Paul G Smyth - Holy Thursday

Holy Thursday by Paul G Smyth

4...according to our on Thu 16 Nov, 2006.

What is it with avant-garde composers? Don't they realise the sound of 37 crazed gibbons on crack running up & down the keys of a piano is not gonna create a coherent symphony? I'm sorry but 100 monkeys blah 100 typewriters & 1000 years blah blah blah Shakespeare blah work of genius blah blah don't apply here. What does apply is enough raging nihilism to kill an ox at 40 paces. Apparently this PAUL G. SMYTH feller has shared stages with the likes of Derek Bailey, Keiji Heino & Damo Suzuki so he's got fans in the right places. And don't get me wrong. This double 3" CD, 'Holy Thursday' on Slow Loris has many moments of stark minimalist beauty for that frozen afternoon in the park watching the last leaves desert the trees as a strange winter begins to envelope yr soul. There. That's poetry that is. Must be inspired or something......
