Greetings,

In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever <http://furious.com/perfect/index1020.html>, you'll find (among other things):


BRIAN ENO
Can you orchestrate ambient music?
article by Daniel Barbiero
"The problem that Jerry Pergolesi faced consisted in finding a way of translating the inputs and operations of Eno's original simple-melodies-and-looping mechanism into specific, scored gestures for Contact's musicians. The means Pergolesi chose for
doing so involved constructing an ingenious, open-ended and genuinely indeterminate system that worked through a set of rules that would allow the individual musicians a significant degree of choice over what they could play at any given time."


DAVID TOOP
Of experiments, writings, compilations
interview by John Wisniewski
"It's not easy being a polymath. Musician/composer/author/ethnomusicologist/educator David Toop is proof of that. Since we last spoke to him in a 1997 interview, he's come out with several books, including Sinister Resonance, Into the Maelstrom , Flutter
Echo and Inflamed Invisible: Writing On Art and Sound 1976-2018. For albums, he's since released Sound Body on David Sylvian's Samadhisound label, Entities Inertias Faint Beings, Apparition Paintings and Field recording and Fox Spirits. That's not even
mentioning his recent collaborations include Rie Nakajima, Akio Suzuki, Tania Caroline Chen, John Butcher, Ken Ikeda, Elaine Mitchener, Henry Grimes, Sharon Gal, Camille Norment, Sidsel Endresen, Alasdair Roberts, Fred Frith, Thurston Moore, Ryuichi
Sakamoto."
