diving into the audience to altercate with the offender, he unfortunately jumped upon a girl who hadn't been responsible, who followed him back on-stage to "respond." She was dragged off by a bouncer, and the band quickly re-composed themselves. With a thoroughly polarised, hostile and near-violent atmosphere in the audience, Descension played an absolute storming 20 minutes, only curtailed by a pint of lager falling directly onto Stefan's pedals (the real danger of electrocution stopping him performing). The amazing response at the conclusion of their set had to be witnessed to be appreciated -- 50% of the audience booing and yelling abuse, 50% cheering wildly for Descension. Sonic Youth's wretchedly boring performance afterwards only served to make it further Descension's night." DESCENSION live @ The Forum, London April 19th 1996 youtu.be/npI9mM7rZJE
4/4 ATOMIC JAM feat. ASCENSION/DESCENSION, SONIC YOUTH etc live @ London Jazz Cafe April 14th 1996 blackoperations 2022-04-02 | UNRELEASED RECORDINGPart 4 of 4 'ATOMIC JAM' live @ London Jazz Cafe April 14th 1996 ALAN WILKINSON - saxes SIMON H FELL - double bass LEE RANALDO - guitar LOL COXHILL - soprano sax PAT THOMAS - piano STEFAN JAWORZYN - guitar THURSTON MOORE - guitar TONY IRVING - drums From http://www.korperschwache.com/skull/disc/stefan_disc.html "It was perfect timing that in April 1996, both Ascension and Descension members performed two dates with, respectively, Lee Ranaldo, Thurston Moore, and Sonic Youth. The first date, at London's Jazz Cafe, comprised of the following musicians: Tony Irving, Stefan Jaworzyn, Simon Fell, Lee Ranaldo, Thurston Moore, Alan Wilkinson (saxes), Lol Coxhill (soprano sax), Pat Thomas (piano). This collective performed an hour-long improvisation where members dropped in and out of the proceedings at various points, and some highly-charged performances were wrung out (I remember an Irving/Thomas duet as being a particular highlight). The next performance three days later has gathered some amount of notoriety. Descension were supporting Sonic Youth at London's Forum, then touting their wares for the WASHING MACHINE album. A moronic proportion of the audience decided that being "forced" to listen to a non-"alternative" rock outfit was too much to bear, yelling out the usual abuse and throwing pint glasses and bottles stagewards. Descension coped well under the circumstances, if a little strained, until a projectile hit Tony Irving directly. Diving into the audience to altercate with the offender, he unfortunately jumped upon a girl who hadn't been responsible, who followed him back on-stage to "respond." She was dragged off by a bouncer, and the band quickly re-composed themselves. With a thoroughly polarised, hostile and near-violent atmosphere in the audience, Descension played an absolute storming 20 minutes, only curtailed by a pint of lager falling directly onto Stefan's pedals (the real danger of electrocution stopping him performing). The amazing response at the conclusion of their set had to be witnessed to be appreciated -- 50% of the audience booing and yelling abuse, 50% cheering wildly for Descension.
