I have only been to Orion Studios once, and that was for a Project Lo show a few years ago. It was a great place to see a show like that (and certainly better than the other local show at Phantasmagoria). Shows there typically sell out, as the room is pretty small, and there are hardcore prog fans that go to whatever show they book.

Regardless of the fact that she has a brand-new album out, she is basically doing the same set she's done for the past 3 years. (Buy _A Go Go_ to hear said set.) If you were bored with her before, you'll probably be even more bored now. Her albums, on the other hand, are well worth checking out. Her latest, _Regrooving The Dream_ is complex, lush, and nothing like what she's doing live. Off to see _Dancer In The Dark_...

Patty's actually touring with a small band this time around - Marc Schulman on guitar and Ben Wittman on drums. Those guys should serve to really crank up the atmosphere, especially on Patty's later material... :) sherlyn =-= Sherlyn Koo - sherlyn@fl.net.au =-=-=-=-=-=-= [Sydney, Australia] "We will push on into that mystery And it'll push right back And there are worse things than that..." - Dar Williams ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2000 19:33:07 -0700 (PDT) From: kitty kat Subject: Re: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Re:=20H=F6yry-Kone?= On Wed, 11 Oct 2000 RedWoodenBeads@aol.com wrote: > http://www.sci.fi/~hoyrykon/ This would be such a cute domain name for a science fiction site... - -Kat - ------------- "The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement.

The free track is called "Bosnian Love Song Medley" and is of obvious interest to PH fans, but I think some ectophiles would enjoy it too - I know I did. - -----Original Message----- RE: Free AYUO MP3 track withPeter Hammill You can now download a music track on MP3 by AYUO, a musician/composer/vocalist from Japan, featuring Peter Hammill on vocals from his homepage in Vitaminic.co.uk The address is as follows: http://stage.vitaminic.co.uk/ayuo/ The track is called "Bosnian Lovesong Medley" and is from AYUO's new album "1000 Springs and other stories". This entire album is also available to download on MP3 at 80 p. per track (English currency). If you have a CD-R on your computer, you can use softwares such as CD Master to record it on to your CD at high quality sound. Listening to the tracks on RealAudio is free. Tell your friends and spread the word around. Here is a description of some of the tracks: Bosnian Lovesong Medley The singer, Jadranka, was a star in Yugoslavia during the 70's and 80's. She now lives in exile in Tokyo. When Ayuo played her a rhythm track, he had been working on, it reminded her of a folksong from Bosnia, her own country. Ayuo asked her to sing along. Peter Hammill reads a poem based on a 14th century Japanese play by Zeami. He also sings the beautiful gothic choir which surrounds this song. Ayuo plays a hurdy-gurdy and bouzouki. This song was then mixed by David Lord at Terra Incognita in England. The Holy Man and the Sinner Within This is based on a story by Nikos Kazantzakis (The Last Temptation, Zorba the Greek). Ayuo sings and plays the bouzouki, accompanied by a large band with violin, clarinet, tuba, bass, and 2 drummers and percussion. (The words: There was once a holy man, He lived up in the hills, Carving angels out of wood, The most sacred, you'd ever see... One day, he went insane because He couldn't hold it back. The door opened wide to let, Out his hidden friends. Too much restraint, Creates the devils of darkness, Filled with hate and lust, He lost all control. ) The original sequence of the tracks in the CD is as follows: 1) Bosnian Lovesong Medley 2) The Holy Man and the Sinner Within 3) Standing on the Edge 4) Dance of Life 5) Tonight Spring Begins 6) Cantigas 7) Different Languages 8) Rain and Snow 9) 1000 Springs 10) Evolving 11) He Needs Something To Believe Here is a profile of AYUO. AYUO ( Guitar, Bouzouki, Celtic Harp, Hurdy-Gurdy, Psaltery, Koto, Vocals, Words and Music ) Born October 19, 1960. He spent 1963-65 in Berlin and Stockholm and 1966-75 in New York City. He was influenced at first by the alternative culture in the 60's, and saw many bands such as Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane,Hawkwind, Genesis, etc. when he was 10-14 years old. He studied guitar first with Stanley Silverman and later with William Hellerman. He later studied the Japanese Biwa, Chinese Zheng, European Lute, and classical music composition. He joined $B!H(BFushitsusha$B!I(B, an avant-garde rock group led by Keiji Haino in 1979. Since 1983, he has recorded 10 solo albums for labels such as Midi, Epic-Sony, JVC Victor, Polygram, and others, in which he recorded with Peter Hammill, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Carlos Alomar, David Lord, Danny Thompson, and members of Steeleye Span and Fairport Convention. His more recent music tries to show the ancient musical link on the silkroad from Europe through the Balkans to Persia, India, Central Asia, China, Korea, and Japan by exploring the possibilities of using ancient and traditional music to create new music. He now leads his own group for which he composes and plays Bouzouki, Hurdy-Gurdy, Guitar, and other instruments. His most recent release is a CD of an opera called $B!H(BIzutsu$B!I(B scored for Japanese instruments with Celtic Harp, Hurdy-Gurdy, Sitar-Guitar Psaltery released on John Zorn$B!G(Bs Tzadik label. Peter Hammill has sung on 4 CDs by AYUO recorded by David Lord. Some of these tracks will also become available in this format soon. "A Song to Fallen Blossoms" is a 14-minute duet with Peter Hammill and Sarah Jane Morris sharing lead vocals, James Warren (The Korgis / Stackridge) on chorus, Ayuo on guitar, keyboards, and back-vocals, Guy Evans on drums, and Kazue Sawai on koto. It's based on an old Chinese novel called "A Dream of Red Mansions". "They sat on two bamboo stools and gazed at the moon and its reflection in the lake" is also based on the same novel and is a very beautiful melancholic track with 2 sisters reciting poetry in English. Peter Hammill helped to record this track, although he does not recite poetry on it. Peter Hammill also recites a poem from the medieval Latin anthology of poems, Carmina Burana on AYUO's track "Gratis Ago Veneri". Maddy Prior of Steeleye Span also sings "Axe Phoebus Aureo" from the Carmina Burana. There will also be live tracks such as "Smyrnean Air", Jaco, "Snakes in Mythic Rhyme"", and "Snake Goddess (Drum'n Bass)" on this page. Those of you interested in buying any of this on a CD can send a reply to this e-mail or to where it says e-mail on AYUO's homepage. Thanks. ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V6 #303 **************************
