Anthony Braxton Diamond Curtain Wall Quartet - Besançon & Moscow
- June 2008
Here are two good audience recordings from recent concerts in Europe by the Anthony Braxton Diamond Curtain Wall Quartet. (Many thanks to the tapers
and seeders on dime - blackforest and decade).
There is a short clip on youtube of the Moscow concert which gives a good feel for the interplay between the group and the atmosphere of that concert.
Overall it's the recording I like best, as the music is closest to the ghost trance music of the Iridium set. By contrast, the Besançon concert makes
much greater use of 'noise', in the manner of the Wolf Eyes music, which I like less - even though I suppose it is a natural extension of the drone
which underpins much of GTM. (Having said that, much of the music is still astonishing).
