From now on, please write to: <CALYX@club-internet.fr> CALYX is now located at: http://perso.club-internet.fr/calyx The Canterbury Discography is now located at: http://perso.club-internet.fr/calyx/cantdisco The site has undergone an extensive redesign and is hopefully easier to browse around. Suggestions welcome, as always! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- AN INTERVIEW WITH THEO TRAVIS ABOUT THE NEW GONG ALBUM "ZERO TO INFINITY" Q: Collective credits suggest that the creative process which led to the new music was very much based on group jamming and sharing of ideas. Can you shed some light on this? Under what circumstances was the new material generated? In your case, did you bring ideas you had created on your own? A: Much of the music did originate in jamming. We had several days of just playing in a rehearsal studio jamming and trying out different musical ideas. We recorded these on walkmans and went away to see which bits we liked. When we met up again, we jammed more and worked on bits of previous jams we liked. Everything was pretty open. We actually continued the jamming whilst recording and Infinitea and parts of The Invisible Temple were spontaneous jams in the studio. There were some pieces that were largely pre-prepared. Foolfare was a melody line Daevid already had. I just added sax harmonies. Magdalene was very much Didier's melody and idea, that was fleshed out by Mike and Chris‚ groove and Daevid's vocal ideas. Tali's Song was already a finished song. Yoni on Mars was a piece I had written and recorded as an instrumental prior to my involvement with Gong. I thought it would work well with what Gilli does, so I offered it for the album and the band liked it. Gilli came up with some good ideas for it and it ended up how you hear it... Q: Didier only plays on the first three tracks on the album, after which you take centre stage. This suggests you're taking over from Didier on a more or less permanent basis. However there's some nice interaction on those tracks and it was nice hearing you both on the Nancy gig. I understand Didier will still guest on occasion, so are you willing to develop that dual sax thing a little bit further? A: Didier is actually only on tracks 2 and 3. On track 1, I play all four sax parts. Things are flexible as regards Didier and me. On the dates coming up, we are both playing on some gigs and just I'm playing on some. There may be gigs where he plays and I don't. I'll probably be doing more than him this year though. I enjoyed playing with Didier in Nancy and in the studio also. I think he approaches music from a different angle to me, which is interesting for me. He also plays all those great instruments from other cultures like Doudouk etc. Doing the 'dualling banjos' two-sax thing is great fun, and I will enjoy playing with Didier when it happens. Q: Your career so far has been rooted in your jazz activities as a leader,but has always included forays into different genres, notably rock/pop. How does Gong fit into what I would guess you see as a continuous learning process? What aspects of your playing does this particular musical context help to develop? A: Yes my musical activities have been mainly jazz and as band leader, but over the last few years I‚ve involved in more art-rock, progressive, experimental, ambient and free musics. The freeform Marshall Travis Wood album and tour got rave reviews from some progressive music press such as the excellent Expose magazine from the USA. My ambient band Cipher released an album last year which is not jazz. We just got an amazing review in Progression magazine from the US which is quite prog‚ based I understand. Also there's been the tour with Steve Jansen, Mick Karn, Richard Barbieri and Steven Wilson, and the work with Porcupine Tree and Bass Communion etc. It's interesting because before I ever got into jazz, as a young teenager, the music I was heavily into was late Beatles ("Revolver" onwards), early Pink Floyd (up to "Animals"), King Crimson, Yes (up to "Going for the One"), Traffic etc., and now I'm involved in playing music in Gong, that is more closely related to that music than jazz, so its like I‚m going back to my musical roots. Playing with Gong therefore feels very natural to me. I think the musical context probably helps develop my writing / improvising / keyboard playing as much as my sax/flute playing. Also I haven't done that much writing with songwriters in the past. I think there are special skills in co-writing with others in a band situation, and these have been flexed and hopefully developed during the writing / recording of Zero to Infinity. Q: The song "Bodilingus" is said to derive from an original idea by you. Could you further explain the concept of "body language"? A: Yes. That track came from a groove idea Mike and I had. We recorded the rhythm track and Daevid tried different lyric ideas and general concepts for the song. It wasn't really happening, so I went home and demo'd a complete song based on the rhythm track, with a specific lyric idea, vocals and a chorus with certain harmonies etc. The lyric idea was the language of the body through different parts/limbs/organs etc connecting each part of the body with a different form of expression eg knees are knocking, shoulders are shouting etc I knew Daevid could do a great performance with that sort of idea and his slightly crazed wizard type delivery. Daevid was generously receptive to my idea and went away and wrote the verse lyrics, which I must say I think are really great ˆ my favourite of Daevid‚s on the album. He can be a very funny chap! The chorus is as on my demo. Q: In Gong you are primarily an instrumentalist and in this respect you could see Gong as just a band in which you enjoy playing. But Gong is often more than that to the musicians who play in it. There's something beyond the pure musical thing, a spiritual dimension - do you feel in tune with the whole concept of Gong, and how do you perceive it? A: I'm not sure I see Gong as a spiritualistic thing, but I am aware of and do like the fairytale-fantasy-mythology aspect of Gong. Playing to and meeting Gong fans around Europe, I can see how special the band is to so many people. Q: With Daevid the only guitarist in Gong at the moment, the band has alooser harmonic context (especially when Daevid solos). But you make up for that with occasional keyboards. Is that just a necessary thing for you or would you like to investigate the synth aspect a little further? A: I must say I do like Daevid's guitar playing a lot. Not just the Gliss playing (check out Infinitea, Invisible Temple and Damaged man for good examples), but his soloing too - towards the end of Invisible Temple is an amazing guitar solo. As for my keyboards, there's quite a lot on the album and I enjoyed doing that. I'm no soloist on keys, but it is very valuable tool for the writing, and filling in the middle sonic ground between bass and drums at the lower end and vocals/sax/flute at the higher end. If you think of songs as paintings, then I consider that I can add much colour and shape with what I do on keys. The keyboard I used mostly in the studio (Ensoniq EPS 16+ ) is a sampler and workstation, so there is much scope for layering the sound and creating sounds oneself. Harmonically, I like quite jazzy and 'out-there' chords so on Yoni on Mars or Mad Monk there‚s some leftfield wafting going on if you listen carefully! It is something I am interested in developing, but it is hard to play keys and sax at the same time! (but you may remember me doing it on the Nancy gig and in fact I did in the studio on the used takes of Bodilingus and Infinitea). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "vogelaar" <vogelaar@bart.nl> Subject: Richard Sinclair Date: Sun, 12 Mar 2000 09:57:40 +0100 Hi there, Aymeric and others, I just spoke to RICHARD SINCLAIR who lives just a few blocks away. He wants you all to know he and his girlfriend HEATHER are OK. Richard sort of lives here since the Harlingen Canterbury event a few years ago. They seem to like the fresh air here. First of all he would like to thank Aymeric and Manfred and many others for all the good work they have done during the past few years. Very important for the Canterbury music. All the fans, thanks very much for your letters but not all will be answered because Richard is busy doing music in every possible form. At the moment he is composing and playing music and building and modifying bass guitars. He just made me a fretless and I'm very very happy now. It plays and sounds fantastic. Richard and The PLEEGZUSTERS (my band) rehearsed a couple of times together and there is a very nice recorded piece where Richard plays the guitar and even sings a few notes. If someone explains me how to do it I will send a small piece to Aymeric and all the fans can have a musical contact with Richard for a few seconds. If anyone wants to communicate, please use vogelaar@bart.nl. R&H visit meonce or twice a week and I will give them your questions, remarks, stories and wishes. After 3 years of rest (after the Canterbury event) something starts itching again. Richard and I sometimes talk about it, how wonderfull and succesful it was. There are some people who want to sponsor a next event. Perhaps "Whats Rattlin" and all the fans can motivate us to do something like it again.

Steffe guests playing totally over the top wild psychedelic guitar. * * * * * GAS WEBSITE and a bit of a Jonny gush I’m afraid.I hope many of you will have paid a visit to the new website which is coming on in leaps and bounds. We have planned a programme of development which happening weekly but gig and news information will be updated every 3 or 4 days. But there’s still plenty more to do. The site just could not have happened without the simply huge quantities of help, offers of help and goodwill received. Especially deep bowings to the good captain Wes who developed the site, and to his supportive partner Sangeta who coped with all his late nights and the new wee baby at the same time. I can’t thank you all enough. On Monday morning, the day most of the worldwide mailout to everyone on our database arrived, the flood of e-mails, faxes and phone calls was overwhelming. Then on Tuesday the post started arriving. It felt like that line in the Police song Message in a Bottle...a hundred thousand bottles washed up on the shore... There were so many people that were so delighted that we were still here and able to give them the information and links to all the different musicians and their work. The surge of goodwill was almost overwhelmingly touching, I only hope I can communicate a fraction of that to the musicians. Because surprising as it may seem, they really don’t realise the regard and warmth they, and especially the whole concept... whatever that is... is held. Running GAS, like anything, occasionally feels like a thankless task. It has always existed on an often oh too thin shoestring and in the dark times I mull over escape plans. I would leave GAS as I entered it, with nothing much of material worth. But I would leave it full hearted. Because as you demonstrated to me again this week with your response, sent with such good energy, what you put out you get back. It's a pleasure to be part of the path of good energy directed towards you. And any one of you can tune into that good energy, whether you be fan or musician, whenever you want...you know what to do. * * * * * Surrealist Proverb for the month: I came, I sat, I departed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Basil Brooks <Basil.Brooks@policymaster.co.uk> Subject: Gong - Your Planet Needs You!

Here are some excerpts for Canterbury fans. In this newsletter I'm very proud to present a new member of The Artist Shop, Clearlight 888 Music <http://www.artist-shop.com/clearlight> which specializes in the music of keyboardist/composer Cyrille Verdeaux and his ensemble the Clearlight Symphony. And the label will be working towards reissuing more of those classics albums alongside more new albums! Be sure to check this page out! While not from Canterbury himself, he has used a number of Canterbury alumni on his recordings over the years including Steve Hillage, Didier Malherbe and Tim Blake were borrowed from Gong for the very first Clearlight Symphony album. On our Linden Music page <http://www.artist-shop.com/linden> you'll find a new release from Kit Watkins. Kit Watkins/The Unseen - After taking an extended sabbatical from the music business - one that was no doubt deserved, but overly long for us fans - Kit Watkins has finally returned to the business of making music. Kit's new album, The Unseen, is his first release in four years. As we've come to expect from Kit, this album covers a lot of musical territory, effortlessly blending progressive with ambient, world music and many other styles. As an added bonus, The Unseen features not only the CD audio tracks, but all tracks are also available on this disc as mp3 files playable on your computer's CD-Rom drive as well. Voiceprint <http://www.artist-shop.com/voiceprt> continues to keep busy with a number of new releases and reissues including: Julie Tippetts/Sunset Glow - Julie Tippetts is one of the foremost European vocalists in the field of contemporary jazz and improvised music. Her recording and performing career has taken her from the early years of soul/jazz/r&b with Brian Auger in the 1960's to working with some of the world's leading improvising musicians today. This release was recorded in 1974 and features Keith Tippett, Brian Godding, Mark Charig, Elton Dean and Nick Evans. Daevid Allen & Russell Hibbs/Nectans Glen - Australian beatnik Daevid Allen arrived in England in the early sixties. He became a founder member of Soft Machine in 1966 but left the following year after their first classic single Love Makes Sweet Music.Barred from England, he settled in Paris, where he formed the psychedelic space rock collective Gong in 1970. Various incarnations have followed, including Mother Gong, New York Gong and Gongmaison, with Allen working alongside Shimmy Disc boss Kramer for an album called Who's Afraid in 1993.1994 saw Gong reunite for their 25th birthday, at London's Forum. A double live cd was issued from this show. Daevid continues to record and tour as a solo artist and member of Gong, with a European tour confirmed for spring 2000. For Nectans Glen, Daevid is joined by Russell Hibbs of The Invisible Opera Company Of Tibet. The music is not dissimilar to Daevid's albums Good Morning and Now Is The Happiest Time Of Your Life. On our import pre-order page<http://www.artist-shop.com/catalog/imports/preorder.htm> you'll find: NATIONAL HEALTH-NATIONAL HEALTH 180GMOriginally released in 1978 on Affinity.
