11 Ono Avant Garde


Andrew Hargreaves from 'the boats' fame has done some absolutely stunning re edits of avant garde pieces and one piece that uses a sample from a "burnley brass band LP" forget disco re-edits for dancing ! these are magical rhythmic re edits for listening. the complex constructions take the original sounds looping the sounds and making them into new tracks completely fresh sounding music that could have been made yesterday. Respect to John Cage and Edgar Varese for making the sounds that sound just as fresh today as they did when they were first conceived. andrew has done really good stuff with his first release for ono. thankyou andrew you are a star!
