Pour cette quatrième murmuration, nous partons à la rencontre du son de l’eau. Des eaux profondes à celle des glaciers, des lacs ou encore des gouttes de pluie. 
Promenade sonore sur les traces de la musique aquatique avec des extraits de fields-recordings, pièce électroacoustique ou balades électroniques...

Wide.Mesh (Riforma) – Somaticae, Cloak Of Kings & Not399093

Recorded by Mike Figgis in Terry’s attic at Lyonsdown Manor House, London 1969.

This session is one of the few times Figgis and Day played as a duo. Personnel of the CME & PB regularly played on TD’s drums during gigs & “jams” - Mike particularly had a ‘jazzy’ feel. They were, with others, co-founders of the Continuous Music Ensemble and People Band, whilst also plus collaborating in other configurations. 

Mixed and Mastered by Mike Figgis. 

Artwork Terry Day (2018)

TDA001 "Duets 69" [sample]

"Working with the Komungo playing of Eunjung Kim allowed me to be free of percussive concepts that I employ & thus enter a world of abstraction on the drum kit & open space in the music. This studio recording is the only time we have played together, other than an initial get together at my house where only a few tambourines were percussed upon. Other than working with the Shakuhachi playing of Clive Bell, this was my first experience of collaborating with a non-western instrument." - Terry Day

TDA002 - Eunjung Kim & Terry Day [sample]

"Throughout my ‘Free Jazz’ period of drumming the sound of the Sizzle Cymbal provided the  texture, pulse & ‘time-free’ nature of the music. The purring voice on track 17 hints at the ‘SIZZLE ‘ sound of a sizzle cymbal.
 
Track 7 leads into a dedication to ‘VINCENT’ van Gogh whose life was plagued by loneliness & inner turmoil , & whose Art & Life have been with me since I was 14 years old.
 
Track 1 could be my very first actual drum solo; albeit not on my own kit, & therefore the solo is an exploration of an unknown kit being played for the first time.
 
As with many of my solo recordings, some are intended to be over-dubbed by either myself or other musicians as they see possible." - Terry Day

TDA003 "Cello Solo - Home Recording Circa 1977 - 78"

John Edwards and Terry Day's third outing as a duo based on the vocalizing of Terry Day’s lyrics with just bass accompaniment. On a number of tracks the lyrics flow one after another without a pause between. The first occasion was recorded by Tim Fletcher at Foyles was lost, then found in John Russell’s archives, & now found again by Tim. The second was at Cafe OTO.

Russell & Day regularly got together for afternoon sessions in JR’s flat in Finsbury Park London during the 1970s.

JR & TD first encountered each other at the Little Theatre Club. TD had been playing at the Club in the Late 1960s with the first generation of improvisers. Then in the early 1970’s the second generation of improvisers, inclusive of JR, turned up at the club. JR & TD were also members of Mal Dean’s ‘AMAZING BAND’, & toured Holland with Luc Houtkamp’s ‘CLIMAAT’

As you can imagine we are under huge pressure at the moment and are working flat out to ensure Cafe OTO survives this. The impact of this situation is extremely acute for small venues like ours and we need all the support we can get to pull through. Please donate what you can, if you can. Thank you. 

Cafe OTO opened in April 2008 with the aim of providing a home for creative new music that exists outside of the mainstream. It comprises one large cafe/performance space open during the day serving food and drink with an evening programme of live music almost seven nights a week. 

OTOROKU is part of OTOProjects - a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC) that has been set up to manage the programme at Café Oto. Any profits from OTOROKU are put back into supporting what we do and will help us to continue programming the best musicians and performers from all over the world.
