John Zorn (born September 2, 1953) is an American avant-garde composer, arranger, producer, saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist with hundreds of album credits as performer, composer, and producer across a variety of genres including jazz, rock, hardcore, classical, surf, metal, klezmer, soundtrack, ambient and improvised music. He incorporates diverse styles in his compositions which he identifies as avant-garde or experimental. Zorn was described by Down Beat as "one of our most important composers".
Zorn established himself within the New York City downtown music movement in the mid-1970s performing with musicians across the sonic spectrum and developing experimental methods of composing new music. After releasing albums on several independent US and European labels, Zorn signed with Elektra Nonesuch and received wide acclaim with the release of The Big Gundown, an album reworking the compositions of Ennio Morricone. He attracted further attention worldwide with the release of Spillane in 1987, and Naked City in 1989. After spending almost a decade travelling between Japan and the US he made New York his permanent base and established his own record label, Tzadik, in the mid-1990s.
Mount Analogue: A Novel of Symbolically Authentic Non-Euclidean Adventures in Mountain Climbing is a classic novel by the early 20th century, French novelist René Daumal.
The novel is both bizarre and allegorical, detailing the discovery and ascent of a mountain, the Mount Analogue of the title, which can only be perceived by realising that one has travelled further in traversing it than one would by travelling in a straight line, and can only be viewed from a particular point when the sun's rays hit the earth at a certain angle.
"Its summit must be inaccessible, but its base accessible to human beings as nature made them. It must be unique and it must exist geographically. The door to the invisible must be visible."
Daumal died before the novel was completed, providing an uncanny one-way quality to the journey. The leader of the expedition - "Father Sogol" is the "Logos" spelled backwards. In other words, the leader of the expedition to climb the mysterious mountain that unites Heaven and Earth is the Logos.

Continuing in the tradition of his popular album 'The Gift', Zorn again combines a lifetime of musical passions—world music, movie soundtracks, jazz, minimalism, exotica, funk, surf rock and more—to create a vibrant and multifaceted album of instrumental fairy tales.

JOHN ZORN'S MUSIC INTERPRETED NEW CHOREOGRAPHY BY DONALD BYRD AND PAM TANOWITZ On Sun and Mon, Feb 27 and 28, 2011 at 7:30 pm Works & Process at the Guggenheim presents newly commissioned works by choreographers Donald Byrd and Pam Tanowitz, set to the music of composer John Zorn. Byrd, known for his beautiful yet volatile work, will choreograph a piece with his Seattle-based company Spectrum Dance Theater set to Zorn's ∴ played by pianist Stephen Drury. Tanowitz, known for her unflinchingly postmodern treatment of classical dance, sets a work to Zorn's Femina, written as a tribute to the rich legacy of women in the arts. Working with seasoned dancers, including Ashley Tuttle, Tanowitz draws from the sensuality, spontaneity, and fantastical imagination of the Romantic ballets for this ne...
For well over 20 years pianist John Medeski has been part of the trio Medeski, Martin and Wood and raised the bar on jazz and funk. The Fort Lauderdale, Florida native got his start playing classical piano and segued to jazz and funk into his teens. Over the years he's backed and performed with the likes of Robert Randolph, John Scofield, Iggy Pop, John Laurie and John Zorn. In his long career he just recorded his debut solo CD "A Different Time" on the newly revived Okeh Records label. Instead of playing his famous Steinway piano, he played a Gaveau, an older style kind of pre-piano used before the piano became a staple in classical music. The new recording is a solo piano project in which John dives into his original compositions as well as spirituals and country music. This is the fir...
Two of Henry Hills' best known pieces are shown in this Roulette TV video. "Money" is a jazzy, rhythmically-edited montage built of speech and poetic fragments, single words, sighs, and other on-the-street exclamations from many artists, intercut with pointed musical and dance gestures. Added together, these accents ("maybe 5000 cuts") form a stunning essay on capitalist anxieties. "Little Lieutenant" is a dance/music video to music by John Zorn, a sequence of live movements against rear-screen projection evoking a pre-WWII mythos: drunken bar scenes, wild cartoonish fantasies, stealthy night and spy moves, bombing and the eventual armed conflict.

In her interview, Mori discusses her creative use of drum machines and computers, her albums "100 Aspects of the Moon", and "Ventriloquist in Ghost Chamber", and her liberation through making music in the States. Ikue Mori began her musical activity playing drums with the seminal DNA band (with Arto Lindsay and Tim Wright) in the late 70Ìs, and developed her unique methods of performing improvisations with drum machines which eventually led to her creative uses of the laptop computer.

Feldmanís Roulette TV performance consists of a series of solos of stunning virtuosity built of flying arpeggios, and lyrical and inquisitive passages and dialogues. The first three (an improvisation, "For Spiker" and "Elegy") contrast unremitting, demanding, high-energy characters with gently persuasive statements. Feldman employs several unusual playing techniques such as circular bowing, harmonics combined with pizzicati, and the use of highly expressive degrees of vibrato. The last piece, "Colisto", is a very moving set of variations on a plaintive melody. In his post-performance interview, Feldman explains the Nashville numbering system for harmonic progressions, remembers playing bebop on New York streets, and discusses new music. The career of composer and violin virtuoso Mark Feld...

http://www.nbcnewyork.com/video/#!/blogs/nonstop-sound/Peter-Whitehead--Anything-You-Want-to-Do-Is-Going-to-Work-Eventually/170428056 English-born San Francisco-based visual artist, instrument builder and composer Peter Whitehead carries himself with the Zen-like air of an all-knowing philosopher. He performed what can only be called an enigmatic and eclectic set at John Zorn's venue, The Stone, in the East Village, captivating audiences with his handmade instruments and improvisations.
This videotape captures their unique live multi-projection visual improvisation performance, an "expanded cinema" collaboration to the music of composer John Zorn's "Godard". Utilizing Jean-Luc Godard's classic film "Contempt" as a constant element, Troyano and Hughes-Freeland overlay slides of that comment upon and extend the imagery of the film, creating meta-texts and sub-texts that excite subjective responses. The duo subtly manipulate colored gels, guide crossfades with their hands, and "play" their assembly of equipment. In their post-performance interview, Troyano and Hughes-Freeland outline the development of the expanded cinema concept, discuss the influence of aleatoric procedures leading toward "happy accidents" in their live performances, and compare the notion of the "voyeuris...
StaleyÌs virtuoso performance on this videotape opens with a fiery bravura passage on trombone that includes growling and splattered tones and spectacularly rapid bursts of tones. By way of contrast, Staley then creates sweet and often humorous high register and pedal tones that are given speech-like inflections through subtle hand manipulations of the mute. A didjeridoo solo (on an instrument with exquisitely ornamented designs) follows. Staley exhibits a splendid circular breathing technique as he evokes meditative overtone sweeps from the low droning fundamental. StaleyÌs final trombone solo quickly unfolds an astonishing number and mastery of new expressive techniques including multiple tone-within-tone tonguings, beat frequency modulations, fast angular register skips, and the shaping...

Continuing in the tradition of his popular album 'The Gift', Zorn again combines a lifetime of musical passions—world music, movie soundtracks, jazz, minimalism, exotica, funk, surf rock and more—to create a vibrant and multifaceted album of instrumental fairy tales.

John Zorn Part 1 Bookshelf On Top Of The Sky 12 Stories About John Zorn
No one knows better than the king
Life's a filthy dirty game
Very very hard to win
No one knows better than the king
How to disregard the pain
Never, never let it in
No one knows better than the king
That an angry man goes blind
Knocks his head against the wall
No one knows better than the king
How it hurts a man to fight
That he's human after all
No one knows better than the king
What a desperate man may do
When it gets too hard to bear
No one knows better than the king
How to spit on the taboos
As they thought he'd never dare
No one knew better than the king
How to care for number one
How to take and never give
No one knew better than the king
That when all is said and done
That's the only way to live
No one knew better than the king
Just how angry you can be
When they cage you in with laws
No one knew better than the king
That a man who thinks he's free
knocks his head against a wall
No one knew better than the king
Just how bitter it would be
To be beaten after all
No one knew better than the king
They're the ones who fix the game
They're the ones with loaded dice
No one knew better than the king
That they'd get him all the same
