Think of noisy amplifiers, … herz hum… unresolved phrases…

Wodwo - )When What Decides

Entourage Music and Theatre Ensemble 'The Mermaid's Purse: Live at Chatham College, 1976' out March 4th, 2022 on CD/digital, now available for pre-order.

In 1976 the Entourage Music and Theatre Ensemble reached a creative zenith. The nomadic troupe had just released The Neptune Collection, its iconic second album for Moses Asch’s Folkways Records, and decided to present the music to audiences across the rust belt in its most miasmic, elemental form. Extended stretches of full-group improvisation mingled with folk-tune like melodies during these performances, which featured multiple dancers spontaneously interpreting the music, at times in elaborate costume. Like contemporaries Popol Vuh, Sandy Bull, and Don Cherry, Entourage fused jazz and strains of traditional music from around the world to form a singular, kaleidoscopic vision of musical liberation. The Mermaid’s Purse: Live at Chatham College 1976 is the most complete, best-preserved audio recording of these performances, featuring music from across the Entourage catalog. It is being released for the first time 45 years after its recording, and features liner notes by lone surviving member Wall Matthews.

From the sleeve:
"Perhaps more than any other composer of his generation, Stockhausen realised that serialism had an expressive potential which went far beyond the method of twelve-tone composition devised by Schoenberg. In these three key works from the 1950s and early 1960s he found ways of using the serial principle to govern not just pitch, but every aspect of sound-types and their distribution in time and space, culminating in Plus-Minus, a score which specified not sounds but rather a system of organising sounds."

Phurpa '02[3+]' (SOMA037)

Lightening strikes in the heart of my home.
Do you wanna dream big or let it all go?
Want to go out or want to go in?
Will you pray at night for a way to begin? 
A way to begin, to be whole
who you know
who you show
same as who 
when you grow
when you glow...
I stay out too late to be heard
and I wonder where my friends are 
while I'm waiting in the dirt.
Little by little I've sparked my face,
Can you grow like a shadow in the beautiful shade?
