Late Lunch with Out to Lunch
[Repeated from Wednesday 2pm.] Polemic, politics, mouth jazz and spontaneous music with Ben Watson. This week: What is time? What is music? Ben contends that, like everything, music happens in time, but time can be dense or vacuous. His preference is for dense time jam-packed with invention, so he favours free improvisation, and plays three pieces recorded by AMM All-Stars at the Betsey Trotwood at their Friday lunchtime residency: Esther Leslie on Winbridge voice amplifier; Dave Black on electric guitar; Nick Lubran on mini-acoustic guitar; Out To Lunch on electric piano, flute samples and organ; Joanna Boxall on shaker; and Mario Guarnieri on percussion. However, what about doubling or tripling time, by superimposing music recorded at different times? Following Frank Zappa and Simon H. Fell, Ben calls this "xenochrony", and plays two pieces created by superimposing alien rhythms on his own guitar and piano. Plus, Peter Baxter responds on percussion in real time to a slowed-down recording of a Lions Mane mushroom triggering a synthesiser by its electrical communication system...
