A drain pipe for a flute

from Pursuing Phantoms II: Gate to the Underworld by Count G

/

about

An expansive electro-acoustic suite of musique concrète, industrial punk, turntablism, free horn improvisation, and tape loop manipulation in 5 episodes.

I. Listen Mayakovsky
II. Vladimir takes his horn
III. Nothing is certain
IV. What about you?
V. Nocturne for disgrace

Based on twisting voice samples from a trio of famous Vladimirs: Lenin’s “Address to the Third Communist International”; Mayakovsky’s poems “Listen” and “What About You?”; and Beckett’s Vladimir desperately waiting for Godot. Except for Episode I, which was recorded live at MT’s home, Count G sent tapes to friends with instructions for structured improvisation. A musical call to arms against the confusion of ideas. Dedicated to the failure of the 20th century.

Doldrums and percussion: Moutro Monstrum
Bass instincts: King Kong of Korinth
Baritone sax spurts: Rupert Von Nutwood
Suspended trumpets: Igo Sigma
Guitar glitches and feedback: Masking Tapeworm
