the other day i picked up a cd by andrew chalk & jonathan coleclaugh, called sumac. anyone who digs serious drone -- the sawing, halo-of-harmonics kind -- should look into this. i'm reminded of robert rutman, but it's much more beautiful here. while the drone carries a sort of coiled intensity, there's also a sort of delicateness to the harmonics that materialize in the upper registers. a sort of fleeting beauty to them. it's incredibly nuanced. i don't know anything about either musician, but i'm certainly intrigued. anyone care to clue me in? p

This CD is a reissue (plus extra material) of a pic disc released a couple of years ago on Robot. Andrew Chalk's work dates back to the mid-80s, when he released cassettes as Ferial Confine and graduated from the school of David Jackman via an early incarnation of Organum (documented on the reissues of Flayed/Crux (Matchless) and a CD on Complacency). Lately, he's been cranking out cassettes and CD-Rs under the name Ora and has just started releasing records in collaboration with Christoph Heeman under the name Mirror (which just released a $53 CDR, sigh). There's also a solo persona, which I don't find to be quite as satisfying as his other projects. Coleclough is a little newer to the "scene" (first achieved "fame" via a prior collaboration with Chalk, in fact- I reckon this is ridiculously unavailable right now, as tends to be the case with these guys) and has put out a few unbelievably great solo CDs, the first of which is called _Cake_ and has just slipped out of print. If you dug Sumac, you'll probably want to get a hold of at least these, plus some of the primo Organum material (unending list, but get a hold of what's currently available, excepting the artwork-less CDs that came out last year and aren't particularly good). Going further afield, you might want to dip your toes into the pool of Morphogenesis, which has a kindred tap into the source of most of this improv-drone- the magical mountain spring of AMM (may it never run dry- the late 80s/90s work is probably most apropos; however, everyone should be privy to the hallowed AMMusic, recorded over 30 years ago and quietly splitting more minds open every single year). -rob --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
