whi
music is dedicated to promoting the power and beauty of improvised and
experimental music. Based in Liverpool, UK, it's largely based around
my activities and collaborations.
the
catalogue now includes nine items, including the first CD from
amere3, and a number of 'postal' collaborations, with Bret Hart, Lee
Noyes, Glenn Weyant, Barry Chabala and others, and two volumes of the
freejazz.org sampler. 'where we were' by Caroline
Kraabel & phil hargreaves is currently available on Leo Records. for
more information
on this release, see the dedicated
website.
whi CD's aren't
currently available online, although later releases are available for
free download. meantime, 'trees' by
amere3 is available online from Bruce's
Fingers in the UK and Cadence
in the USA, and Leo releases are available from the label directly here.
'musick for two machines'
by barry chabala and
phil hargreaves (whi
009) is now out. It's a suite of two disks, intended to be played
simultaneously on two CD players, both in shuffle mode (or course, MP3
players would work fine as well). Barry is a fine guitarist and sound
manipulator from New Jersey - i'm playing tenor sax on this one. go to www.twomachines.whi-music.co.uk
for the full poop on this one.
Volume
Two of the freejazz.org sampler (whi008) is still blinking shyly in the
spotlight of the world's attention, at www.freejazz.whi-music.co.uk.
Volume Two is a double album, with sixteen tracks from all over, and
now available free of charge; some fantastic playing on there.
Cadavre
Esquis is
an online collaboration with and between musicians of the freejazz.org
online community.
Still
available: friday morning
everywhere by phil
hargreaves and
Glenn Weyant, eighteen months in the making, and it's
an interesting mix of musicianship, soundscapes and Glenn's Kestrel
920, a sound sculpture of his own devising. Once again, it's a free
download (getting into this anti-capitalist vibe!), so if you have a
listen, please email me (info at whi-music.co.uk) to tell me what you
thought of it.
Mr
Glenn Weyant has mixed a video for OILAL, one of the tracks off friday
morning everywhere. Find it here:
