RE: DAVID TORN'S NEW CD "PREZENS"

["Qua Veda" <qua@oregon.com>]

Can someone explain how David achieves the 'stutter' effect on sustained
notes that are event in the track "Bulbs" at about 2'11" ?    

I won't begin to imagine how he does most of his doppler and other wacky
tricks so seamlessly in these recordings  - jeez !

I picked it up on Tuesday the minute it arrived at the store. Awesome disc,
I've probably listened to ot 20 times since. Very dense material, each tune
seems to flow through many states, yet it all hangs together. Great band as
well, I've been a fan of Tim Berne for about 20 years now. Taborn and 
Rainey
form the core of several of Berne's bands. It's cool to see Torn in a more
band setting with this CD, it seems like most of his output has come more
from Torn solo in the studio, with the exception of Polytown and Cloud 
About
Mercury. I'd argue that this band eclipses both of those for serious
avant-jazz chops.

It's also cool to see Torn on ECM again, maybe this disc will have a chance
of staying in print, unlike, unfortunately, the majority of Torn's back
catalog.

Anyway, it's an amazing, mind-rearranging album, I can't begin to recommend
it highly enough.

Ooops I shoulda changed the subject line on that last one . . .

Here it is again:

Hi all,

Just thought I'd pipe in here and say how much I like David Torn's new CD
"Prezens."

It arrived yesterday and I've been playing it in iTunes at work (much to my
co-worker's dismay).

It's pretty darn terrific . . . grab it if you can.

And, David, wherever you are, great work!

Your music just keeps getting better, weirder, and more creative with every
release.
