Edited and pre-mastered by Despera at Worstward Records in Tokyo, 2008. Post-mastered by Ahad in Budapest, April, 2010.

Notes:
– Track 1.: [Emma-ō (閻魔大王):] „The Japanese Buddhist god of the underworld (from the Sanskrit Yama ). He lives in the Yellow Springs under the earth in a huge castle all covered in silver and gold, rosy pearls and other jewels. He is the judge of the dead and notes the sins of those who are sentenced to purgatory, and decides the degree of their punishments according to Buddha's Law. Anyone who has killed an innocent will be thrown into a boiling cauldron full of molten metal. However, if they have made a pilgrimage to each of the 33 shrines of the goddess of mercy Kannon, then all the evil they have done will disappear. Sometimes he is portrayed less pitiless and returns life to those who appear before him. On the last day of the Festival of the Dead, the sea is full of shoryobuni (’soul ships’), for on that day the high tide brings a flood of returning ghost who go back to their spirit world. The sea is luminescent with the light these souls emit, and their whispering can be heard. While the ghosts are embarking, no human ship should come near. Should one stray into the soul-covered sea, the ghosts will ask for pails. The sailors should only offer them pails without bottoms, for if they do not, the ghosts will sink their ship. Currently, Emma-ō is used as a bogeyman to scare little children.” (Micha F. Lindemans, http://www.pantheon.org/articles/e/emma-o.html)
– Track 2.: Improvisation on a theme from ”Ahad’s Masters Garden I.: Shapeshifting”. Rrose Sélavy aka Marcel Duchamp: ”Anémic Cinéma” (1926) is the first part of Ahad's film soundtrack project ”AMG I.: Shapeshifting”. Duchamp's original film is a silent movie.
– Track 3-5.: A famous Japanese Buddhist text, the Ōjōyōshū (往生要集), or ”Essentials of Birth in the Pure Land” was written before 986 by a monk of the Tendai sect named Genshin (源信). The Ōjōyōshū reads in many ways like Dante’s Inferno, where Genshin depicts various kinds of Buddhist hell realms, where various types of cruel and selfish actions are punished. In keeping with Buddhist theology, the hell realms are not permanent states of rebirth, but one can stay there for a very, very long time before being reborn again. ”The Hell of Retribution and Justice”, where one dwells for 12,500,000 years for destroying life or eating meat and people here are pummeled by demons into mincemeat; ”The Hell of the Black Rope”, where murderers and thieves are flogged with whips of fire and cut with burning axes; ”The Hell of Unlimited Suffering”, where the worst of the worst go: Devadatta, who tried to kill the Buddha a number of times, and split the early monastic community, is said to dwell here, but one day he too will be a Buddha though.
– Track 6.: Revelation 6:8
– Track 7.: Alexander Hammid: ”The Private Life of a Cat” (1944) is the third part of Ahad's film soundtrack project ”AMG I.: Shapeshifting”. Hammid's original film is a silent movie.

Dedicated to the memory of the legendary japanese psychedelic noise rock band Les Rallizes Dénudés and Nobuo Nakagawa (18th April, 1905 – 17th, 1984), director of the horror film masterpiece in 1960, Jigoku
(地獄; Hell).

JazzaJ / EIIEKTRIIK Wednesday, October 9, 2019 at 7 PM – 10:00 PM Auróra Auróra utca 11. 1084 Budapest Hungary ***scroll down for English*** Némi kihagyás után újra megnyílik előttünk a JAZZAJ sötét oldala. Kísérleti elektronika analóg és digitális útvesztőjébe kísérjük gyanútlan közönségünket. Az Auróra pincéjéből nyíló labirintus bejáratánál az Ex You dobosa, az újvidéki Filip Đurović osztja meg velünk magnószalagok keltette analóg hanghullámait. A szónikus intelmek feldolgozása után magabiztosan vágunk neki utunknak, mígnem egy titkos átjárón keresztül a Mákó Rozi—Kristóf Marci duó hipnotikusan dezorientáló produkciójának hatására elfelejtjük, hova is indultunk. Egy hirtelen kanyar után óriási terembe érkezünk, ahol Eric Cordier és Sőrés Zsolt nem létező rezonanciákkal rajzolják újra a valóság térképét, mígnem egyszercsak újra a nyolcadik kerületi utcákon találjuk magunkat...

John Butcher on Free Improvisation – John Butcher a szabadimprovizációról (1998)

John Butcher 15 Simple Statements on Free Improvisation – with Illustrations and Contradictions* John Butcher: Asymptotic Freedom, for feedback saxophone, snare drum, guitar & e-bow. A response to the work of Gustav Metzger. Self Cancellation, Install, Glasgow. 2008. © Philip Berryhill, 2008 1. Group improvisation involves an attempt to make music that no one player could imagine. It should force the musicians beyond their own conceptions. 2. Each player should equally be able to affect the content, form and direction of the music at any moment. 3. The physicality of sound production is inescapably connected with the creation, not just the execution, of the music. 4. Free improvised music is necessarily spontaneous, but is built on a background of years of study, experiment, thought and experience. 5. There exists the possibility of trying to play a music with no history. 6. Free improvisation shows that complexity is actually very natural. 7. Contemporary music seems t
