May 22, 2019: Double Gravity

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

Album art from Fred Frith's Gravity

Gravity is Fred Frith’s prescient and arguably delicious 1980 album
that marked the inevitable coalescence of the downtown improv and noise scenes
toward bands and genres. This show celebrates the original song cycle
and a 2013 live re-construction.

Listener comments!
	3:03pm chresti: Hello! on my way home!
	3:05pm Sem: Hello, David, Ruth, the OAR cadre. Double the gravity, double the rainbows. . Ears wide open, eyes wide shut.
	3:07pm Schell: More from the vaunted London-Oakland axis.
	🥁 3:08pm david w: Heya, chresti and Sem and Schell.
	🥁 3:15pm david w: When chresti gets home we can peel Sem's eyes open and take a lesson from Prof. Schell.
	3:16pm Webhamster Henry: Hello Ridgewood!
	🥁 3:17pm david w: Hello Henster! Double time!
	3:19pm Webhamster Henry: It's not particularly relevant to today's show, but I'd just like to mention I was part of the Pauline Oliveros tribute here in Kingston last Sunday.
	3:20pm doctorjazz: That Frith was really cool, as is this next track (still Frith?)! Hi folks!
	🥁 3:22pm david w: He djazz, all Frith today, from one song cycle.
	🥁 3:23pm david w: @Henry, I imagine Pauline was quite present.
	3:24pm doctorjazz: Love it! Nothing like progressive accordion music (receipt maybe progressive tuba music). So much Eastern Europe.
	3:32pm Webhamster Henry: @David "Still Listening"
	3:34pm steveo: sorry i'm late, sounding great
	3:34pm Gail Vachon: Arguably delicious.
	🥁 3:36pm david w: Oh, Gail. You read that somewhere. And steveo! This is an apology free zone.
	3:38pm steveo: in that case, I'm sorry that i apologized . . . before i forget, i went to the whitney biennial and there's a violin video piece by laura ortman whose work you introduced to me here earlier this year. (i liked it a lot)
	3:38pm Stanley: Honk honk tooooot!
	🥁 3:39pm david w: steveo is always thoughtful, and Stanley so serious...
	🥁 3:41pm chresti: Hi again. Home!
	🥁 3:43pm david w: Do you think of Martha & the Vandellas or Mamas & Papas? Or?
	3:43pm steveo: van halen?
	🥁 3:47pm david w: Yep. And chresti's back so we can dance now.
	3:57pm Gail Vachon: And I am a sucker for shmaltz.
	4:09pm Webhamster Henry: This is a fun show today: "compare and contrast".
	🥁 4:11pm david w: Also curious that 24 years later and after all the history, Frith was still interested in this material.
	🥁 4:12pm david w: Oops 34 years later1
	4:13pm Schell: Frith was in Seattle most recently in December, with his trio (Jason Hoopes and Jordan Glenn).
	4:14pm Schell: But you know who else was in town a couple weeks ago? Who used to play avant-rock in a band very similar to Henry Cow (even sharing a drummer therewith)?
	🥁 4:19pm david w: I'm guessing Goebbels, but you may have tipped your hand...
	4:19pm Schell: This tune in 11-beat could come straight out of 70s Zappa.
	🥁 4:20pm david w: And the guitar tone too.
	4:20pm Schell: You're right David. Will have a review of that in a couple weeks. Goebbels is great, one of the very few who manages to do the vernacular music/orchestral modernism coupling without being cringeworthy or pretentious.
	4:21pm Schell: Guess it's not consistently in 11, this passage sounds like 7+8 alternating with 12.
	4:22pm Schell: Which reminds of Partch's Bewitched, and we recently had the premiere of the original version of that over at UW. We do get the occasional highlight out here in this otherwise frustratingly provincial town.
	4:35pm steveo: this time i think of fred frith...
	🥁 4:36pm david w: Rather than last time when you were thinking of dumplings?
	4:37pm steveo: no, but I did have dumplings for lunch (i'm not lying)
	🥁 4:53pm david w: Getting ready to say goodbye, so thanks all!
	4:54pm Schell: Thanks David!
	4:55pm steveo: that was / this is fun; thanks david & ruth, see you next week .
	4:55pm Stanley: David, I've enjoyed this show immensely. A pleasure to hear such a talented composer/musician showcased the way you have. Sweet music indeed, many thanks.
	🥁 4:56pm david w: You all all very kind, thanks from everybody here.
	4:56pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): "We Continue to Approach..." A sound collage favorite, up next on this stream! Come hither and hello: wfmu.org...
	4:57pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): (thanks, david!)
	🥁 4:58pm chresti: Thanks David!
	4:59pm Gail Vachon: Great show. Everybody now please call your congressperson and tell them to support impeachment now. (Sorry if this is inappropriate here)
	5:00pm Webhamster Henry: Nice show! Dancing in the street over there in Ridgewood?
	🥁 5:00pm david w: Gail, Ruth agrees (don't we all!)
