frith froth

(evan parker – fred frith duo set 2 @

the stone 10/15/09)





no bail out akin to start

no holds barred

ofter the fixer

a smooth esthetic from the get-go

every beat on the beatup

fred brushin the strings / palette painted

like painting yes they are painting

beyond trinkle tinkle

beyond mere trinket & artifice

suffice it to say THIS is ART

tuning up/down boing-a-boingin

see the sounds emerge & merge

contradict & concisely consciously depict

act (en) counter / attack

fred tingly raspy like dynamo in a sci-fi flick

reactor exploding

no needing to see or even anticipate one another

no formulaic formulas

creating immediate solvable theories

that need not be solved immediately

defined as un-definable

turbine(d) – cycling attentiveness

it’s the chains broke free

& put thru the sifter

think incredible not incredulous thoughts

meta-bonding / bounding bound by & bowed by…

hot for an underlying melody @ times

a second there & gone to lilting

this craving

my gruff pushy boyish naïve sensitive self

me most sensitive soul - ted coughs right in my ear

a mini tsunami ensues

fierce wind & storm out on the street tonite

in here too

donors aplenty though donors be rare

there are salient & savory promptitudes & angles

with platitudes never part of the issue

large men & their umbrellas being breathed away

take my hand – i call to her as the storm blows us

down the street but she is too busy shouting @ me over

some silly domestic dispute



fred’s bare feet hit the pedals

his toes curl up - something electric there

the storm inside is also strong

& rips thru us just as the one out there

does

if you’ll only hold on to me for a bit instead of your anger

i think to myself keeping a safe distance at her request

leave your anger across the street i have

for now @ least

leave the cycles @ home

they play laments

spacious liturgical almost – distended church bell

difficult sonorities – a whole new view

knocking on the doors of…

fred says have to tune to that one now just so we can see where it’s going

not that we care – that’a another one down -

evan says: & 5 more to go



well we have to end by 11 - evan says pointing to the ceiling

we’ve got 3 minutes left

let’s see what we can play in 3 minutes

it’s the ballad isn’t it – fred says

i thought we played the ballad already – evan says –

we only know one – it’s gonna be a pretty ballad fred chimes in

& more ongaku & eumahk begin



& my body has gone somewhere else just then … AMEN.
