i'm into that at the moment
Downtown Manhattan in the 1980s became the epicenter of a vital American improvised music scene. Some of the musicians had come to free improvisation through a background in jazz, but even if their recordings are found in the jazz sections of record stores and libraries much of the music, in actuality, bore only a tenuous relationship to jazz. For the most part there was not the melodic, harmonic or rhythmic foundation of even the freest of free jazz. Musicians performed in varying combinations, sometimes without any set parameters, and sometimes within a relatively open framework of instructions or cues ("structured improvisation"). While there were some similarities in intent and execution with the music of the post-Cagean or Fluxus composers, these downtown improvisers often performed in ad hoc formations without a designated leader or "composer." For the musicians, as well as the audience, much of the musical interest lay in the sonic surprises that arose out of the interplay of empathetic, adventurous musicians. Musicians utilized extended techniques on standard instruments as well as playing prepared and homemade ones. Listeners as well as players had to be on their musical toes.

hi here's the first post:
i just receive demos from Btong and light of Shipwreck for fragments label. this two are really cool, ambient drone for b tong, very similar to rovar17 ( frag003 ), great and deep ambiances. And very dark ritual drone for light of shipwreck, 50 minutes song very interesting. We have to think about that and decide something.
Next release for Fragments label will be the new album of the Noise drunk rockers WELLDONE DUMBOYZ. we just receive the preview track and it's just awesome stuff !! can't wait to release that !!!
