san agustin with suzanne langille
passing song
fv9 cd ep

the new york city based san agustin has been performing with vocalist suzanne langille since 1997. the two have found an unmatchable connection in their expansive dialogue of impeccably matched twin guitars and percussion with the ageless blue moaned singing and lyrics. these six passing songs are meticulous flares, crafted in the highest order. slightly dissonant leanings and free spirit that is carried by a woman who has lived each word she sings.

... as psyched i am for this mammoth set of alternating renditions of rhys chatham’s “guitar trio pt. 1” and “guitar trio pt.2” - i can’t help but be a little bummed at the omission of either of the boston takes (which, to my amp-damaged ears, sounded quite fine w/chris brokaw, david daniell, winston bramman, myself, and the devil music guys essentially playing a single-chord to a sold-out allston-rock-city crowd for over an hour) - but that’s neither here nor there ...

what you do get from this excellent triple-disc box are takes from the brooklyn, buffalo, chicago, cleveland, milwaukee, minneapolis, montreal, and toronto stagings of the piece during february 2007, performed with ludicrously high levels of energy by chatham himself, along with such notables as andrew broder, tony conrad, david daniell, kim gordon, alan licht, robert longo, rob “lichens” lowe, doug mccombs, thurston moore, jon mueller, harris newman, jeff parker, lee ranaldo, chris rosenau, adam & ben vida, etc ...

if you don’t know the piece ; it’s essentially an exercise in yielding what chatham himself describes as “choiring” - a heavy, upper-register buildup of harmonic movement that results when so many guitar players, over 20 minutes, slowly work across an open e minor chord from the low e to the high e, at deafening volume, while a single drummer keeps time on a hi-hat (pt. 1) or contributes with a “driving backbeat” followed by a long fill / freak-out (pt. 2) - it’s the ultimate in high-gain rock ‘n’ roll minimalism, really, and because of the open interpretation, the piece can swing pretty heavily in a number of directions given the players - hence this collection offering 5 different realizations of each part by 8 different groups ...

highly recommended as a historical document and as a testament to the piece’s lasting relevance ...

rhys chatham & his guitar trio all-stars
guitar trio is my life !

utilizing multiple electric guitars and a single chord, 1977’s “guitar trio” is composer rhys chatham’s signature work, and a euphoric, minimal-punk classic. it’s an inspired amalgamation — the droning, shimmering harmonics of john cale and tony conrad fused with the power and fury of the ramones — that had a meteoric impact. it placed chatham at the forefront of the burgeoning no wave scene; its influence then spread further, as protégés and participants in chatham’s ensembles — including glenn branca and members of sonic youth — folded the sound into their own. “guitar trio” remains a composition with a half-life, an adventure in sound that continues to radiate influence and inspiration.

now, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of “guitar trio” on an epic scale, chatham musters an all-star guitar army for the 3xcd set, “guitar trio is my life!” the sprawling collection features members of sonic youth, swans, tortoise, godspeed you! black emperor, hüsker dü, modern lovers, silver mt. zion, town and country, die kreutzen, 90-day men, collections of colonies of bees, and many more; even tony conrad gets in on the act. together these artists celebrate chatham’s wordless anthem, with its minimalist origins, rock & roll rhythm, ecstatic whorl of harmonics, and ever-evolving, ever-expanding nature.

so, take a listen, and hear what one man can do with hundreds of guitars, 30 years, one chord, and a skyscraper of amps set to liquefy. “guitar trio” endures.

3xcd set of previously unreleased material;
includes 32-page book with liner notes and unpublished photographs

david danielli-iv-v-i (mustard vinyl)” one-sided long playing record

  • i (4:18)
  • iv (5:09)
  • v (5:03)
  • i (4:43)
november 2008 release ; the eighth in the guitar series vols. 3 & 4 ...

a four-part suite from mms perennial david daniell, starting with a hugely resonant buzzing drone, following through with an overdubbed steel-string mantra, a fine bit of ghostly bedroom-guitar wail coalescing into a doom-cloud, then a bit of soukous-influenced upper-neck staccatto playing with bowed raga undergrowth ...

as each segment focuses on an area of guitar-centric music that david does extremely well, this is something of a sampler-pack for his abilities ; each section comes across as fully formed, as a whole it’s a pretty damn breathtaking set of pieces ...

along with the oren ambarchi entrant, this is inarguably the highlight of the series thusfar (and with only the fennesz & o’malley sides left, most likely overall as well) ... highly recommended !!!

david daniell
i-iv-v-i

table of the elements continues to celebrate its 15th anniversary with the eighth installment in its guitar series vols. 3 & 4. it’s a 12xlp romp of deviant fretnoise by some of experimental music’s most prominent players, including christian fennesz, thurston moore, and sunn o)))’s stephen o’malley.

david daniell is one of the hardest-working guitarists in avant-garde show business. he leads the troops in rhys chatham’s guitar armies; he was a member of jonathan kane's rollicking band february; and he performs regularly in a duo with tortoise's doug mccombs. he's collaborated with tim barnes, thurston moore, and loren connors; and his guitar work with his own band, san agustin, is the stuff of which fleeting blues-drone dreams are made. with influences rooted in blues, american minimalism, and post-punk ideologies, daniell's guitar playing is always inspired; when fused with his intricate electro-acoustic compositions, the results are breathtaking.

georgia natives san agustin have performed with a multitude of notables from the improvised community, including ken vandermark, thurston moore, loren mazzacane and others, but this boxed set is the first truly representative document of their live presence.

haunting moments of introspection are enveloped in clouds of bluesy guitar notes, then swept away by great electric gales; drones rumble and shimmer in the aftermath. the expanding sea is a sweeping work by a tremendous ensemble, one that is discreetly creating a genre-defying yet archetypically american music.

ateleiaformal sleep” compact disc

  • of isthmus (8:06)
  • salt horse sculpture (9:30)
  • formal barrier (5:57)
  • brine coming to rest (9:28)
  • a doubtful shore (5:49)
  • bridget riley (9:10)
january 2007 release from james elliott aka ateleia. i raved about james’ last disc on his antiopic label; this one raises the bar with a sweet mix of glossy digital drones and punctuating regular rhythms.

just the kind of swooping, glacial electronics that we all swooned over @ the turn of the century, updated to modern spec. features contributions from david daniell, david grubbs, jon philpot, and sadek bazaraa.

between this disc, david daniell’s recent solo outing “coastal”, and keenan lawler’s “music for the bluegrass states”, xeric is fast becoming one of my favorite contemporary-music labels...
xeric press release...
ateleia formal sleep

james elliott: bass guitar, guitar, synthesizer, computer
sadek bazaraa: guitar on bridget riley
david daniell: cymbals on a doubtful shore
david grubbs: harmonium on formal barrier
jon philpot: melodica on bridget riley

ateleia is brooklyn resident james elliott. his music combines crystalline pulse with submerged aquatic drones and subtle ghost melodies. it's not so much oceanic as it is tide pool - the churn of the tidal impulse captured in miniature and crawling with activity. evoking the grand echo of my bloody valentine and the long standing tradition of psychedelic minimalism, but informed by contemporary electronic music, formal sleep is truly immersive. featuring contributions by david grubbs (gastr del sol), david daniell (rhys chatham, jonathan kane), jon philpot (presocratics, bear in heaven) and sadek bazaraa.

david daniellcoastal” compact disc

  • whelk (14:35)
  • palmetto (26:34)
  • sunfish (8:03)
  • glasswort (9:30)
goddamn... this is such a killer record. i’ve long been a fan of david’s work with san agustin and his solo records on antiopic, but this, for me, trumps just about everything else of his i’ve heard...

coastal” is an extended suite utilizing guitars, scattered percussion, tons of electro-acoustic techniques & processes, and, most importantly, finely honed compositional prowess. it touches down on so many of the musical concepts/practices that i hold dear, and does so with such an acute awareness of the history of recorded sound that it’s hard to keep back the gush (must... resist...)

...yet another reason not to compile your year-end lists until january... every time i spin this disc it creeps up another notch. if, like me, you’re feeling the current merging of modern classical & musique concrète sensibilites with rock instrumentation & contemporary sound-tools, then i give this, to you, my highest recommedation.
xeric press release...
have you heard the raw, minimal howl that rises from the late-night, backwoods campfires at table of the elements? if so, you know the work of david daniell — even if you don't yet recognize the name. daniell is the head of both of composer rhys chatham's current ensembles; he's the lead guitarist in jonathan kane's rollicking band, february; he performs regularly in a duo with tortoise's doug mccombs; he has collaborated with a who's who of today's finest, including tim barnes, thurston moore and loren connors; and his guitar work with his own band, san agustin, is the stuff of which fleeting blues-drone dreams are made.

following a long break after his debut solo release, daniell now returns with coastal. in all its variety, this record is a focused synthesis of influences. tracks like "sunfish" and "glasswort" use acoustic guitar reminiscent of work by david grubbs and mountains, while the thick psychedelic morass of deep electric guitar, synth drone and scattered tribal percussion of "whelk" brings to mind early faust, and the long-form tone poem "palmetto" is pure swirling electronic glacial beauty. rooted in the blues, american minimalism and post-punk ideologies, daniell's guitar playing is always inspired; when fused with his intricate electroacoustic compositions, the results are breathtaking.
