Derek Bailey / Paul Motian — Duo in Concert (frozen reeds)
Specializing in archival recordings, the Helsinki frozen reeds label has come up with another doozy. This time unearthing in the Incus archives previously unreleased concert recordings of guitarist Derek Bailey and drummer Paul Motian for the release "Duo in Concert." Released at the tail-end of 2023, the LP version captures the duo live at the 1990 Jazz Marathon at De Oosterpoort festival in the city of Groningen, the Netherlands. As bonus digital tracks, the label offers recordings made at the New Music Cafe in New York City in 1991. A conversation between Bill Frisell and Henry Kaiser discussing these recordings and their collective experiences playing with Bailey and Motian is included as liner notes.
It's hard to approach a recording from two of my all-time favorite artists with any sense of objectivity, not to mention a heavy dose of expectation. And with a pairing that — at least on paper — doesn't immediately make outright sense, a certain degree of trepidation preempts the initial listening process as well. Accounts of both Bailey and Motian's contrariness and adversarial approach to performing are legion. Having seen both musicians live, I always had the feeling that everything could go off the rails at any moment. There was a certain sense of peril and uncertainty that pervaded their music — and not only because what they were doing was risky but more because they didn't seem to adhere to any rules of musical decorum.
When I first saw Bailey play solo in the mid-1980s, he broke off his set mid-concert to start sharing what seemed like random anecdotes with the audience, then picked right back up and started to play all over again. He stopped abruptly once more a bit later to tune his guitar (actually not much unlike what goes on in Indian classical music). It was almost as if he didn't see the point of himself being there. What he played — when he actually played — was undeniably brilliant. But his attitude came across as ambivalent and irascible, to say the least.
Similarly when I caught Motian in the early 1990s with his trio of Bill Frisell and Joe Lovano, he seemed to revel in the act of eloquent disruption, of not letting things ride but of seeking to derail and create situations where the music took sudden turns down unknown roads. Motian soloed like a kid discovering the drums for the first time, alternately bashing the toms or dropping bombs of bass drum cymbal crashes, then suddenly shifting to exquisite brush work on the snare, echoing his time with Bill Evans.
So, what was I to think of this improbable pairing? Obviously, from the start I was rooting for them. These guys were my heroes. But heroes also fall. I'm happy to say that over repeated listens "Duo in Concert" did not disappoint for one second of these recordings. It would be interesting to know if this concert in Groningen was their first meeting, or if they'd had the chance to play together in a more informal setting beforehand, because the 35-minute set sounds so fresh and invigorating. As if they had met for the first time, discovering their shared language and limitations in real-time before a festival audience. Adding to this the music also comes across as very intimate, as if Motian and Bailey had already played many years together and were picking up on a conversation they'd been having the last time they met. Consequently, both players sound not only completely engaged with the music, but actually excited by what they're coming up with. Practically as though they found themselves in a perpetual state of surprise and delight for the entire length of the concert. "Duo in Concert" is truly an inspiring listen.
There is much to expect that actually transpires: Bailey's spikey, chromatic fields played in jagged rhythmic runs across an incredibly wide dynamic range, spanning the spectrum from ringing harmonics on the verge of feedback to barely caressing the strings with his pick. And then there's Motian's incredible brush work paired with bombastic tom fills and tremorous bass drum drops. The real mystery is how this all manages to coalesce into — for lack of a more apt expression — an undeniable example of sheer poetry in sound. The mutual respect and inspiration between Motian and Bailey so evident in these recordings is in itself one of the most compelling aspects of this release.
A major unifier here would have to be Bailey and Motian's shared backgrounds in jazz. Bailey used to refer to himself in his earlier musical incarnation as previously sounding something like Jim Hall. But of course by the mid-1960s had realized he would, as Henry Kaiser states in the liner notes, have to depart for Planet Improv and leave the world of jazz behind. By this point in his long career Motian still had certainly more invested in the jazz tradition but seemed not to worry about what this meant. He'd long since moved on beyond what the rule keepers of the jazz world had imposed. Yet Motian also never went totally free like Bailey. And in fact, this would be the first record I'd heard where Motian plays from scratch, without any vague road map or composition to steer the musical proceedings.
But it is precisely this jazz background which lends an unmistakable narrative thread to the concert at Groningen. Bailey and Motian's collaboration is truly like a conversation in the most literal sense of the word. And like the greatest musical conversations in the context of jazz music, both players join together for this one brief point in time to tell a story together, listening and building their musical ideas from their dialogue. As hackneyed as this may sound, the end effect is a perfect example of instant composing, of creating a totally cohesive, rigorously structured piece of music from thin air.
And this encompasses signifiers of a more narrative approach along the way: towards the midpoint of the set, Bailey fades out to let Motian take the practically obligatory drum solo, a roiling, thunderous affair across the toms and cymbals. This is followed by Bailey jumping back in with what in a more conventional jazz piece, could be the main soloist picking up again with another long passage. Along the way Bailey engages in some of the most impressionistic and nearly melodic playing I've ever heard from him, even approaching what one could construe as comping rapid chord variations to Motian's hard-driving pulse. The set ends with Motian playing a very grooving swing pattern on the high hat that not only absolutely works with Bailey's field of dissonant harmonic notes but is in itself a stroke of genius, melding the two worlds of jazz and obdurate free improvisation with a gesture of contrast and a nod to the history both of these musicians had left far behind but by no means forgotten.
For fans of Derek Bailey and Paul Motian "Duo in Concert" is an absolute must listen. For those unfamiliar with either of these artists' work, this release would be a great place to start, not only because it captures them both at the height of their powers but is also a convincing and highly moving documentation of free improvised music that shouldn't be missed.

Album Review - I Smile When the Sound Is Singing Through the Space (duo w/ Jason Kahn)
Jason Kahn / Alice Hui-Sheng Chang I Smile When the Sound Is Singing Through the Space (Self-Released)
As a longtime admirer of Jason Kahn’s work, I Smile When the Sound Is Singing Through the Space left my jaw on the floor. Tawainese vocalist Alice Hui-Sheng Chang and Kahn have worked together since 2015, and this cathartic exposition was recorded during a 2023 residency at Ting Shuo Hear Say in Tainan, Taiwan. Clairvoyance takes shape in the extended techniques and guttural washes. Voices quiet and explode, running through frequencies like a twisting monsoon flood across parched earth. Each turn leaves me further captivated. The timbres of each voice simultaneously complement and spoil the other, building an uncertain tension between various diverging expressions. It’s a wild, enthralling ride. At points it’s like Kahn is fading into nothingness, his voice broken and scattered as Chang melodiously twitters and dances in the dust left behind. It’s rife with drama and release. Fans of Tazartès and Charmaine Lee take note. Highest recommendation.

Series
I am currently writing two series.
the first is for Pretty Little Liars
OC is one of The Liars
She is particularly close to Hanna
She starts off in a relationship with Noel but it will soon transfer to Jason and then Mike and then probably back to Jason
This will cover trauma (PTSD, lying, stalking, sexual assault, underage sex, anxiety, depression, underage drinking, bullying, substance abuse, other mental health challenges, violence, murder, etc.)
the second is for Outer Banks
OC is John B's sister
She and John B have the same Dad but not the same Mom
She's best friends with Kiara
Kiara and JJ probably won't have a thing at all
This will also cover trauma (including but not limited to: physical abuse, mental abuse, sexual assault, anxiety, depression, underage drinking, underage sex, underage smoking (weed and tobacco), bullying, substance abuse, other mental health challenges, violence, murder, etc.)
Slow burn, but eventually JJ X OC
both will be posted to my wattpad account too. i will post the link at a later date.

You Nakai — Reminded by the Instruments: David Tudor's Music (Oxford University Press)
You Nakai's Reminded by the Instruments: David Tudor's Music is a mammoth and vividly detailed analysis of the late David Tudor's trajectory from boy prodigy on the church organ to one of the first purveyors of live electronic music, with stops along the way as go-to pianist interpreting scores from most of the major composers of experimental music through the 1950s. Clocking in at 768 pages with over 300 images of Tudor's performances, instruments, schematics and block flow diagrams, the book goes into intense detail and will not be an easy read for those looking for a mere chronology of Tudor's work. Nor will the book please those in search of anecdotes about Tudor's personal life. As the title implies, this book is mainly about the instruments Tudor developed and used in his live-electronic work from the early 1960s until his death in 1996.
The very notion of what Tudor considered an instrument takes Nakai's research down a long, and at times, circuitous path through numerous interviews with former friends and colleagues, such as Gordon Mumma and Pauline Oliveros, to mining the archives of the David Tudor Papers at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles, the David Tudor Collection at Wesleyan University in Middletown Connecticut (with over 500 instruments; 150 of which were built by Tudor himself) and the Merce Cunningham Dance Foundation Records at the New York Public Library. This trove of material included receipts, crumpled notes, random scribbles on the backs of envelopes, empty packages of electronic components, clippings from hobby electronics magazines, letters from strangers, train and bus tickets, circuit plans, photos, tapes of interviews, video recordings and bills of material for various electronic projects.
If this at all sounds overwhelming, you'd be more than right in thinking so. And it seems this was also the case for Nakai, who at the beginning of his work on the book, which went from 2007-2019, knew next to nothing about analog electronics. The actual idea of writing about Tudor's work stemmed from a random peek into the archives at the Getty Research Institute when Nakai was doing research there for another project. This led to Nakai spending the next 12 years of his life studying and writing about Tudor's work, which for Nakai most resembled a black box that, in order to be fully understood, demanded to be dismantled and looked at from the inside. To achieve this, Nakai employed a method of research he termed reverse-musicology, in which he tried to approach Tudor's materials as Tudor would have approached them himself. But what did this mean exactly?
Part of the answer lies in Nakai's chosen title for the book, taken from a fragment of the Walt Whitman poem A Song for Occupations, which Tudor had scribbled in one of his notebooks around 1955: All music is what awakens from you when you are reminded by the instruments. For Tudor, being reminded by the instruments meant, in his words, Observing electronic components and circuitry as individual and unique, rather than as servomechanisms, revealing their personalities, directly related to the particular musician involved with them. The deeper this process of observation, the more the components seem to require and suggest their own musical ideas, arriving at that point of discovery, always incredible, where music is revealed from the 'inside,' rather than 'outside.'
This quote is one of the few directly written by Tudor in Nakai's book. Tudor was not known for talking much about his work, if at all. He was often viewed as something of an enigma or living puzzle by his friends and colleagues. One of Nakai's main premises for working on this book was to approach Tudor's materials as Tudor did himself. Which in Tudor's case would be how he went about trying to solve the particular puzzle involved with interpreting a musical object, composition or performance. As John Cage once said about his friend, favorite musician and interpreter of his work, Tudor's interest in puzzles invited the whole thing of indeterminacy. To these ends, Nakai devised a two-fold method of approaching the massive puzzle that was Tudor's work: 1) Observe the given material thoroughly in an unbiased way until it reveals its own nature. 2) Bias the subsequent approach to the material based on this nature.
Nakai went to herculean lengths to understand the nature of Tudor's instruments. At the Wesleyan University collection he opened up the 500 instruments stored there and copied down their circuit plans, without at first even understanding what he was looking at. He took photos of nearly every single bit of material at the Getty Research Archives and transcribed all the recordings of Tudor's interviews to be found in the New York Public Library. Through this research Nakai hoped the nature of Tudor's instruments and their place in his work as a composer and performer would reveal themselves.
Tudor himself would have to be counted as the main instrument in Nakai's study. In 1959 the Italian composer Sylavno Bussotti sent Tudor a new collection of pieces entitled Five Piano Pieces for David Tudor. As Bussotti explained in a letter to Tudor, the pieces were not meant as an homage to Tudor but that they were written for Tudor the instrument, as one might compose a piece for orchestra or string quartet. Even before Bussotti's piece, many composers, including John Cage, Morton Feldman and Earle Brown, had written their pieces explicitly with Tudor in mind. They were composing in the context of how David Tudor would solve the puzzle of interpreting their pieces, many of which were graphical scores that gave an enormous amount of leeway in how they could be realized.
Tudor also viewed himself as an instrument, though this notion took root many years before composers began considering him as one. Tudor's lifelong interest in the work of the Austrian occultist Rudolph Steiner, who once wrote, Each human being was composed as a musical instrument, helped Tudor see the connection between the physical nature of the material he was working with and a metaphysical concern of his own nature. This side of Tudor's work, like many aspects of his life, was little known during his lifetime. Profoundly influenced by Steiner's book, The Inner Nature of Music and the Experience of Tone: The Occult Basics of Music, Tudor even went so far as to become a member of the Anthroposophical Society in 1957. It was this occult approach to understanding the nature of musical objects, as well as himself, which guided Tudor through much of his work.
Nakai faced many challenges in writing about Tudor's work, and not just because Tudor himself spoke or wrote very little about what he was doing. Beyond the hurdle of Tudor's reticence was a problem of concept that Tudor brought to the notions of composer vs. performer, score vs. instrument and composition vs. improvisation. Tudor dismantled, expanded and sometimes just downright ignored these categories. There was also the issue of, as Nakai terms it, Tudor's low threshold of boredom, moving in the course of his life from organ to piano to bandoneon and then electronics. Even when Tudor finally arrived at his phase of working solely with electronics, this was often coupled with visual elements, such as his decades-long work with the Merce Cunningham Dance Company or many projects in collaboration with visual artists.
"Reminded by the Instruments" leaves the door open to many other sides of Tudor's life, which Nakai freely admits to omitting in his opus. This would include, for example, Tudor's contact with Borbetomagus and what he thought about the nascent noise music scene in the United States — something Tudor referred to as pop groups! Nakai also avoided spending much time on areas covered in other books about Tudor, such as writing about Rainforest (probably Tudor's most famous piece), his piano realizations in the 1950's or participation at the Darmstadt seminars and Black Mountain College events with John Cage. The main focus here is the instruments and the transitions during Tudor's life. In particular, how Tudor went from being a performer of other people's music to being a composer of his own.
And this is often what is referred to as the great mystery surrounding Tudor's career: why did he stop performing on piano? Was it, as he (half?)-jokingly recounted to Alvin Lucier, Alcohol goes very well with electronic music; it's not so good with piano playing! Or, as he recounted in a joint interview with John Cage in 1972 on KPFA radio, I got tired of the sound of it. And I had a great desire to not have to hear it anymore! As much surrounding Tudor's life, this will probably remain a mystery. Just as his transition from interpreter of other people's work to being a composer in his own right. When did this happen, how? Part of the difficulty in answering such questions lies in the fact that Tudor redefined what composition meant. Or what performance meant. Or even what an instrument was. Virtually every aspect of Tudor's work went against traditional concepts. Which isn't to say that Tudor was at all interested in what all these concepts meant, traditionally or experimentally. Rather, the very nature of the material Tudor worked with caused these concepts to acquire new meaning.
Aside from the incredibly detailed look at Tudor's instruments and his approach to electronic music performance, the book offers an ancillary view of experimental music from the 1950's to the time of Tudor's death in 1996, touching on indeterminacy, prepared piano techniques, graphical scores, the introduction of live-electronics (as opposed to tape playback of pieces composed in a studio) and sound installation. So many of the ideas discussed in this book that Tudor began working with very early on are in such common usage today that we might as well imagine they'd always been with us. This would include no-input systems, field recordings, sound visualization, hardware hacking, circuit bending and sound art, just to name a few. "Reminded by the Instruments" provides the mind-boggling perspective that David Tudor had his hand in nearly all these developments, back in a time when there was no internet. When circuit diagrams had to be clipped out of magazines like Popular Electronics and everything Tudor needed to realize his ideas had to be built from scratch, either by himself or by commissioning electrical engineers to do it for him.
Nakai sums up his effort in Reminded by the Instruments as not so much to produce a faithful representation of Tudor's work, but to coordinate the scattered pieces of the puzzle to create a lively realization that future readers may use for this or that purpose. In which case, this book will provide virtually endless inspiration for anyone trying to find their own way as composers or performers or something else as yet to be defined until they themselves discover what that is.
