"The Sand Failure"--Don Van Vliet

Zusammen mit Frank Zappa begann Captain Beefheart seine Musikkarriere schon Ende der 50er Jahre. Knapp zehn Jahre später folgten die ersten Alben. Im Intravinyl hörten wir zwei Stunden Musik des amerikanischen Künstlers. Die ganze Sendung zum Nachhören findest du hier:

Intravinyl: Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

Spinoza, Séance 1

Vinyl release: https://www.aguirrerecords.com/products/steve-lacy-yuji-takahashi-takehisa-kosugi-distant-voices-lp

On 24th June 1975 Takahashi sat at a grand piano, with celeste and vibraphone alongside him and small bells attached to his hands. Kosugi was equipped with violin, flute, mouth organ, an electronic modulator, porcelain bowls and at times he used his voice. Lacy played soprano saxophone, of course. Now and then he pressed the mouth of the instrument against the skin of a kettle drum. He occasionally fiddled with a transistor radio, and also found uses for a stepladder, a toothbrush and a spinning wheel. This was in no sense a routine musical session. Distant Voices preserves a unique occasion when three singular musicians joined together to embrace the unknown.

Steve Lacy, Yuji Takahashi, Takehisa Kosugi ‎– B2 - Midsummer Blues
