cover photograph by dan frueh
released 2000

jewel caes cd with 12 page booklet

after paradigm discs released the 1976 lp by anal magic and rev. dwight frizzell, the true scope and diversity of this mans activities became more apparent to me. first there were the countless unused remnants from the original lp recording sessions, then the many films and their soundtracks, the regular radio shows, the dreamlanddiaries web page, the large scale intermedia events, performing weddings and leading the live group black crack review. for 25 years there has been a dynamic continuity to his work, and a strong association with his collaborators. he has also contributed to books on sun ra, and is a popular tutor at the kansas city art institute. after being so inspired by the discovery of this creative energy a second cd was immediately planned. all the pieces on this release deal with frizzell's more experimental output, and include 2 long performance pieces that date from the 90s. one is a multi channel sound diffusion piece using electronics, tapes and acoustic instruments, the other uses graphic scores and is more acoustic with backing tapes. both these pieces draw their inspiration from natural phenomena, using sounds from nature, the environment and the laboratory. they were both recorded in church spaces and, unlike the early work, use high quality recording equipment. of the other 5 pieces, 4 are soundtracks, and all date from the same period as the lp and have the hallmark of the sound world that prevails on side 2 of the anal magic lp, a time when frizzell was still a student at the kansas city art institute.

natural selection was recorded in an ancient ozark sinkhole, a plastics factory, a gothic church and other acoustically rich areas in missouri. these communal efforts and soundscape feedbacks were produced between 1975 and 1996, and freely orchestrate tesla coll, river whirlpools, bass clarinet, dog-whistle, violin, oscillator, bassoon, cb radio and pipe organ' (notes on back of jewel case)

anal magic & rev. dwight frizell - beyond the black crack (pd 06)

total time 69'07"

cover by kurt eckhardt and rev. dwight frizzell.
released 1998

jewel case cd with 12 page booklet

beyond the black crack was the concept of reverend dwight frizzell, a musician, film maker, doctor of metaphysics and minister in the universal church of life. it remains a little known classic, and one of the most unique listening experiences in modern experimental music.

recorded between 1974 and 1976 in locations as diverse as factories, the pyramid opposite harry truman's grave site as well as more 'conventional' concert settings. beyond the black crack is a dark, dizzying and exhilarating journey through free jazz, electronics and environmental sound, all shattered by frizzell's radical tape editing.

this cd re-release adds further material to the original lp: - "the wandering madness of basilea", a suite from 1977 unheard until now, as well as unreleased material from the black crack sessions.

beyond the black crack was originally released in mono in an edition of 200 copies by cavern custom in 1976 (cat. no. 6104-12), to commemorate the first annual end of the world celebration, november 18 1976.

black crack and the sole survivors are:

rev. dwight frizzell - tenor saxophone, clarinet, audio oscillator, chair, trash can, pins, soy beans
mike roach - clarinet, vocals with laughs, tenor saxophone, dancing
kurt eckhardt - mouth flute, percussion, pins, soy, alteration.

featuring special guests:

rev. tommy gomersall - tin cans, piano, vocals

rush rankin - clarinet, imagistic inspiration
rev. jim rogers - kazoo
gary jeffers - sousaphone, percussion
