Hi Point Low Life / Cashmere Special with Ken Vandermark and Nate Wooley 05.11.2017

Please enjoy a rare studio session and interview of the two American avant-garde musicians/ composers,
saxophonist Ken Vandermark and trumpeter Nate Wooley at Cashmere Radio Berlin. Lovingly presented by Hi Point Low Life.

One day before their duo performance for the 1st of the Scenius series at ACUD in Berlin, the duo joined us in the studio and performed two new compositions of them (one piece by each artist).

The duo performs them for the first time in this recording.

Studio Live Session Starts at 57.16

Track 1: Deeply Discounted (57:32)
written by Nate Wooley based on an idea of John Cage who rewrote all the rhythms to an Erik Satie opera with his new notes and it became his new song…
Nate strips all the rhythms out and rewrites it in yet another way.

Track 2: Sequences of Snow (1:08:20)
written by Ken Vandermark, inspired by the work of Canadian experimental filmmaker Michael Snow for the rhythm and sound aspects of his work.
