(What's this?With electric eels, of course.The flipped text was orchestrated by Portuguese video artist and conceptualist Joao Simoes, while I was in Lisbon making final preparations for the release of this recording.The juxtaposition of two drums, two basses, two mallets, multiple flutes, two cornets, bass clarinet, ARP synthesizer, guitar, trombone, voices and flugelhorn all played important roles in the development of the final sound.The electric eel tanks Mazurek recorded at INPA contain two species of eels, Pulsating and Waveform.The results are fascinating tonal clusters not unlike the sound of violins.Abbaye Royale de Fontevraud in France during my residency there."Visit other CNET Networks sites: Select SiteBNETCHOWCNET.In Collaboration with La Grande Fabrique (Dieppe, France).Bill Dixon with Exploding Star Orchestra.EXCLUSIVE VIDEO INTERVIEW: Rage Against T...
