  1. New #review today: "Triangolazioni is a project led by Italian guitarist and composer #LucianoMargorani (of #HomunculusRes and #La1919, among others), something that began back in early 2012 when Margorani asked drummer #ChrisCutler (of #HenryCow and countless others) to record six rhythmic tracks on his own as if they were finished pieces, following only his own inspiration." #ExposeOnline #ExperimentalMusic #DarioDAlessandro expose.org/index.php/articles/

  2. New #review today: "My last encounter with #JohnGreaves, aside from the recent #HenryNow album, was Life Size back in 2018. Chanson d'Automne carries on from there with fifteen tracks that approach songwriting more in the tradition of chamber music than pop, rock, or folk." #ExposeOnline #ArtMusic #HenryCow expose.org/index.php/articles/

  3. 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.

  4. @Jazz chat. Nice! Henry Cow is Henry Now now: #^https://darkcompanionrecords.bandcamp.com/album/then-again

    "over fifty years of individual and collective evolution, without compromise" puts it to the point. Very enjoyable!

  5. 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 expose.org/index.php/articles/

  6. “[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

  7. Happy 75. #birthday to Dagmar Krause!

    "Her unusual singing style makes her voice instantly recognisable and has defined the sound of many of the bands with whom she has worked."

  12. 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.

  14. Georgina Born (#SoundStudies scholar & former member of #experimental #rock group #HenryCow) explains the value of #decentralized #media like the #Fediverse:

    "#PettyCapitalism – a term I take to encompass myriad #SmallScale forms of entrepreneurial, commercial activity in culture has been one of the key means by which progressive #leftist, #AntiRacist, and resistant forms of culture, #music, & #art have been made possible: have been produced, circulated, and lived...
