Remote Viewers 24 April 2003 Recorded at Bluecoat Arts Centre
This is quite an unusual piece by Frakture’s general level as it uses beats – and even a song. With words. And melody. The Remote Viewers were very good at that. http://www.theremoteviewers.com/ is the place to find out more and more.
Track Length 7.51

FBB with Brigitte Küpper (2004) Recorded at Arena Art Studios
This was recorded at Arena studios as part of 8 Days A Week Liverpool Cologne exchange. The performance was moving round the studios, with Brigitte, Ray Dickaty and Phil Lucking starting in the gallery space, and then moving around the building finding the rest of the Frakture Big Band. On this recording though, some of the FBB weren’t found, as they were hidden away in the very top of the building…
Track length 26.13
Phil Lucking (trumpet), Tim Downey (guitar and effects), Ray Dickaty (sax), Garfield Southall (guitar), Phil Morton (accidents and treatments), Neil Murphy (viola), john Whittington (guitar), Brigite Kupper (voice)
Dunmall Gibbs and Rogers Recorded 28 September 2002 at Bluecoat Arts Centre
This for me was one of the standout gigs over the past 10 years. Dunmall is a renowned horn player and while Gibbs and Rogers are also renowned, but less so (to me). This concert got reviewed and everybody who wasn’t there was rightly scolded by the reviewer because in the words of he what reviewed it - “you missed a good ‘un”. Actually he didn’t say those words, but he DID imply them. Go to http://www.pauldunmall.com/ whilst http://www.mindyourownmusic.co.uk/paul-rogers-interview.htm is the best I could muster for Paul Rogers and Philip Gibbs…

A new composition for the CD, a breaking up of the line three water rays dribble into three round pools from the 24hrs (EAST) set of recordings. Claudia (aka RADIO CONTINENTAL DRIFT) is a listener with a bag who explores how environments may become audible through language.
This was on of the first Frakture gigs I attended. It’s funny as it’s, for me, one of the best examples of the recording not being able to capture of intensity of what was happening in the room of the night. That’s not to say I don’t like the recording, its that for me, it bears very little relation to what I heard/felt on the night. Though, in actuality, this happens a lot. The musicians were predominantly based around London – and regular visitors to Liverpool in numerous different groupings. Adam.

Track taken from the Music for the Williamson Tunnels CD
From the installation Conversations with plants at the University Botanic Gardens in Helsinki (2008), we hear Jussi Lehtonen changing the soil in his plants, humming affectionately and privately as he carefully waters them in the bathroom. Showering the dirt away from the tiled floor afterwards, his short and ritualistic cycle is complete, in the spirit of Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
