G3



Submitted by World MD on Wed, 02/16/2011 - 6:09pm

Artist: William C. Harrington
Non-Airable Tracks: n/a
Label: Urban Electronic Music


So it's not necessarily a new story (though the whole collectively exploring experimental music and noise with instruments is pretty cool....to learn more go to http://www.urbanelectronicmusic.com): formally trained musician becomes infatuated with the realm of electronic music and all of the possibilities it presents, slowly begins incorporating different styles, and voila! Something new and exciting is born. Such is the case of multi-instrumentalist/composer William C. Harrington who on this, his fifth album, G3, he has decided to collect a series of improvisations he had a chance of participating in with "some of Southern California's finest improvisers." At this time I feel it necessary to say the following: this is not music for the faint of heart. Now, if that doesn't turn you off I also feel comfortable saying that listening to this album is quite a rewarding experience Listen more than once though...LOTS of range

Sounds Like: Edgar Varèse, John Zorn

Recommended Tracks:

Fuzzbergenoids (Track 4)**** - powerful song and oh, it will take you places
The Brighton Syndrome (Track 7)*** - Ornette Coleman (yes, I do know that Coleman played alto, not soprano) meets the cast of Stomp!
The Little Pad in the Echo Park (Track 9)**** - Holy shit! Wait...so Albert Ayler isn't dead?

Name: Jonathan Cohen
