It's time for Beginnings, the podcast where writer and performer Andy Beckerman talks to the comedians, writers, filmmakers and musicians he admires about their earliest creative experiences and the numerous ways in which a creative life can unfold.

On today's episode, I talk to musician and composer Zeena Parkins. Originally from Detroit, Michigan, Zeena is a pioneer of contemporary harp practices and has essentially "reinvented the harp". Since moving to New York in 1984, Zeena has collaborated with countless musical luminaries like John Zorn, Ikue Mori, Elliott Sharp and Bjork, recorded over a dozen fantastic albums and collected more accolades than you could count in a week, including a Guggenheim Fellowship. For 13 years, Zeena held the prestigious Darius Milhaud Chair in Composition at Mills College, and at the end of June, her latest album of compositions LACE will be released on Chaikin Records!

Pauline Oliveros and Apartment House — Sound Pieces (Another Timbre)

(L) Pauline Oliveros/(R) Anton Lukoszeviewze/photo by Michal Rasmus  

Sound Pieces by Pauline Oliveros and Apartment House

Texas-born accordionist, composer and writer Pauline Oliveros spent much of her life cultivating music, consciousness and support systems that all grew organically despite layers of cultural and institutional disregard. Her music has endured beyond her demise, as evidenced by a continuing flow of new records. Some are archival sessions featuring Oliveros herself that are either being issued for the first time or reissued on new formats, but others are new performances that draw attention to her compositions. Sound Pieces falls into the latter category.

This recording is the latest artifact of the prolific ongoing partnership between Apartment House, a London-based new music ensemble, and the Another Timbre label, which has commissioned the group to record pieces by composers of the 20th and 21st centuries. This time, however, the suggestion came from Apartment House’s founder/cellist, Anton Lukoszeviewze; this is music that he and his associates wanted to make. 

The album comprises six compositions, which Oliveros composed between 1975 and 1984. While the ensemble convened 13 musicians to make the album, only Lukoszeviewze plays on every track. The instrumentation ranges from the violin-cello-piano trio that plays “Tree / Peace (1984),” which at 41:44 duration takes up more than half the album, to the seven-piece mixtures of winds and strings the realize “From unknown silences (1996)” and “Sound Piece (1998).” “Tree / Peace” is the only composition with prescribed pitch material, all the other scores being textual. 

Despite the differences in ensemble size and configuration, decade of origin and the nature of the instructions given, there’s a strong similarity of feeling throughout Sound Pieces. The music is wide open to a variety of sounds, including fairly familiar instrumental voicings, small rustlings, woodwind articulations that reach far east of the locales that Oliveros and Apartment House have called home and strings that groan like as sailing ships rigging near the point of failure. But it is also performed with absolute economy, so that even when a lot happens over a long period of time, nothing inessential occurs. Both the accumulating string drones of “Horse sings from cloud (1975)” and the sequences of whinnying brass and ephemeral whistles that comprise the titular track last just long enough to develop and resolve an absorbing tension. The same can be said for “Tree / Peace,” even though it lasts five times as long and is informed by a life cycle longer than any human’s. It would appear that while Oliveros’ scores require interpretation, they exert sufficient guidance that the music remains purposeful and cohesive throughout the disc’s generous length.

Setlist for anyone trying to find a particular artist from the Knit.

0:00 - "Hemachatus Haemachatus" (Track 1)

2:12 - "Naja Naja Atra" (Track 2)

5:52 - "Many-Banded Krait" (Track 3)

16:19 - "Taipan" (Track 4)

17:49 - "D. Popylepis" (Track 5)

18:29 - "Lampropeltis Doliata Syspila" (Track 6)

21:01 - "Boomslang" (Track 7)

32:08 - "Maticora Intestinalis" (Track 8)

38:21 - "Acanthopis Antarcticus" (Track 9)

42:21 - "Hydrophiidae" (Track 10) > (Abrupt cutoff @ 44:51) ================[CUTOFF]=================

I may have got some wrong since they're so difficult to distinguish, with the ambient noise and faded transitions and all. If my approximations are correct, that leaves 4 tracks missing, which would get it to about an hour in length.

How do you play John Zorn's COBRA

The BBC documentary series On the Edge: Improvisation in Music (1992) includes a short segment of Zorn explaining and conducting two versions of Cobra.[8] His goal with Cobra, Zorn said, was to "harness" the creative developments in improvisation and extended techniques by New York City's downtown scene musicians in a semi-structured way, but "without hindering" their performances; he was interested in telling the musicians when to play, and with whom, but without telling them what to play. Plus-Minus (1963, 1974) by German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen was a key inspiration for Zorn, inspiring him to develop methods play with or against each other and in response to his cues but without dictating specific notes, sounds, or other formal structures. Though Cobra can be performed by any number of musicians plus a prompter who handles the cards, Zorn has stated that at least ten musicians are ideal, with care taken in selecting the musicians based on their improvisational skills and personalities.[7]

ALL MUSIC REVIEW

Live at the Knitting Factory Review by Scott Yanow

Calling this set of performances bizarre would be an understatement. John Zorn inspired (through obscure game playing that is not explained anywhere on this CD) these 14 eccentric "tributes" to different types of cobras. Because many of the performances utilize samplers and voices (in addition to conventional instruments and miscellaneous devices), the wide range of sounds attained from the 87 musicians (heard in different combinations) is impressive, if often quite unlistenable, ranging from humorous interludes to very obnoxious noise. For a few examples, "Cobra 4" has a man screaming over and over again, "Cobra 2" features a sound collage with a male opera singer repeating the same four notes continuously, and "Cobra 5" has, among its many vocal noises, a man imitating a dog barking. There are some colorful segments, but in general, these self-indulgent performances would be much more interesting to see in person than to hear on record. Taken purely as a listening experience, one is surprised that this material has even been released.

It's time for Beginnings, the podcast where writer and performer Andy Beckerman talks to the comedians, writers, filmmakers and musicians he admires about their earliest creative experiences and the numerous ways in which a creative life can unfold.

On today's episode, I talk to composer and artist Arnold Dreyblatt. Originally from New York City, Arnold is part of the second generation of New York minimal composers, having studied with Pauline Oliveros, La Monte Young, and Alvin Lucier. His first album Nodal Excitation was released in 1982, and since then, he's recorded almost a dozen more, including 1995's Animal Magnetism, which was released on Tzadik. Based in Berlin since 1984, Arnold was Professor of Media Art at the Muthesius Academy of Art and Design in Kiel, Germany for almost a decade and a half and is currently deputy director of the visual arts section at the German Academy of Art. His most recent album Resolve was released last August on Drag City, and it is fantastic!
