Dorothy Moskowitz, cantante femenina de The United States Of America, después parte también de Country Joe & The Fish, reapareció sorpresivamente en 2023 nada menos que con 2 elepés y un EP firmado con Retep Folo.

Son discos de difícil catalogación, lo más fácil (o vago) sería decir que esto es "sicodélico", en las etiquetas de mi siempre respetada rateyourmusic.com los clasifican como "electroacustic" o "modern classical". Son discos duros, de difícil escucha, e interesantes que poco o nada tienen que ver con el rock.

"Under an Endless Sky", editado en marzo acreditado a Dorothy Moskowitz & The United States of Alchemy, se abre con el tema titular de casi 24 minutos. De "Rising to Eternity" (25 diciembre de 2023) extraigo "Metallic Rain", porque tal vez es la que más me ha recordado a su legendario grupo experimental TUSOA.

El de Moskowitz y el de Edgar Broughton han sido los regresos de viejas glorias más inesperados y sorprendentes del año pasado.

Retep Folo & Dorothy Moskowitz - The Afterlife EP - not only does Moskowitz have a new solo album out, here is a sample of her forthcoming album with Retep Folo, who has previously recorded for Clay Pipe Music

Feast your eyes & ears on a new EP by legendary vocalist, musician & songwriter Dorothy Moskowitz (United States Of America / Country Joe / United States Of Alchemy) & Swedish artist / musician Retep Folo a.k.a. Peter Olof Fransson (The Owl Report / Reportage / Exhadley). Fans of late 1960s & early 1970s psychedelia, experimental rock & eco-conceptual electronics take note - this is the real deal. Steeped in vintage instrumentation that alternates between avant-garde chorales, mystical mantras, slabs of fuzz guitar, whimsical keyboards, jagged synths & menacing percussion, Dorothy & Peter have produced a mesmerising collection on this 4 track EP (with a 14 track album 'The Afterlife' soon to follow). Repeat listens reveal a wealth of layered sounds, moods & messages within a finely crafted, heartfelt paene to nature's cycles & our fragile planet. Traversing aural landscapes akin to Mort Garson, Bruce Haack, Alessandro Alessandroni, Alain Goraguer, David Axelrod, Franco Battiato, Maria Monti, Brigitte Fontaine & Areski, early Broadcast & Portishead, this inspired collaboration invites you on a fantastic journey into the afterlife. video for Moon by Ana Proscila Rodriguez

I’ve played this show on bass about a million times. It’s almost identical to the version we all know. It’s easy, it goes down nicely, and even the college shows I’ve…

Talking with the USA

1ST ALBUM BY ELECTRONIC ROCK GROUP DUE SOON Naqhman Levine, Los Angeles Free Press, 9 February 1968

When you add up the total musical training of the United States of America you get something so immense it is frightening. But big things don't scare me. I went down to the Ash Grove to listen to, and hear about, their music.

Time Sequence No. 1: Several hours before their opening set, the USA is sitting around experimenting with mikes, getting tones, effects and weird sounds.

The amplifier man, Harvey Gerst, is rushing madly, putting all the sounds in their place, mixing, modulating. Everyone is getting ready. They now have several thousand dollars of new equipment, and it sounds like it.

Sequence 2: USA finishes a marvelous tight set. The integration of the synthesizer's output and the sheer ability of each musician adds up to having the audiences rapt. (Play“Louie, Louie!" someone yells.)

The happy marriage of hard rock and classical proves itself once more. Each musician's function rounds out the sound. Gordon's violin, out front doing classical work, blues scales, rock. Rand, on bass, who up until recently played jazz and classical stand-up bass, now makes a melodic monster of his instrument; a power that not only complements the band, but has a deftness of its own.

Craig, teacher of percussion at UCLA, integrates rhythms of many cultures, and gives power behind the group. Everything sounds RIGHT. Joseph Byrd is racing back and forth between the organ and his favorite toy, the electronic synthesizer. Dorothy, of course, offers her great trained voice.

Sequence 3: 

N. LEVINE: Joseph, I will ask you a question YOU asked Stockhausen a year ago. OK? Are there any types of music you like but which don't meet your aesthetic standards? JOSEPH BYRD: Not a one. Isn't that wonderful? (The tiny dressing room is getting decidedly overpopulated, but Joe and I fight on in the interests of communication or something.)

NL: How did you all meet at rock as a common point? JB: We all came from different things. I met Craig when he was at the African Studies Institute. Gordon was doing the music of Morton Feldman. Dorothy I met doing a project on Early American music. We were doing a lot of different things but we slowly evolved into rock and roll. (Dorothy Moskowitz walks in the room to tell me that Joe Byrd is a wonderful person and that she was born in Chicago in 1941. Joe laughs, says this night's set was the first time he ever felt like the Jefferson Airplane.)

NL: How does the album compare with the live act? JB: A little bit better. You can hear the vocals, the words, the balance is perfect. Sometimes it's a lot better. I went to New York with hopes of salvaging the album, but I would now say, quite modestly, that the album is a classic. And I was Just as surprised as anyone else.

NL: What influenced you in electronic music? JB: Oh, Stockhausen. For me he was a pioneer. He presented his music subtly. He doesn’t say, *Now we’re gonna play electronic music. Squeak! Crash!’ Also John Cage. Of course, he’s the most visceral. But the real Influence is this machine I have that Richard Burret made for me. I Just keep working with the synthesizer, and that’s where I get most of my ideas.

NL: Do you plan to experiment further within the confines of electronic music or will you leave it altogether and get into different things? JB: Sure, we’ll be doing other stuff as a natural change from electronics.

NL: What happened to Mike Agnello? JB: Well, his anti-establishment personality didn’t mesh with the commercial world of contracts, managers, the whole thing—he was threatened by a spectre of getting too close to the musical establishment; the business angle. So he went to the mountains.

NL: Gordon, how did you get into rock from your classical training? GM: Oh, I didn’t have to get in. I was always there. At 14, I was listening to Ramsey Lewis. Soul music. I was blues oriented. With the Beatles my interest in pop was strengthened. I was writing rock songs with Ed Bogus. This was for piano and I figured why couldn’t I do it with that instrument I do best at, violin.

So Joe Byrd came along, started a rock band and there I was. I’m doing primarily classical violin, a lot of rock, blues, but with ftizz tone, foot pedal, reverb, wa-wa. I wasn’t used to electric violin, except for a few times, but I adapted the instrument to rock where I really was all along.

NL: Dorothy, what was your influence that makes you part of the USA? DM: Four basic sources. Classic, ethnic, Jazz, and rock.

NL: How ethnic? DM: Indian. I studied sitar, ta-bla, tambura and voice. There’s a record coming out on Folkways with me on tambura.

NL: And how Jazz? DM: When I was very young, 10 or 11, I was all Involved with Jazz piano, emulating Jazz vocalists, all hung up with jazz. With the jazz decline in the 50s I went into rock.

NL: Did you ever use Indian vocal styles in the USA? DM: Yes, unconsciously. I never realized till later. You get so used to it.

NL: How does electronics fit in? DM: We're so involved in it, at least for me, that it's past. Ask Rand. He's really into it.

NL: And your classical training? DM: Piano. Melody and all. I did composing in college.

NL: Hey, Randl Dorothy says you're the one who's really into electronic music. RAND: Who, me? Now why did she say that? I liked the avant-garde music for the last 5 or 6 years. The best contemporary music is Polish music. Lutislav-sky string quartet. Best stuff out of a Communist country. They've got a great festival every year in Warsaw.

NL: How did you approach rock? RAND: Oh, we all approached from the technical level. But Gordon's the guy who has the soul, the funk. Like a blues singer brought up all his life in blues. He always was writing rock. He was Just always there.

NL: What's your function as a bass player? RAND: Well, mostly playing the bass lines in melodies. I like to fool around with the fuzz-tone, reverb, tremolo, wa-wa, all the weird noises. But the main thing is to function in making the complete sound of the group. 

If I could only describe the cascading mountains and cathedrals of their music, the melodic lines, the surrealism of the beeping synthesizer, the tight interplay of voices. The exchanged smiles and everyone digging what the other plays. But what's the use? Go see for yourself next time they come around.

[julio-viernes]

El origen de The United States Of America hay que buscarlo en el compositor Joseph Byrd y la letrista y cantante Dorothy Moskowitz que se conocieron en Nueva York a principios de 1963. El primero era un seguidor del compositor Charles Ives y estuvo asociado al movimiento de vanguardia Fluxus, Dorothy estudió música en el Barnard College y cantó en un grupo con Art Garfunkel. Ese mismo año los dos se mudaron a Los Angeles, donde Byrd comenzó un doctorado en etnomusicología en UCLA y formó el New Music Workshop con el trompetista de jazz Don Ellis. De un grupo efímero, que montó Byrd con su amiga Linda Ronstadt para amenizar un "happening", surgió la idea de formar una banda de rock con influencias de toda clase - como vemos, ellos en realidad no eran exactamente gente del rock-, banda que acabó materializándose en 1967 en Los Angeles con una filosofía ecléctica, abierta a todos los estilos musicales. Lo que más me gusta, lo que más gracia me hace, es la mezcla, el baile de nombres citado más arriba que aparentemente poco o nada tienen que ver. Pues bien, Byrd y Moskowitz acabaron firmando uno de los discos más variados, abiertos, imaginativos y brillantes registrados en los Estados Unidos en toda la década de los sesenta.

Dorothy Moskowitz - Rising to Eternity

Tompkins Square is proud to release “Rising to Eternity,” written and produced by singer/songwriter Dorothy Moskowitz. The album follows her acclaimed April 2023 release,' Under An Endless Sky." Moskowitz is an icon of underground culture who broke all kinds of new ground as a member of The United States of America. Led by the charismatic composer Joseph Byrd, the band released their lone eponymous album on Columbia Records in 1968. It has taken on a mythic status that has grown through the years, sampled by Diplo and Mac Miller and widely acknowledged as a visionary psychedelic classic. "Rising To Eternity" is a musical reverie about the WEBB Telescope, launched on Christmas Day of 2021. The telescope enables a more detailed exploration of the early universe than has ever been feasible before. The album will be released on Christmas Day of 2023 to commemorate the event. When asked what impelled her to consider a telescope as the subject of an album, Dorothy said: “I felt the Webb launch to be like the “moonwalk” of this century, only with our hopelessly ravaged society, no one has the heart or stomach to celebrate anything at all. It began with an instrumental tribute, but the more I wrote, the more free-form fantasy took hold. I included a life form that emerges without light or water, I explored unnamed dimensions inhabiting dark matter, and scored unlikely dialogues between forces of creation and destruction. I think that an event of this magnitude sparks peoples’ imagination if they know about it and I’d like people to know about it." It’s her first solo album, but also features work by artists with whom she’s recently collaborated such as composer Peter Olof Fransson, and writers Tim Lucas and Luca Chino Ferrari. Her daughter, vocalist Melissa Falarski contributes back up on several cuts and there is also a track by sound sculptor Larnie Fox. To her pastiche of electronica, Dorothy has added live recordings of her live piano and viola and has incorporated drone washes from NASA archival recordings.
