johnzorn.html Japanese performers play six interpretations of the piece "Cobra", which was composed by Zorn in 1984. John Zorn, Title: John Zorn's Cobra, Tokyo Operations '94, Label: Avant The piece itself has a start/stop structure, where rapid, total assault sections (like most of Zorn's Naked City work) alternate with quieter sections (vaugely like snake-charmer music). kzsu.stanford.edu /~doom/Reviews/johnzorn.html   (292 words)

FAQ for the John Zorn Mailing List In later game pieces, like Cobra (the most recorded and performed of Zorn's game pieces), the rules are more open (there is, for example, no attempt at having all possible combinations of players perform together, and there is no notated material) and the ways in which performers can interupt the proceedings are more elaborate. An album of JOHN ZORN's eclectic arrangements of some of the most important, and often overlooked compositions of the 20th century. The CAAAV (Committee Against Anti-Asian Violence) targeted Zorn because of the graphic design of two of his records: TORTURE GARDEN and LENG TCH'E. They believed that these images were giving a degrading image of Asian people. www.browbeat.com /zornlist/faq.html   (1813 words)

John Zorn's Game Pieces ZORN: Xu Feng was written right after Cobra and was quite a departure in many respects, in a sense moving from abstract to concrete, theoretical to practical. Zorn has a real passion for improvised music, but these albums are his least accessible. Rock and roll is based of repetition, so if Zorn wanted to use rock and roll as an inspiration for harcore improv, he could have made sure each song repeated the same piece of spontaeous music once the band locked in. www.omnology.com /zorn05.html   (2414 words)

BBC - Experimental Review - John Zorn, Cobra Cobra is probably the most celebrated of John Zorn's 'game' pieces (the lineage also includes Rugby, Archery and Lacrosse). Zorn guides a large and diverse improvising ensemble via cards indicating style, speed of delivery and so on, thereby getting a credit as 'prompter'.This kind of directed improvisation has its roots in the work of John Cage and Stockhausen, but Zorn's aesthetic is different. Purists may insist that Zorn's aesthetic is a superficial one, reliant on the quick fix and post modernist pileup; the new music equivalent of the fart gag. www.bbc.co.uk /music/experimental/reviews/zorn_cobra.shtml   (590 words)

fUSION Anomaly. John Zorn One extension of this idea to its extreme can be found in any performance of John Zorn's jazz game "Cobra," wherein pieces are created by improvising on a group of rhythmic and tonal elements; the order, development, and specific character of each piece is determined by a series of cue cards and hand gestures. It's absolutely hysterical to watch, and unlike most of the Zorn catalog, it often veers dangerously close to tonality. Karlheinz Stockhausen, György Ligeti and a few others have played with it; they use composed fragments that the performer can permute in different orders. fusionanomaly.net /johnzorn.html   (387 words)

The LAB Cobra, Zorn's best known "game piece", codifies just about every aspect of free improvisation through a complex set of rules detailing the use of colored cue cards, headbands, intricate hand signals, and other indicators. Composer, performer, one of the foremost sound designers on the West Coast, the mad genius of David Slusser has enhanced the films of David Lynch, George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola and the music of Angelo Badalamenti, Mike Patton, and John Zorn; whom he's been associated with since the mid-eighties. Wielding a pluralistic approach and often using recordings of pop songs to evoke meaning in his compositions, Ben Piekut’s music explores the mechanics of established patterns of listening, turning the audience/composer paradigm on its ear. www.thelab.org /archive02/soundlab.htm   (648 words)

AUGUST 2004 Rounding off the "Ives and Consequences" series was John Zorn, directing a group of twelve local and international musicians in a performance of the most celebrated of his game pieces, "Cobra". Zorn's game pieces allow musicians the freedom to play and improvise but within a structure provided by the "composition", in which Zorn is credited as "prompter". In summary, the most interesting elements of this CD are the opening two tracks on tabletop guitar, which suggest that Gburek has much to contribute to the most advanced currents of contemporary improvised music. www.paristransatlantic.com /magazine/monthly2004/08aug_text.html   (648 words)
