Jazzthing

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Simon Hall's Jazzthing. Jazzthing attempts to fuse some of the elements of jazz - the rhythmic vitality, the instrumentation, the freer forms of contemporary jazz music - with more abstract soundworlds and developed, highly processed material from the electroacoustic genre. The piece integrates sound objects with clearly identifiable extrinsic links with those that essentially transcend this, as well as, in time-honored jazz tradition, featuring quotations - both musical and vocal, obvious and occluded. During its course, Jazzthing moves from fast-moving, exhilarating textures to reflective, pensive soundworlds to pulsed, driving, rhythms. The sources for this piece, including the musical quotes and a couple of the spoken quotes, were performed by the composer and a number of their musician colleagues who kindly allowed the composer to "pinch" bits of their performances following recording sessions produced for release elsewhere. A couple of the vocal quotes and smallest sound objects come from jazz LPs and sample CDs. Much material has undergone significant transformation, notably by techniques of time manipulation and the cross-synthesis of sounds. Musical quotes include material from Weather Report's Birdland, Herbie Hancock's Cantaloupe Island, and Bob James' Theme from Taxi.
