I got this Fred Frith box set recently, and last night was my first listen to Killing Time by Massacre. Definitely one of those albums that pushes my specific buttons so hard it makes me wonder why I didn’t already have this album years ago!

grimy fart noise beat, printer malfunction sounds as melody, dying fax machine, distant yell accents with spoken lyrics that are Closer to god but inverted. Yeah this counts as music right?

There's a 13 minute version on Bill Laswell's Bandcamp

Bill Laswell is a brilliant bassist who belongs to one of my fave categories of musicians: folks who became masters at the craft then spent the rest of their career deconstructing or using their craft differently. He makes a lot of instrumental world music by getting other brilliant musicians to just jam on whatever cultural style they're used to tied together by his clever bass work. He's also one of the earlier musicians to dabble in dub, the Jamaican and Jamaican diaspora mixing style that became the 'remix', DnB, dubstep.

Wadada Leo Smith and Orange Wave Electric - what a lineup!

Trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith with Orange Wave Electric, an all-star electric band including guitarists Nels Cline, Brandon Ross and Lamar Smith; bassists Bill Laswell and Melvin Gibbs; electronic musician Hardedge; percussionist Mauro Refosco; and drummer Pheeroan akLaff. Throughout 2022, Wadada Leo Smith celebrated his 80th birthday with one of the most prolific and creative year’s worth of releases in his – and perhaps anybody’s – history to date. Lest anyone should imagine that this breathtaking run was in any way valedictory, the now 81-year-old Smith returns with his first of several planned releases for 2023. The exhilarating Fire Illuminations, due out March 31, 2023 on Smith’s own Kabell Records label, features his newly assembled ensemble Orange Wave Electric.

Ever innovative in his quest for new methods of composing, guiding, and creating improvised music, Smith crafted the five expansive compositions on Fire Illuminations in the studio from a series of recording dates conducted and edited over the course of nearly four years. He cites such precedents as the groundbreaking work of Jamaican reggae and dub innovator Lee “Scratch” Perry and Miles Davis classics like Bitches Brew and On the Corner.
