Zaterdag 22 oktober wordt er weer een nieuw hoogtepunt aan het festivalseizoen van 2011 toegevoegd: Graag Traag #2 . Dit bijzonder kunstzinnig en avontuurlijke feestje wordt samengesteld door Bart de Paepe van het Belgische cassettelabel Sloow Tapes en vindt plaats in Hasselt. We schakelen even een versnelling lager en duiken in de fascinerende line-up van psychedelica, acidfolk, drones, improvisatie en andere al dan niet minimale experimentele muziek. Het Graag Traag festival draait dit jaar om de veelzijdige artiest Angus MacLise , niet alleen de [...]
For years, Angus Maclise's music was hard to locate. Very few recordings existed, an incredible state of affairs for someone so pivotal to the history of 20th century experimental music. As more have come to light, all too often we've seen why they remained hidden for so long: shockingly poor recording quality. Tunnel Music #1 is mastered from a home-recorded tape that sat in the bottom of a drawer for thirty years, but for all of its lo-fi idiosyncrasies, it's a very powerful piece of (what appears to be) process music. A fascinating piece [...]
How different would the Velvet Underground have been had Angus MacLise remained as their drummer? Well, that's an easy one. The answer is "very". Unlike some people, I have nothing against Mo Tucker. The Velvets were a great band, and in rock music, more than in any other genre, you can't have a great band without having a great drummer. That's my theory, anyway. But MacLise was something else entirely. Listen to this wild drum and flute workout from his 1972 recording Invasion of Thunderbolt Pagoda and tell me you [...]
The idea that Earth has been visited by aliens at some point in the distant past is not a new one. In Sumer, the alien Gods were known as the Anunnaki. While in Greece, they are known as Annodoti and in the Celtic lore, the Tuatha de Danaan. Tthe Semetic scriptures (Torah, Talmud, Old Testament, and other Apocryphal texts like the Book of Enoch), call them The Nephilim, The Sons of God, or The Watchers. We are told the gods themselves had their own monarchy, with laws of succession similar to our own, and they built a [...]
Ani buni, am trait cu ideea ca formula originala a Velvet Underground o avea la voce pe Maureen Tucker. Imi placea ce scotea din tobe fiinta aia micuta, cu un drum kit care avea sa fie mostenit, ca estetica, de majoritatea trupelor punk din anii '70. Acum ceva timp o prietena mi-a propus un pariu pe care l-am pierdut: ar fi trebuit sa-i spun in 10 secunde numele primilor membri Velvet Underground ca sa se dezbrace. Asa am aflat de Angus Maclise , primul percutionist al formatiei. El venea din cu totul alt mediu fata de Maureen, cu influente [...]
Ya Ho Wha 13 were the band formed out of the pre-dawn practice sessions that served also as morning meditation for the Source Family, the L.A.-area religious sect that ran their own health food restaurant during the '70s. Drag City has collected nine unreleased songs for this month's Magnificence in the Memory . This interview by Dan Collins.
* Angus Maclise : Blastitude (9.0 mb) | Humming In The Night Skull (7.5 mb) From The Invasion Of The Thunderbolt Pagoda : Quakebasket Records : SB-78 I first heard about Angus Maclise during my Velvet Underground infatuation. He was, almost mythically, their first drummer. He quit when he found out that they were going to actually get paid for a gig and they would have to follow set times. With those auspicious beginnings, it's no wonder that [...]
