This issue is about Freedom Principles – 16 pages of the mag are given over to our writers to run riot on the subjects of music of liberation, freedom in sound and whatever else they care to mention.
The freedom piece includes (but is not limited to): how rock ’n’ roll babblers The Trashmen and Hasel Adkins freed language from conventional meaning; how improv’s free music has its own rules and regulations; reports from Eastern Europe, the Balkans and Turkey on how rock music soundtracked political liberation; how US trap MCs escape the pressure of the ghetto in the space of the studio; the story of the tape recorder and the sampler liberating sounds from their everyday contexts; the hard-bop and post-bop jazz players who created their own versions of free jazz; how Dutch bubbling DJs such as Moortje used reggae versioning, hiphop sampling and high speed record decks to create their own wildstyle music; and much much more.
Elsewhere, there's an Invisible Jukebox with chameleonic New York trombonist Peter Zummo, and Bites on bilingual Japanese singer Eiko Ishibashi, Indian folk music recordists and proselytizers Amarrass, and extended technique early music scholar Laura Cannell. In Soundcheck, the full page reviews are of a new album by house DJ and producer Theo Parrish, Tyshawn Sorey’s composed frameworks for improvisation, and Arabic music genre-splicer Maurice Louca.
Below The Radar 18, the latest release in the series of compilations showcasing some of the underground musicians covered in recent issues of the magazine is now available to download from http://www.thewire.co.uk/btr plus The Wire Tapper 36.
Don't forget that every back issue of The Wire since issue number one, summer 1982, is available to The Wire’s subscribers online or via The Wire's App. That’s more than 30 years, 370 issues and 30,000 pages of underground and experimental music history.
Whether you’re on the web, iPad, iPhone or Android, the complete archive of The Wire is searchable so you can find and read any article or review published by the magazine on specific musicians, groups and genres, or by key critics and contributors.
