During those last years Nick have posted many great music from Canada. Check his post of the artists jazz band, C.C.M.C, the records from the music gallery editions or the french side of the avant garde like Yves Bouliane etc. You will find many goodies. I thought that this year it could be my turn to celebrate the Canada day to thank him and to continue the series with this cd that features probably one of the guiding light of the Canadian avant garde: Michael Snow.
Visual artist but also musician who plays piano and synthesiser, Snow is an important name in electro acoustic music. he is one of the founding members of CCMC and beside his avant garde playing he have a vaste knowledge of the jazz that you can easily notice if you listen carefully his solo where he can bring some reminiscence of the tradition in an avant garde environment.
Jack Vorvis is less famous, he have been briefly member of CCMC and you can hear him on the excellent « decisive moments, hot real-time electro-acoustic collective composition », unfortunately his discography is very small.
