Gone
“The Joint”
WBRS-FM
Brandeis University,
Boston, MA
July 14, 1986
(WBRS-FM)

taper: Harrison Merims

Taper's Notes:

Here (finally!) is the last of Harrison’s recordings from the Boston area. It’s Gone!, featuring Greg Ginn of Black Flag (who had just played their final show 2 weeks prior), with who would comprise the Rollins Band rhythm section later, Andrew Weiss and Sim Cain!

All of the songs are instrumentals and, not having studied their catalog, I will leave the song titles fer you to figure out. What you’ll get here is a smattering of styles from spazz-funk to jazz to driving rock, it’s all here. It’s pretty lengthy too at 65mins. Feel free to add yer own Rollins style lyrics…throw in stuff about being ugly and a machine and lots of YEAH!s…you know the drill;))

Harrison was lucky enough to witness this live, a very intimate show in the summer at the mostly empty campus of Brandeis University. Now you can hear it… I figure this will make a nice back to school gift fer you kiddies out there…

Brian Eno- Music for Ara Pacis, 6 May 2008

Taper's Notes:

Nine years on from their first collaboration (`I Dormienti` in the undercrofts of the London Roundhouse), Brian (music) and Mimmo Paladino (installation, sculptures) have again joined forces for a collaborative project at Rome's Museo dell'Arra Pacis.
It ran from 11th March to 11th May.

Here is an audience recording, ipietri, a bright star in the Eno universe, sound wizzard and a good friend too has managed to visit the very installation and succesfully make a wonderful recording. Quality wise top notch!!!!

He asked me to upload this on his behalf and I feel honored (and happy to regain some of my reputation as some sort of `Eno pope` (or geek or whatsoever ;-)...). Since I didn`t take Eno's advice for slower and better thinking and made a remark at the `Nerve Net Forum` which lost me lots of sympathies there I want to repair some of the bad karma I have earned: People! Buy all of Eno`s records, he is a genius! Buy his books, dvds too and visit his installations, he is a great and gifted artist.

O.K.: here is, what ipietri wrote about the very recording (again thanks and all spots on him!!!!):

``as promised here's my recording inside the Ara Pacis in Rome
I made it yesterday afternoon with Core Sound Binaurals mic + Marantz PMD620 recorder
edited with Steinberg Wavelab and HarBal 2.3
no cuts in the recording, it's a 1 hour visit walking in the
installation... including some (rare) visitor chatting... rare and not
annoying, easily the reference recording from the installation :-))
I suggest you don't play it loud...it really works as a background...
it's playing now in my office and nobody is protesting :-)))``
