Sod and Sodie Sock and
Studio C
This 2CD pair features performances in Tokyo in 1996. Sod and Sodie Sock
documents a performance at the P-House gallery, where the three musicians
performed together and separately. The action extended beyond the gallery,
into the street in front, and down the block to a local hair salon. Recordings
documenting the simultaneous activities of Kelley, McCarthy and Violent Onsen
Geisha have been combined to allow the listener to experience the entire group
of, spatially separated, performances at once. Studio C features improvisations
recorded in a sound studio environment. East meets West in this collaboration
between renowned American West Coast and Japanese noise giants. A must for
fans of Japanese noise music, and fans of the Los Angeles Free Music Society.
