Rotten Shade. Broken Dome. Saddest Summer. AT: Each track was a joy to make, and luckily I can still surprise myself and open up new things that I didn't know I was capable of.

This album is the first where I have these heavy classical string pieces coupled with straighter songs. I have a very intimate relationship with the music.

I have always tried to make music that I would like to hear myself; Tim Smith from the Cardiacs once said 'You have to be in your own favourite band'. I love this term.

I want to feel enveloped by the music, surrounded by a world of my own making. You're also a visual artist - when did this begin, and do you see it as much a part of you as your music? I've become quite fascinated by outsider artists and their relationship to music. Is that an aspect of visual art that interests you? AT: Visual art was my first passion in life. From an early age all I wanted to do was be a painter; I spent years studying art, but by the end of art college I was already moving away from the art world, and music and sound was starting to take its place.

Although recently I have got back into oil painting - the cover to the IMBOGODOM record and Dorwytch are both paintings - all the other album covers were black and white ink drawings, so it's been good to ring the changes and to bring in colour to the new records. I really love outsider art, I've been a huge Henry Darger fan for a long time and I love the fact that these artists are outside the whole uptight art world.

It seems like the last place that their redundant theory cannot penetrate. Do you think your vocal has changed much over the years? Have you learned a lot about using your vocal?

On Dorwytch it sounds like you are in complete possession of it - it's very striking and beautiful AT: Part of me feels that not much has changed with my vocals. It's probably the thing I am most confident about, as it is the thing I've done for the longest. I started using a slightly higher register after I got into people like David Crosby and Alexander Spence. It seemed like in the 60s and 70s, men were not so afraid to sound more feminine or ethereal.

I do really enjoy singing and using the voice as another instrument to compliment the arrangements. I think of beauty as ever more important in the world, the artist has often such a critical role, a reflective fearless role. What do you think? AT: Beauty comes in all different shapes and forms - even the most ugly things can have a sort of beauty to them. I try to bring a harmony to my music whether it be complimentary or opposing forces. All I try to do is create something which is about my honest feelings and emotions, and finding beauty in all of these confusing human aspects.

Mridangam scuttles around and between channels like inebriated dragonfly. The close proximity of the fatalistic, sorrowful string portamentos and the snakehipped, agitated Indian barrel drum is highly successful in its destruction of context sensitivity. Witches Woo. The two drummers appear here in a more directly rhythmic role, but their playing remains very lateral and textural, with more stress on cymbal work than on previous tracks. It does proffer a semblance of structure, though, for an attentive ear at least.

Papa Joe brings here an aura of mystery, sometimes underpinned with the trombone in a quasi-harmonic mode. The drummers crowd in false interjections and we are plunged deeply into the mystic world of violinistic lament, fast drumstick hatching, and eerie, hiccupped bisbigliandos on the piano. Somewhere far away another source of harmonics pre-recorded violin?

Surprisingly, just as we expect the formless mass to muddle through with an ease of Escherichia coli, there is a sudden, dramatic climax.

The violin weeps gently, comforted by a friendly trombone. Feder Rhodes re-appears, in a knot with the continued percussive frottage and Mat Maneri returns on electric viola. The production is extraordinarily mellifluous and well-defined. All this stockpile of riches is suddenly abducted to serve a songform. An excellent edition to your library of avant-songs. An Angel Passes By. Between the two drummers, one is rooted in the tradition of impressionistic mosaics, the other epitomizes neo-harmolodic idiom.

The interspace between them is plastered with the organ and synthetic frizzle. The whole construction generates an illusion of false indeterminacy. One of the keyboards even re-creates a mellotron-like chorus. Short intermezzo populated with an unlikely trio of old male vocal, sampled mellotron and mridangam. The lisping voice is heavily argumentative and emotes in a tragicomical fashion.

The War Room. This is an organ-based symphony of altered chords and ornaments from the full orchestra of sampled mellotron, rich rhythm section, and distinctly guitar-sounding fuzz violin. In other words, a bizarre heavy-metal jazz moment for avant-garde ears.

Soon enough, the impetus collapses into a mesmerizing inquadratura painted by the trombone, electric violin and skittish drums. The full ensemble is now anti-melodic and recombined mayhem rules.

Self-styled fuzz violin makes a comeback, but the way Maneri sustains the notes makes you believe that the instrument is plucked and processed, rather than bowed. The record turns the full circle now, back to the romantic opening. Despite the hissing keyboard, this is a romanticizing, tranquil violin soliloquy: temperate and affective, but also multi-form and undecidable.

Electronic sizzles intrude upon the lyrical bliss, but do not durably distract. Some time in the mids, Kansas City-based saxophone player and horn sculptor Mark Southerland began to collaborate with percussionist extraordinaire Mike Dillon. They shared taste for jazz and blues classics as well as contemporary groove revivalism. Fascination with Art Ensemble of Chicago correlated with their predilection for striking costumes, masks and props. Several bass players performed and recorded with the band, notably Bill McKemy.

In more recent recordings, they were joined by Johnny Hamil. Southerland operates a whole storeroom of unique horns of his own making, generating highly original, idiosyncratic textures. Cognizant of half a century of American musical tradition, they lay out dense grids of largely representational and yet path-breaking ceremonials.

It is therefore not surprising that they forged an occasional collaboration with Eugene Chadbourne. Their output is not easily available and it is unclear if Malachy Papers are currently in existence.

A lattice of saxophones, magnetic samples and nonlocal drumming greets visitors with lunatic abandon. The horns, endowed with heterotropic tone colors, fall into a dance mode before the vitriolic, repressive onslaught resumes. Blown-out squeal, squawk, blare and peal crowd out other contributors with dogmatic precision. Four Titted Puppet. True to its title, this track opens in a more playful manner.

The accents and theme progression are left to the horns, and they do smolder with nerve. Throughout the CD, Texan Earl Harvin will enrich the rhythmic palette of the band, showcasing a highly intuitive, yet thematic style.

His non-resonant cymbals engage here in an equiprimordial conversation with the vibraphone and tenor saxophone. Brilliant Corners. Southerland strays from the original, burrowing deeply in mid-size phrases. Gimpy Ho. A downtempo opening with intrametric fill-ins from both Harvin and Dillon on shakers It leads to a stop-go dialogue between the two percussionists.

Southerland appears on discordant, plasmatic horn — or rather multistrata of horns. But soon the overdrive bass and drums go punk, with the horns frontloading a cavalry charge. After a short lapse, Dillon does a little Ruth Underwood jig on marimba, but less for a colorful interjection that defined early- to mids Zappa sound, and more for prosaic beat-keeping. The final cadence brings back the gnashing horns, muddling through with the illuminative accompaniment from the drums and overdrive bass.

Solitude of Kim. Light percussion intro on dampened cymbals appears synchronous with left-hand tabla drum which abducts the entire low-end register of the percussive spectrum.

The poetic theme will hinge on ambidextrous vibraphone, while the saxophone remains initially confined to surges and short repetitions. With each sequence, its barks are becoming more articulate, cheerleading bolt-on swells. It is as if the structure of the composition were to unveil the thematic component only gradually, until some final climax. Throughout this iterative mobilization of sonic resources, the production remains very clear and the instrumental simultaneity easily legible.

If Embryo were a jazz band, then this is probably how they could sound. Moon Germs. Multi-tracked horns gulp and unleash a fury of pinched, shrill tones. The vibraphone or glockenspiel cast long-lasting traces, leaving it up to the bass to maintain a thematic order. He sways perfectly between the improvised and scored sequences; his tremolos are purposeful and appropriately measured.

The bass-drums section is loquacious, but self-limiting. The amazing horns are otherworldly — diverging into an unsightly asylum full of synthesized slates. Pagan Residue. Harvin offers a radical re-reading of his skill on skins, initially eschewing any contact with metal.
