Looking forward to the Frith fest. A buddy of mine, whose movie The Reach of Resonance, is about musical artists of Frith's ilk (I think Frith himself barely appears in it), spent quality time with guitarist several years back: https://www.steveelkins.net/Interviews/On-Music/Fred-Frith/i-vkGT7xL/

The only time I heard Diamanda Galas it sounded like one of my songs w a band and i was like "Oh." lol "Cool."

So I'd prolly dig it all

The bandcamp pages says recorded in 2020 to celebrate 50th anniversary of Bitches Brew. Wonder why the delay in release.

London Brew and Nucleus bring to mind a terrific Danish prog/fusion band, Secret Oyster, no doubt inspired by Bitches Brew:

↳ Song: "Of Valence: Movement II" by "Henry Threadgill"
“ “Of Valence” is dedicated to the percussionist and polymath Milford Graves, who passed away in 2021. The piece was inspired by Graves’ dedicated study of the human heart beat and its application to music. This can be heard in particular in Movement II, where the string trio of Sarah Caswell on violin, Stephanie Griffin on viola and Mariel Roberts on cello, play their parts while listening to a playback of their own heartbeats as recorded previously by a cardiologist. Their individual pulses dictate the tempo at which they play, further highlighting their snaking, contrapuntal weave. Graves’s influence can further be observed in the use of transducers hooked up to drummer Weinrib’s cymbals, the signal from which are then electronically altered, lending them an other-worldly timbral sheen.”

Observations:

↳ Song: "Of Valence: Movement II" by "Henry Threadgill"
“valence, also spelled valency, in chemistry, the property of an element that determines the number of other atoms with which an atom of the element can combine. Introduced in 1868, the term is used to express both the power of combination of an element in general and the numerical value of the power of combination”

Avatar 9:12pm
Listener Gregory:

I don't like the words "valency, saliency," and their ilk, because they add an unnecessary vowel. We turn "silent" into "silence"—we don't need to make it "silency" to indicate that it's a noun. So, just say "valence" and "salience" and be elegant! To be clear, I have not fumed about this for two decades, not at all.
