Heh, Don Van Vliet? That probably doesn't count, so: Mukai Shutoku. Seiichi Yamamoto. Rick Bishop. Jim O'Rourke. Yoshimi P-We. David Grubbs. eYe. Tatsuya Yoshida. Trey Spruance. Fred Frith. Hisako Tabuchi. Too many to even mention, really.

A random one would be Merzbow because his body of work does need more and more global recognition. They should teach his music in schools and deservedly so.

why didn't you go and see him the other day?

super_charger · 05.02.2008, 09:20 AM

If I pick just one I'd have to say Fred Frith. In terms of musical output the guy is a monster. In addition to countless solo albums he has collaborated with too many musicians to count and been a vital member of numerous groups such as Naked City, Henry Cow, the Art Bears, Massacre and Skeleton Crew. He excels at both composition and improvisation and is a virtuoso on guitar as well as accomplished performer of various instruments. Genius.

Good question. I was meeting a friend who would rather die than seeing someone like Merzbow live. I have decided to make it a point of going to many more gigs this year 'cause I feel like I've been slacking for the past 2 quite a bit. I'm trying to make it more of a point to my friends that after work they will have to go through sonic torture in order to feel honoured of my presence.

batreleaser · 05.02.2008, 09:25 AM

i should throw in richard d james for good measure as well.
