Saw the incomparable Tom Cora with Thomas Chapin in Ann Arbor, decades ago. Such a wildly beautiful cellist...so very sad to hear of the deaths of Tom and Thomas some years later. The good truly die young. RIP Tom Cora... Fred Frith masterful..could listen to him for hours..
Listen to music by Fred Frith & Tom Cora, is to abolish the flood of noise and everyday images to a partially open space elsewhere where contingency and representation gave way to the immateriality of the sensible. Once closed the door on the hectic world, an underlying silence settles, slowness seized, preludes to an expansion of perception and consciousness. In the course of abstract art which they mark the vitality and always renewed interest, the expressive power of sound architecture breaks with all forms of transcription of reality to focus on the expression of an impalpable universe. Color, composition, rhythm, form a language that gives voice to the excitement!
Saw Frith playing this with David Moss on kids drums in a vegetarian restaurant in Vermont. Later saw Frith with Cora, but this music was definitely better than that performance.
