lily greenham - lingual music (pd 22)

2cd in jewel case with 12 page booklet

total time 137'47"

cover by lily greenham
released 2007

britain’s best known sound poet is bob cobbing, but it’s hard to come up with a list of other sound poets working in britain in the 60’s and 70’s. it’s equally difficult to think of any female sound poets working anywhere. lily greenham was danish, but spent her childhood in vienna. after several relocations across europe she settled in london in 1972 with her british husband (musician and poet peter greenham), where she lived until her death in 2001. nearly all of her own writings and compositions date from after her arrival in london, but prior to her arrival in london she had been involved in two major european art movements. in the late 50’s she had been an active member of the early wienner gruppe, performing in their wild experimental theatre works and reciting the new poetry of young artists like gerhard rühm, konrad bayer and a.c. hartmann, but before the wienner gruppe had established itself as the important art movement it was to become, she had moved on and changed her working practice.

in 1964 she was back in paris for a second time, but this time she was working as a visual artist specialising in optical art. she was soon directly involved in group shows with the ‘groupe de recherche d’art visuel’. for the second time she was at the centre of an emerging art movement that was exploring new ground, but predictably enough she moved on. once in london she began to record her own text based compositions that used a mixture of sound poetry techniques, electronics and multi-tracking.

the term ‘lingual music’ that she coined for her compositions refers to her technique of using tape loops of text to create complex and dense musical structures. her most well known composition in this style is ‘relativity’, which was made in 1974 in collaboration with the radiophonic workshop at the bbc. she also worked with quite a few musicians, both via the early lmc network in london, but also on an international scene. a list of musicians she worked with includes john tchicai, wolfgang dauner, bob downes, barry guy, hugh davies, max eastley and peter cusack.

this 2cd set compiles a wide variety of her own work, including live solo performances, film soundtrack pieces, as well as many tape pieces. there are also examples of her performing works by cobbing, rühm and other sound poets, as well as recordings of her work with bob downes open music.

the recordings date from between 1968 and 1984.

variations 3 - a london compilation (pd 10)

total time 77'39"

cover by clive graham
released 1998

jewel case cd with 12 page booklet

a third and final collection of lesser known & infrequently recorded artists living in london. considering its size, london is not well recognised as a centre for experimental and electronic music (at least not since the early 80's). additionally there is virtually no funding or support for this kind of music from within the system. consequently many composers and musicians who can fit in, work outside of the uk. naturally enough there are many diverse artists in london that carry on their work in isolation, both at home and within a great many unsupported clubs and venues. this cd covers my own personal favorite discoveries and rediscoveries since the release of variations 2 in 1997.

syngen brown
these 3 short pieces are the first releases by syngen brown. all the music is made using second generation sound sources in addition to his own environmental recordings.

wits
this is another debut. wits are 4 women (viv d. corringham, voice, electronics; sophia lycouris, movement; ashleigh marsh, keyboards, percussion; gina southgate, bric a brac), who specialise in live work. along with their use of conventional instruments (voice, electronics, keyboards and percussion), and a dancer, they also fill the stage space with a huge supply of everyday objects that are noisily explored and unravelled as an integral part of their audio-visual performances.

phil durrant
is best known as an improviser. mostly he plays violin in various ensembles and has featured on cd's with other improvisers including john butcher, chris burn, john russell, thomas lehn etc. he also works with analogue electronics, most recently with electronic improvisers mimeo. this piece was composed for a production of salomé given at st pancras chambers by the seven sisters group and uses analogue electronics.

voltage
are (moshi honen, guitar; sharon gal, voice, bass, toys; dennis austin, drums, percussion). this is an edited version of a live performance given at 'the klinker', one of london's longest running clubs for experimental music, film and poetry. this is their first available recording as voltage, although 2 of the members appear on mouthcrazy's 'open/open wide' on ass run vol.4.

clive graham
this recording is made from a variety of old half inch and quarter inch tapes that i have had lying around for quite some time. the last 5 minutes of this piece was previously issued on the wire magazine's subscription only cd 'the wire tapper 4' in august 1999.

andrew king
is one of the few young members of the traditional song forum, who specialise in the furtherance of traditional folk music within the british isles. he has previously released a cd of songs called 'the bitter harvest' (available via world serpent), that dwelt on the darker and less joyous stories within the folk tradition. this piece is from an american source and dates from the late 19th century and is for voice and harmonium. recorded at retina studios, september 1999.

aquiles panteleao
is a brazilian born composer who is completing his phd in electroacoustic music at city university. in 1998 this piece was awarded a distinction at the ars electronica music competition in linz.

bob cobbing
3 pieces from this senior member of the poetry and sound poetry scene, the earliest of these pieces dates from 1964. all 3 pieces were recorded at a reading given at the lewisham arthouse on 9.1.99.

hastings of malawi
are (john grieve, dave hodes, heman pathak). this extract was taken direct from the lp 'vibrant stapler obscures characteristic growth' that came out in 1980. most of the original 1000 copies were eventually destroyed, with around 300 copies that were actually sold. most of the sales would have been through the united dairies mail order list, who were probably their only outlet. all members of this group were involved one way or another in the very earliest nurse with wound records.

akemi ishijima has so far had only one other work released on cd, although she has had many international performances and broadcasts. she is currently completing her phd at the centre for electroacoustic music studies at city university.

michael ormiston is a virtuoso khöömii singer with 3 tours of mongolia under his belt. this piece uses only the morin khuur, a traditional mongolian stringed instrument, but whilst the music here utilises the harmonic techniques so sacred to the mongolians, it also extends beyond its traditional origins. this is his first release on cd.

tom wallace is an independent composer who organises the sonomorph events in london. the 2 events so far have focused mainly on new acousmatic works by young composers, as well as free improvisation.

hugh davies is one of the first names in the academic world of electronic music. additionally, his involvement in music making extends from working on groundbreaking pieces with stockhausen in the mid 60's to playing in music improvisation company in the 70's, and working with borbetomagus in the 80's.

john grieve is the one artist to carry over from the first volume of variations. his statements are pure and direct. this is another piece for tenor saxophone.

bob cobbing and lawrence upton recorded live at the klinker. at the age of 77, cobbing is undoubtably britains foremost sound poet. previous recordings are thin on the ground and nothing much has appeared in the last 2 decades. he does however, give many performances across london, often with birdyak, (a trio with hugh metcalfe and lol coxhill.) upton has occasionally colaborated with cobbing since 1969.

clive graham is better known for his involvement in the live electronics group morphogenesis and the running of paradigm discs. this is his first solo recording.

rolf gehlhaar became stockhausen's personal assistant between 1967 and 1970 whilst at the same time he became a member of the stockhausen ensemble, with whom he toured and recorded extensively. since this time he has concentrated on composition and the performance of his own works. this culminated in 1985 with the development of a real-time remote gestural control system. it consists of a set of ultrasonic sensors that pick up the movements of the performer/s, the sensors are linked to a computer, running real-time sound synthesis or sampler control. the many applications of this system are collectively known as sound=space. over the years he has continued to return to the infinate flexibility of this system. additionally this piece is uhj encoded for ambisonic playback. he has been living in london since 1975.
