The History of Unheard Music
hail from lower Manhattan and were founded at the absolute dawn of the 1980s. The founders,
Books Williams
,
Charlie Mendoza
, and
Beo Morales
combined their individual and common interests in music from all periods of all cultures, active analytic listening, state-of-the-art music technology and low-tech devices. These interests were applied to highly developed composition and raw free-form improvisation. Access to the then-nascent computer aided compositional tools of sampling and synthesis, pre-and-post MIDI sequencing and a fearless appetite for sound-as-event, synthesizing historical styles, formats, sonic triggers, and traditions allowed them to strike a nerve in the listener resulting in responses ranging from confusion and bewilderment to appreciation and inspiration and beyond. A neutral response to the music or the live performances was not an option. Here is an unheard selection of some works of that mind-boggling New York band. All tracks selected from the '84-'85 hidden tapes and LPs:
History of Unheard Music
on Staatplat,
Drop it
on Harmonic Ranch, and
Chapter One
on Rockgarage Records. Music that ranges exclusively in the absurd. Art-rock, grotesque comedian pop, bouncing sounds from post-world influences and electronic proto dance music, pure avant-garde.
Here Us Again for Whatever Reason
touches hidden chords in a decomposed and critical message towards a dimensional state of total disorientation against the established order.
