John Zorn - The Bacchanalia

On REFLECTIONS OF A GATHERING STORM, I wanted to explore the nebulous sense of instability and insecurity that currently seems to permeate our lives. Sonically, I wanted to make something that felt like it was on the verge of collapse.

Simultaneously, I wanted to acknowledge that insecurity and vulnerability often go hand in hand, and so making myself vulnerable on this recording was an important part of this process. To achieve this, I paired synthesized sounds with recordings of my own voice, attempting to sing.

This work is an effort to acknowledge the underlying vague, imbalanced experience that we seem to be trapped within. Both inwardly and in a broader sense, this intangible, underlying turbulence leaves us teetering on the brink. These tracks attempt to echo this delicate precariousness: as if on the verge of collapse. 

REFLECTIONS OF A GATHERING STORM aims to acknowledge this collective state of collapse, with the hope that maybe just holding it all together is enough.

This is an interview that David Sylvian gave to Sarah Ward of London's Capital Radio, following the release of Quiet Life. I recorded it from the broadcast, I think in late 1979, but it could have been early 1980.

Tweaker is an American alternative rock collaboration founded by Chris Vrenna in the late 1990s. Tweaker's musical style incorporates synthpop, progressive rock, modern jazz and electronica genres, and is characterized by a generally melancholy and sombre sound with distinctive artwork to match.
The album The Attraction to All Things Uncertain was Vrenna's "solo" debut and it was not until the follow-up album, 2 a.m. Wakeup Call, that Clint Walsh was announced as a permanent fixture to the band. While Vrenna and Walsh supply most instruments and electronics, many other famous musicians have lent their voices and talents to Tweaker, including Robert Smith, David Sylvian, Burton C. Bell, Craig Wedren, Will Oldham, Hamilton Leithauser, Buzz Osborne, Jonathan Bates and Johnny Marr.
The albums that have been released follow a central theme that was planned out and this was given to the collaborators. Both albums' cover art were paintings by Joe Sorren.
Tweaker wrote and performed the title theme to Doom 3, which was released via the band's website.
As Chris Vrenna and Clint Walsh, Tweaker did music for the animated television show Xiaolin Showdown.
While the Doom 3 theme was Heavy Metal-oriented (to the point of often being misattributed to Tool), most of Tweaker's music presents a unique combination of synthpop, shoegaze, modern jazz, and industrial.
It was rumored for a while that Tweaker would release a new album in 2008, although no new material surfaced, possibly due to Vrenna's duties towards Marilyn Manson, as he worked with Manson on his 2009 album The High End of Low.
