Barbican Foyer, London.  8th May 1995  afternoon

May Bank Holiday in 1995 was moved to the second Monday to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the end of WWII.  So that's why it felt like a Sunday.  It was a mini jazz fest, I think, in the foyer of the Barbican.  Mujician were just one of several bands playing.  So there were loads of people who'd come out, sitting on the floor, kids running round.  I managed to hunker down near the piano and got this amazing cassette recording.  Enjoy.

About Audio Letter:
The Past... In 1979, long before Seattle was known for Cobain and Cornell, vocalist/violinist Sharon Gannon and guitarist Sue Ann Harkey formed, as Gannon describes it, "a stream-of-consciousness experiment" which they dubbed Audio Letter. Although other musicians would drift in and out of their orbit, the duo remained a constant as their experimental nature allowed Gannon to incorporate her interests in alchemy, meditation, and Eastern philosophy into their work.

Relocating to New York in 1983, Gannon and Harkey became fixtures in the downtown experimental and world music scene, finding fellow musicians such as John Zorn, Fred Firth and Ikue More to be kindred spirits. Audio Letter's wholly improvised gigs in East Village venues like Life Cafe and 8BC attracted a growing number of fans including legendary jazz trumpeter Don Cherry, drummer Denis Charles, and artist/musician David Life. Collaborations with Cherry, Charles, and Life resulted in It Is This, It Is Not This, Audio Letter's first album, released in 1987.

The album garnered enthusiastic critical acclaim in the underground music world exemplified by future Rolling Stone critic Ann Powers who, then writing for The Rocket, described it as a "philosophical and musical stew different than any other aural communication in Seattle." However, the world had not yet awakened from the Reagan years and Audio Letter disbanded in 1988. Gannon and Harkey simply waited for the times to catch up to them

Since there seems to be a bit of interest in Rypdal at the moment, here is a set I dragged out of the archives. This was posted in our conributions section as high-grade mp3s, but since I had the flac files lying about, I thought I might as well put them here.

Terje Rypdal Trio
April 4, 1973
Sendesaal, Bremen

Terje Rypdal (g, fl)
Barre Phillips (b)
Jon Christensen (d)

Disc 1
Journal (B. Phillips)    7:04
Horizon (T. Rypdal)    11:12
Black Boy (T. Rypdal)    9:36
Back of J. (B. Phillips)    4:05
Bend It (T. Rypdal) (inc)    14:52

Disc 2
Electric Fantasy (T. Rypdal)    11:00
Event IV (G. Russell)    5:33
Rainbow (T. Rypdal)    8:18
Icing (T. Rypdal-J. Christensen)    15:02
Tough Enough (T. Rypdal) (inc)    6:45

More than 90 minutes in all.

Jon Christensen was with the Jan Garbararek Group at the time and so was Rypdal initially, though I think he might have left by the time of this recording. Barre Phillips was in John Surman's Trio, but the trio might have disbanded by 1973.

Basically improvisational, good sound and to my knowledge, never officially released.

Following up the earlier posting of Min Bul, here is a 25 - minute clip from Norwegian TV archives. It was shown om 27 February 1970 and is divided into two parts. First is an introduction by composer Kåre Kolberg and Svein Finnerud himself and then there is a twenty-minute clip from a performance at Centralteateret in Oslo on 14 November 1969.

Bjørnar Andresen (bass) and Espen Rud (drums) made up two-thirds of Min Bul and the Svein Finnerud Trio continued in this form until the mid-70s. The trio was resurrected in the early 90s, but with new drummers replacing Espen Rud. Svein Finnerud died in 2000 and Bjørnar Andresen in 2004. Finnerud and Andresen had known each other since childhood days and they cooperated right until the end. While Jan Garbarek and Terje Rypdal launched international careers through their association with the ECM label, the Finnerud Trio reamined fairly unknown despite being very much part of the scene in the late 60s.

I have transcribed the introductions, which are in Norwegian, but will need some time to have them translated.  Two key terms are found sounds and musical theatre and how those can be combined will be fairly obvious in the first part of their performance. After that they seque into Plastic Sun, the title tune of their second album.

This was taken from a series of programmes titled "Musikk utenfor alfarvei" (literally Music outside the main road) and we will have more programmes posted here in the time to come.

Here we have a rather obscure example of improvised music. I've stumbled on this release while doing my regular unsystematic but occaisonally fruitful researches.

Lilli Friedemann (* 17. Juni 1906 in Kiel; † 20. Dezember 1991 in Mölln) was a German violin and viola player and an improviser.
A pupil of a.o. Paul Hindemith she developed from the mid 1950s onward the socalled „Musikalische Gruppenimprovisation“ (musical group improvisation).
1964 she founded the „Ring für Gruppenimprovisation“ (ring for group improvisation). This was followed by the a series of writings called „Ringgespräch für Gruppenimprovisation“ (ring-talks for group improvisation).
Her first experiments towards an improvised music were through accompanying theatre performances.
In 1986 she founded the group "Ex Tempore". With this ensemble she brougt her way of group-improvising to the public.
She was also a pioneer in historically informed performances of baroque-music in Germany.

1968 she became university lecturer in Hamburg.
Today her knowledge in playing and her writings are applied mainly in music-therapy.
Her script "Ordnung ohne Herrschaft" (order without lesdership/dominance), on which she worked until her death, remains unfinished.
Her first example of improvised music was released in 1969: "kollektivimprovisation als studium und gestaltung neuer musik".

Somehow, while reading the book, I had the impression, that the music on this vinyl was produced without much knowledge of what was going on in improvised music all around the world since the end of the 1950s.
But wether this is an approbriate observation is a moot point.

The title in Englisch: A1- meter and opposition; A2 - two sound-pictures as a riddle; B1 - fog-horns; B2 - mot-play
"einstiege in neue klangbereiche durch gruppenimprovisation"means "entering into new areas of sound through group improvising"





Performer:
Arend Schmidt, Beate Quaas, Brigitte Emmel, Frank Grootaers,
Lilli Friedemann, Reiner Juhl, Ulrike Gruß, Wilhelm Schulz



A1. Metrum Und Opposition  4:26
A2. Zwei Klangbilder Als Rätsel  2:11
B1. Nebelhörner 3:34
B2. Mot-Spiel 2:40

- Metrum und Opposition (seven players)
- Zwei Klangbilder als Rätsel (for seven to eight players)
- Nebelhörner (eight players)
- Mot-Spiel (a. two players with identical instruments improvise over a "Mot";
a third one offers contrast. b. two players with different instruments improvise over a "Mot";
a third one uses a simple "Contra-Mot". )
