not ionisation

[alocispepraluger102]

edgar varese' ionisation would seem to be a lovely vehicle for a small or large improvising group.

has any group taken a swing at it?

the percussive beginning and the flute solo, and the layers would seem more than perfect to tear into, or is it new music that is too ancient?

Hey, wait a minute...what flute solo? Ionisation is the percussion-only piece.

The chances of anyone improvising a more beautiful coda to that piece are pretty much nil.

Density 21.5 is the flute piece.

Supposedly Eric Dolphy played it.

thanks and apologies.

this piece began with substantial percussion and then had a flute solo with orchestral backing, leading to a heavily orchestrated with significant brass section.

i am busy at the moment but will check the recording in about an hour.

Boy, am I confused.

Boy, am I confused.

the piece aloc confused many with , including himelf, was the magnificent 1950's varese composition, 'deserts,'

which would make a great hourlong concert jazz piece.

I could get behind that idea. Maybe improvised interludes around the electronic interludes.

Hey, kids, let's start a band!

lots of acoustic meat at the start, and well into the work. the electronics start quite later.

all the really creative cats want to do their own stuff. bet georgy lewis could get into it.
