John Zorn And Thurston Moore: “@” [#7643]

Screeches, Scratches, Knocks, Bangs, Explosions and Howls in the Night! “@” is a fabulous studio recording of duo improvisations from two downtown masters, each responsible for some of the most dynamic music ever to come out of downtown NY. Both long-time supporters of extreme music and proponents of free improvisation, John and Thurston are brilliant improvisers and have worked with everyone from Derek Bailey, Milford Graves and Evan Parker to Cecil Taylor, Fred Frith, Han Bennink and beyond. Exhibiting a deep musical connection, they come together here for the first time to create a fabulous program of varied and powerful duo improvisations. “@” presents the community of NY’s Downtown scene at its collaborative best.

Have any of the SY crew ever done anything with Zorn before, live or recorded?

Thurston Moore certainly has performed with John Zorn in recent times. He was part of the line-up for the 2011 Annual End of the Year Improv Party, and played with John Zorn and Sylvie Courvoisier. There's a brief excerpt on youboob:

More action by the duo of Moore & Zorn in this video (recorded at Le Poisson Rouge, in 2012):

There's a new Caught On Tape release currently in the works, judging by a post by Sonelab Studios on facemook:

(J) after a week recording in NYC, I back at the lab with Caught On Tape tracking some amazing improvs. If you haven't heard of them, look 'me up! (Note the huge monolith of gear at the end of my console, too!)

Picked up the new Kim Gordon record from White Columns, "Walks with Men". It's pretty sweet. They were selling regular and signed editions for $20/$100. There were also T-shirts for the Design Office art show.

According to Rockdelux, a new book on Sonic Youth, "Estragos de una Juventud Sónica", by Ignacio Julià, is just right about to be released (Thanks to sergisonic for the heads-up):

Also, I thought this should be mentioned: Whereas Tzadik has not made it available yet, Orkhestra from France apparently is now taking pre-orders for John Zorn & Thurston Moore's "@" already (which means it's very likely just around the corner):

Most places are showing this as released on 30th September (although the date is still TBA on Tzadik).

This release seems to be going largely unnoticed. Are any copies finding their way into shops or online stores?

As far as I know it's only available from White Columns. No online ordering that I know of.

You're welcome! the book is really excellent, Ignacio Julià is the co-author of highly recommended 'I dreamed of noise' book, too.

His last book was the excellent deluxe reedition 'Feed back: The Velvet Underground, legend and truth'

Take a look (pictures, with Thurston holding up a VU & Nico LP)

Lovely cover, by the way!

 


AMG's review (3½ stars, in case that matters...):

Quote:
Put to tape in a single live session one evening in February of 2013, @ finds two of New York City's longest-running fringe dwellers churning out sheets of collaborative sounds that conjoin their respective and distinct states of constant freak-out. Thurston Moore, known best for his decades of noisy pop with Sonic Youth, has always sought shelter in an array of far noisier side projects, and here he offers only electric guitar improvisations, clattering and chiming but not quite as all-out in the cacophonous noise directions as he can sometimes veer. John Zorn, playing only sax, actually tends to be the wilder of the two in their duets, blowing skronky and continuous runs midway between Albert Ayler's spiritual blasts of mayhem and the gritty downtown N.Y.C. sound he helped helm with his Tzadik label and its scene of improvisers. The connectivity of the duo is impressive, especially in moments of complete and unexpected synchronicity that come on more sprawling tracks like "Strange Neighbor" and the unfortunately titled but dutifully ripping feedback fest "Jazz Laundromat." The quieter moments of @ find less willful instrument destruction, but just as sideways of a look into structured improvisation. "Her Sheets" builds on droning, contemplative sax figures from Zorn as Moore scratches and picks at his guitar until a looming cushion of sound eventually forms, womb-like, around the both of them. These seven improvisations sound inspired without feeling at all heavy-handed or urgent. More so, @ succeeds with the type of conversational playing that could only be achieved by two masters so deep into their craft that it probably feels a lot like breathing to them by now.

Yeah, I heard about this release a few days ago. Forty-five copies. I fail to see the point in releasing something that virtually no one will ever own and get to hear. Does anyone else ever get the impression that Thurston and company aren't truly interested in having the general public hear such stuff?

noisereductions 10.06.2013 04:05 PM
where's SYR10?

where's the next live album?

where's EVOL dlx?

It´s quite hard to me understand why Thurston let those small companies release his material because they´re mostly not working so well. I have no interest to them anymore because I don´t want to wait half years from the release date til I get the album, also be that time in insecurity am I really getting the whole album. If I find them to the decent shop from Finland, I will buy them (or of course through matador, three loped of kung fu, never got any problems with those).

The Manhand record label that released these Caught On Tape cassettes is John Moloney's own label. He told me that he might do a larger edition release of this in the future...

Well, maybe mr. Moloney is doing proper business. I know he´s mate from Feeding Tube Records doesn´t. I tried to order the first Caught On Tape from Feeding Tube & there were problems caused only by feeding tube. Finally I cancelled my order and bought album about half years later from Finnish shop (it was also almost half cheaper).

Yeah, John sounds like a pretty decent fella. He told me in an email that Acting The Maggot might be released in a larger edition on vinyl with a regular cover. Actually, we should 'petition' John to do larger editions of these albums. I quite like them. I'd like to see An Irish Prayer on vinyl too.

What do y'all think.

Lee Ranaldo and the Dust or Chelsea Light Moving, which was better release for 2013? Body/Head?

Rank em.

For me..

(1) Last Night on Earth 7/10
(2) Chelsea Light Moving 6/10
(3) Body/Head 6/6

By the way, 6 is a solid record from me so those aren't meant to diss. 8=heavy rotation, 9= life changing, 10=all-time best..

stu666 10.08.2013 01:39 AM
There will be a Thurston Moore with Michael Chapman live track on a new Michael Chapman album.

For me, 'Last Night On Earth' is the best album. That'll be the one I'll be playing the most in the future.

As for CLM and Body/Head, they are almost equal to me. Maybe I like B/H just a little bit more at the moment. I think it'll all depend of the mood I'm in when choosing which one I'll put on.

Overall, I really like each record in their own way. They all have a nice & different vibe to them. It's been a very good year, if you ask me.
