one of the most maddeningly eclectic performers in the creative
music scene today is elliott sharp. from free-improv and intricate
compositions with john zorn, bobby previte and butch morris to
fractured classical compositions for string quartet to fractured
rock & roll with mofungo to blistering blues guitar (his band
terraplane), sharp has done it all, and if he hasn't, give him
time. i'm honestly not familiar with turntable/sampler whiz dj
soulslinger, but i know a good beat/sample when i hear it. (no, i
do not think that turntables-as-instruments and samplers are the
end of music in our time -- as with anything else, it's how you
use it that matters & there'll always be more hacks & pretenders
out their than visionaries. besides, i don't hear anyone
dissing/dismissing the soprano saxophone because of kenny g...)
recorded live at the st. ingbert jazz festival, sharp & djs lay
out some heavy, chunky yet fleet faster-than-speed-of-speed beats
and some freewheeling noise with samples darting in & out. yet
this duo listens to each other closely, creating a dizzying,
blurred matrix of sound in which form is implied, then fleshed
out, then remade again. this is music/sound where texture &
adventure are paramount -- those comfortable with only
verse-chorus-verse type contexts had best walk on by. but if you
like how graham haynes is extending the jazz tradition with his
use of sampling, or wonder what might've occurred had john cage
and dj shadow collaborated, or would've like to have seen/heard
sonny sharrock improvise with luke vibert, rwong territory is rite
for u.
