After five long months in the stasis tubes, the crew of the WSS Boobyprise are finally awakened! Still a little 'out of it' from their experience, Hal 90 makes them all comfortable in Nine Backward, where the EFSPACM Festival 2025 is being live streamed from Earth. So, put your feet up, pour yourself a drink and enjoy the show with them. Just don't expect them to make a lot of sense yet...
Yeah yeah yeah, you know who we are.
Wojciech tells us he chose this track for the special as it's very important to him. He'd been very sick with what he describes as 'blood problems' and recently released from hospital, surprised to be alive. A friend had leant him a camper by the sea, no people around, just trees, birds, the sea and wild rose bushes. Just him and a few synthesizers. This was his favourite, and I can see why. He hasn't got a Bandcamp set up completely yet, but the video for the track is on You Tube, enjoy the peace with him... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P73IjYsFGOg
His second contribution is an interpretation of the John Cage piece (come on, we've all done Cage covers, some of us have even attacked them with hedge trimmers!), recorded 12 years ago during the Cage Centenary celebrations. If memory serves correctly, the original was Cage's first piece for tape recorder. The stuff you learn listening to my show, eh?
Ed End rather kindly did this radio edit of his favourite 24 minute work for the show. It was apparently meant to be included on the album "Neverland", but his collaborator didn't include it. His loss, our gain, wouldn't mind a listen to the full piece as it happens. Anyway, whilst the tale that goes with it isn't quite as moving and dramatic as Wojciech's, it's still well worth a read; Ed found a belt with the title written on it in a second hand shop, so he bought it. I can see Stephen King sharpening his quill as I write this... https://www.horsnorme.org/rADio_eNd/rADio_eNd_english.html https://peter-hopes-explodingmind.bandcamp.com/album/neverland
Volker Störtebeker up next, with a little help from Paloma B.L., taken from the EFSPACM project, "Plastic Horrors", and you will indeed be sleeping with the lights on for a few days after hearing this one. Actually, the whole album has some fairly scary stuff, so I'll add the link for that one too. Sweet dreams... https://sturmunddrang.bandcamp.com https://ensembleforsoundpoetryandcontemporarymusic.bandcamp.com/album/plastic-horrors
A collaboration of two of our members, Adalbert van den Bosch and Toshiro Koreshina, aka Piotr Szreniawski, who is also up next solo. Felt quite sorry for our Lt. Annette Ouncer when she planned to read the title out for this one, having valiantly mastered Terbeschikkingstelling not long before. Wicked stuff that suspended animation...
Yes, it's Piotr, I'd already given that away in the notes for the previous track, hadn't I? A wonderfully modest contribution ("It was a short piece, improvised on my recorder. I am somehow proud of it.") from the EFSPACM project, "Books For Self Help And Self Sabotage" (I really don't think I'd need the latter)... http://toshirokoreshina.bandcamp.com
Radical Radek, aka Syfil SemeNoise, the great Czech noizemeister (yes, I do make words up, sue me), with a delightful ten minute mega fest of ear battering (leave it, Dave, it's meant to sound like that). His track names make brilliant Captain's Log Stardates too. Just saying...
And a new member in the fold, welcome aboard, sir, and he's even bought his own bus. Nice change of pace musically too. This track is drawn from his 2024 EP, "Vivid Imagination", and Jon succinctly sums up his reason for picking this track for the show; "A lot of people really liked this one." Well, there ya go, think you can safely add us to the list... https://jonshuemaker.bandcamp.com
Another of our group admins struts his funky stuff here, the experimental vocalist also known as Neal D. Retke. Not actually sure where this piece comes from, don't think he said, or it could just be my age. I forget why I went into rooms sometimes. And if anybody has seen my slippers, I'd really appreciate a heads up... https://panpanpanaviandistresscall.bandcamp.com
Track with a tune, yay! Sssh, don't tell anyone, but we do play them sometimes. And it arrived complete with a few thoughts from the man himself; "I learned classical guitar, and taught myself bass, drums, synthesizers at an early age. Quit at 20, and took up making music 30 years later, playing mostly improvisations in bands and ensembles. Due to health issues, homerecording became more and more important. My music combines elements of improvisation and composition in various genres, enjoying to cross and mix them." Now stop blaming him for that Wham! Christmas number one and move on... https://wilfriedhanrath.bandcamp.com
Bit of a mystery to me is this one, arrived with a graphic but no thoughts. And me and Matej Volčin Lučnik can't even connect on Farcebook coz The Zuckerberg (He Moves In Mysterious Ways His Wonders To Perform, Blessed Be The Zuckerberg) has decreed a maximum amount of friends one is allowed to have. Farcebook: Connecting The World (*terms & conditions apply, theirs)... https://krepproductions.bandcamp.com
All material in this month's show came from members of this creative arts group, of which I am a proud member, in celebration of our first festival, running from 4th - 10th August in various online locations, click the Facebook link top left to pay it a visit. There's also an EFSPACM Festival Blog, which I'll add a link for at the end. The group is one that really stretches its members creatively, coming up with some quite innovative ideas for projects most months, the general result being a new album on their Bandcamp, and yes, there will be an album of all the tracks on the show, again watch for the link at the end. https://efspacm.blogspot.com/2025/06/efspacm-festival-in-august.html https://ensembleforsoundpoetryandcontemporarymusic.bandcamp.com o EFSPACMSTOCK: THE ALBUM - COMING SOON! |
