This recording was made in a St. Paul basement with a washing machine for background. Consequently there are sound effects here that could not be improved upon. As the author explains, “As for the washing machine, it is ambient industrial backbeat, the heartbeat of the nation, the pulse of modern language itself, the carrier of water in a box, hewer of wood in a wire, the robot slave lurking in the background, &c &c.” For other installments of this novel, visit www.loveinthekgb.com Continue reading

Drum-artist Otzir Godot dives to the improvising worlds of sounds, rhytms and words. The narration of the his lyrical-orchestration drumwork is a far reaching project to the problematics of esthetics sublim: to the semantics, feelings and visions beyond the words. Godot works with solo projects and in different duo-and trio environments. Drum-artist Otzir Godot has received classical education in percussion. However his main aim is to expand the creative possibilities of the drum set. Improvising has always been the key word to Godot’s world. The path has gone from classical music trough various rock bands, world music and jazz towards to free areas of expression. Together with drums, marimba, gongs and ethnic percussion he provides lyrical landscapes of sounds, rhytms and words. In recent years Godot has been in close co-operation with modern dance professionals and theatre work. Nowadays Godot is deeply involved with trio KAN together with butoh dancer Aki Suzuki and shakuhachi / khaen mouth organ player Jone Takamäki as well as free improvising band ZOGA with violin player Mikko-Ville Luolajan-Mikkola and singer Reija Lang.
