Just off a very frothy Bryan Eubanks visit. He enjoyed Seoul, and his insights did some timetravel to my brain and reminded me of the initial trip of being here and here not being "there." His visit brought some music, satisfying and otherwise, but the highlights must include a session at my place with joonyong and chul-ki, bulgasari, a (botched) recording session with kae sOo-jung, and a couple great gigs, one of which can be actually seen and heard here (Quicktime), courtesy of host/pianist Park Changsoo.
The good omens abounded during the visit: two small dogs fucking in the middle of an intersection. A pink blank cassette. A spinning pencil. Bryan also got to play with my construction-site partners with sexxxy results, and we had a sanctioned gig in the Sadang subway station wow with Sato Yukie.
We also did recordings for a third Don Brown and Dan Reynolds album. The one with the book. Yeah, a hard-bound book, a rasbliutto first.
Alfred has a new release, a double cd: nu:clear re:actor and ¿ì ¿ì (them's supposed to be Corean letters. Blogger probably can't display them). I am on both discs, but it's hard to tell! Other contributors of sound sources include Oliver Griem, Yi Soon-joo, Phil Minton, and the greatChoi Sun-bae. The two discs are very different from each other. It looks like Alfred has a new label, too: 0 Back CD (500cd).
Bill Ashline has a new weblog that seems to focus on political stuff, but if you go toward the bottom you'll find his published writings (on music).
I'm working on a May tour. Maybe New Zealand. or Maybe West Japan.
