Now whilst I like some of this stuff and the spirit behind it, I find comments like 'We decided to formally have a music that was totally improvised...it was quite formally set down' to be laughable. That is not freedom, you might as well be playing Mozart. And why is it that many of these 'out there' guitarists have their guitars strung conventionally? Some nice sounds though.

I think this is from a channel 4 prog from the 80's called 'Six Faces of the Guitar' or something like that. The others who I can remember were John Gooding(I think) John Russell (stoned out of his head) Fred Frith (hilarious) and a stunning performance from Ron Geesin. I have it on a Betamax tape somewhere!

if you want to know the direction music ought to go in its kind of like radiohead mixed with godspeed you! black emperor. no words.. words detract from the value of music, thats the problem with western music its all about hooks, riffs, repetition, recognition, and a message people can relate to. its really cheesy. the best music is music for the sake of music not for a message. Good music is about different voicings of chords, build ups, and a layered/textured feeling you can kind of sink into

i posted a comment a year ago and am pleased this is still up on youtube. I heard from someone a while back that Syd Barrett was still talking of AMM and Keith Rowe long after he retired to Cambridge in the late 70's. Two chaps ahead of the possee.

So this thing is about prefering to be angry at the majority of people who like things that appeal to them?The words "Nobody cares and do you find it hard to socialize?" spring to mind.

I agree.
