Pool (1980)


Questa opera dell'acclamato boxset "Parachute Years" include alcune delle più strane musiche mai incise su nastro. Contenente l'essenziale germoglio che si sarebbe evoluto nel leggendario gamepiece di Zorn, "Cobra", la lunga composizione "Pool" fu un grande passo nello sviluppo compositivo dell'autore.

Con la collaborazione del mago dell'elettronica Bob Ostertag, i folli percussionisti Mark E. Miller e Charles K. Noyes (The Toy Killers), il leggendario maestro di violino noise Polly Bradfield e, ovviamente, il compositore stesso al sax, clarinetto e duck calls, questo è uno dei più rigorosi ed enigmatici Game Pieces di John Zorn.


This release from the acclaimed box set The Parachute Years features some of the strangest music ever put to tape. Containing the essential seed that was to grow into Zorn’s legendary gamepiece Cobra, the extended composition Pool was a major step in Zorn’s compositional development.

Featuring electronics wizard Bob Ostertag, percussion madmen Mark E. Miller and Charles K. Noyes (The Toy Killers), the legendary master of noise violin Polly Bradfield and of course the composer himself on sax, clarinets and duck calls, this is one of Zorn’s most rigorous and enigmatic game composition.

Included as a bonus track is the original test and false start of Archery.
