One of the most riveting things about Maarten Altena 's Code ensemble is in the first track, "Principia" -- vocalist Jannie Pranger 's sings her verses as if she were singing an inside-out version of the song "Downtown" by Petula Clark.
Altena's been involved for a decade with systems of "code" and his new ensemble here reveals how many different sides of it he is willing to explore.
But while Altena's investigations may be serious, his presentation isn't so dour that the listener cannot be entertained as well as musically engaged in the group's findings.

 EMANEM 4036: RUSSELL/ALTENA/DAY
Altena and Day both go back, in their respective countries, to the early days of free improvisation in the 1960s.
With bow in hand, Altena scrapes, scratches and sings his way through these improvisations with a sense of urgency; wrestling with Russell's skewed guitar lines and the omnipresent chatter of Day's percussive volleys, or serving up temperamental patterns that jolt the trio in another direction.
A rare appearance by Dutch bassist Maarten Altena (who doubles on cello) is particularly attractive, and the two strings are perhaps a precursor to some of the recordings made by Dominic Duval and others in the 1990s.

 The History of Jazz Music. Maarten Altena: biography, discography, review, links   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Dutch bassist Maarten Altena (1943), one of Willem Breuker's trusted collaborators from 1969 till 1973 and a member of Derek Bailey's Company from 1976 till 1977, revealed his dadaist spirit with the solo albums Handicaps (july 1973), played with a broken wrist, and Tuning The Bass (may 1975).
The rhythm-less chamber approach was further radicalized by Tel (october 1982) that inaugurated the octet: bassoon (Lindsay Cooper), trumpet (Kenny Wheeler), trombone (Wolter Wierbos), oboe (Sauer), alto saxophone (Termos), violin (Maartje ten Hoorn), piano (Guus Janssen) and bass (Altena).
Altena progressively distanced himself from free improvisation and rediscovered composition, melody and the song format, becoming a sophisticated composer of the trans-avantgarde.

Schwiesow has said Altena's demotion was the result of a sullen attitude and other job-related problems.
