 | V/A Fred Frith + Karen Stackpole : Nature Label : Sub Rosa Year : 2026 Format : CD Style : Experimental Availability : In stock Price : 14.90 € - BUY | |
| Description : | I have been fascinated by the sound and potential of gongssince I first heard Stockhausen's Mikrophonie 1 in the late1960s. When I moved to Oakland in 1999 I discovered thework of Karen Stackpole, one of the few percussionists in theworld specializing entirely in gongs, and attended several ofher performances. I always tried to imagine how I couldcombine my own sonic vocabulary with her incredibly richarray, and we enthusiastically agreed to a musical meetingwhich somehow kept being postponed, year after year.According to Fred Frith himself, these recordings areamong his most precious ones.Finally, as my teaching career at Mills College was windingdown, we succeeded in making an appointment to recordtogether at Karen's home studio in the Californian hills.As a seasoned professional recording engineer, she had hervast and beautiful collection of gongs meticulously placedand amplified. It was a joy! Guitar as gong, gong as harmonyand everything in between, an interweaving that left mebreathless. Fred Frith.

Karen StackpoleDrummer/percussionist Karen Stackpole has a long-standing passionfor gongs, scrap metal, and a range of 'ethnic' instruments. Shespecializes in dynamic soundscapes and textures and has contributed gong sounds to more conventional musical genres as well as providing source material for film soundtracks. In her exploration of metals, she has cultivated some distinctive techniques for drawing harmonics out of tamtams with various implements. In addition to solo work, she has performed and recorded with Machine Shop: Live Amplified Gong Experience (a duo with electronics master, Drew Webster), Sabbaticus Rex, Ghost in the House, Vorticella, Malcolm Mooney and the Tenth Planet, the Francis Wong Unit, and the rock band Steel Hotcakes. Most recently her work has focused on duo performances and recordings with experimental instrument builder Krys Bobrowski(Gliss Glass & Gongs), contrabassist Bill Noertker (Talking Frog), and guitarist extraordinaire Fred Frith. Fred FrithPioneer of the extended electric guitar. He learned to compose inHenry Cow, developed his song-writing skills in Art Bears, explored his multi-instrumentalism in Skeleton Crew, rocked the house with Massacre and is still doing all of those things, having been in one band or another continuously since 1964! Meanwhile his work has been performed by both Baroque and contemporary music ensembles, along with string quartets, chamber orchestras, and a whole range of groups and artists in the ever-expanding field of semi-popular music. Fred composes extensively for film and dance, and taught improvisation for years at Mills College in Oakland, California and the Musik Akademie in Basel, Switzerland. His life-long passion for improvising has increasingly led him to work with artists who don'tnecessarily define themselves as improvisers, including Braziliandrummer Mariá Portugal, violinist gabby fluke-mogul, and bricoleur extraordinaire Sudhu Tewari. Fred is the subject of Nicolas Humbert and Werner Penzels' award-winning film Step Across the Border. | |
