Happy 77th birthday to the one-and-only Fred Frith, born #OTD in 1949. Unique in the field, he has experimental music he has produced a staggering body of work, both solo and in collaboration with so many others, across almost 60 years.
It was a real highlight to see him live in Glasgow last May: the sense of space, the sense of play, the sense of reaching beyond.

New #review today: "#ChrisCutler, #JohnGreaves, #TimHodgkinson, and #FredFrith. Those four names sound familiar? If not, you need to go back and re-take #ProgressiveRock 101. For whatever reason, maybe legal, maybe artistic, this 2022 reunion of what amounts to the original #HenryCow is now to be known as #HenryNow." #ExposeOnline #ImprovisedMusic #RIO http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/henry-now-then-again-3.html

This album made me realize that Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, my longtime favorite band, ain't shit in comparison!

Un Peu De L'Âme Des Bandits
1980 Belgium pressingDefinitely one of the strangest records in my library, and one that’s certainly not for the average general music listener.
The personnel here features a healthy portion of the “Art Bears” crowd; Fred Frith, Chris Cutler, and Marc Hollander.
This is some demented and deeply experimental art rock; wide ranging in its vibe from classical, to Zappa, to French pop.
I’m happy to have an original press of this, as those who are familiar with it and love it had been clammering for a reissue of it for years, until Crammed Discs did one in 2018.If you’re into weird shit, you’ll love it.
If you’re not, it’s going to be very difficult making it through to the second song.

“[W]hat’s always fascinating is that sometimes you think you know what something sounds like and do the thing that produces the sound you think you will get, and then you don’t get it. There are always variabilities, variations, and things you didn’t expect… They always lead you to explore something differently. I think the joy is in the fact that even though my vocabulary is relatively static, what happens, without fail, always brings me to places I haven’t been before. I don’t know why, but it happens. I think it has to do with having an understanding that when something unexpected happens, you can make it into something interesting.”- Fred Frith

An absolutely amazing and intense set of performances tonight from Fred Frith in Glasgow, solo and in combination with 17 (I think!) members of the Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra. What a privilege to be there to bear witness to their collective wonders.

New #review today: "Singer #PercyHoward first came to my attention with the #Meridiem album back in the late 90s. I picked up the album because of the other musicians involved — #FredFrith, #Bil Laswell, and #CharlesHayward, all of whom I knew from previous work — but Howard was an unknown quantity at the time. Many years have passed since then, but I remember being intrigued by Howard’s singing..." #ExposeOnline #AvantRock #ArtRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/percy-howard-the-stars-and-the-well-2.html

I find myself turning more and more to the music and ideas of Henry Cow these days, not to mention those of the myriad spheres and satellites orbiting their sun-gone-supernova. Hard to believe their remarkable first LP was released 50 years ago this month.

I'm getting so much out of this new(ish) release by Fred Frith—Atmospheres: Music for Three Films—a download-only release from July 2023. I've seen none of the three films, but the music is just beautiful: abstract in places, inventively and achingly melodic in others, like the best of Frith's work. Highly recommended.

I heard it’s #FortnightFridayMusic and the theme is #Lonely?
#NowPlaying #JohnZorn #NakedCity ❝I talked about doing a cover of some #OrnetteColeman stuff and #FredFrith said, “Oh yeah, how about that tune Pretty Woman?” Like, he made a slip of the tongue. And I said, “Oh yeah, of course! We’re gonna do that at the same time as Lonely Woman!” Just kinda as a joke.❞ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBlViimcTnE

Gestern habe ich mit Freunden den sehr empfehlenswerten und vielfach ausgezeichneten Film "Step Across the Border" (1990) über den Musiker "Fred Frith" gesehen! Fred Frith war mir bis dahin kein Begriff: Jazzer, Rocker, Komponist. Beeindruckend zu sehen, was man mit einer Gitarre alles machen und wie Kreativität entstehen kann. Zu sehen auch die durch den Film bekannt gewordene tschechische Sängerin und Violinistin Iva Bittová. Sehenswert!

More #FredFrith, tonight. Some marvelous bits including a lengthy performance of the original #SkeletonCrew lineup of #Frith and Tom Cora. I was fortunate to have seen one of their gigs at Northwestern around '83 if I recall correctly. The show had a lasting impact and permanent influence. Being introduced to #ArtBears, Frith and the whole #RalphRecords catalogue at a young age really expanded my musical palate.
