"We were in a Brooklyn basement full of artists and sound-poets
gathered to watch musicians throw down extreme noise improvisation. One
performer played records with two customized tone arms on his
turntable; the discs broke and scratched, creating shards of
hyperfractured beat play. He was followed by a quartet of young women
scraping metal files across amplified coils mixed through junk
electronics. I was to perform a spontaneous guitar/amp feedback piece
with a stand-up bass player on loan from his teaching post at Berklee
College of Music and a free jazz percussionist who had traversed
through New York's downtown underground in the 60's."
