[Music] Richmond Avant Improv Collective - Chance Operations
As I finally had a long stretch of time where I could actually enjoy hearing whole albums again, I decided that RAIC would be Album Number One today. What a revelation this one has turned out to be!
According to the collective’s Bandcamp website for this release, “Chance Operations was inspired by John Cage’s “Silence.” RAIC often brings together musicians who normally would never play…
The Falls of Hyperion by Karolina Ossowska & Jeff Gburek - https://jeffgburekprojects.bandcamp.com/album/the-falls-of-hyperion - one of the most brooding and intense works I’ve heard in some time.

[Video] Peter Brötzmann / Shoji Hano / Tetsu Yamauchi / Haruhiko Gotsu – Dare Devil Peter Brötzmann was my introduction to free jazz. The genre is full of brutal music, and it seems that Herr Brötzmann is its (vodka) king.

[Review] Santiago Fradejas - 16 Pieces for Electric Guitar & Electroacoustic Ensemble
