A selection from the 'Trilogy' series of paintings

EtkilendikleriAssociative listening (the association of sound related to life experiences)
Neye Benziyor?I really don't know ... reviewers have mentioned the following, which might give a clue to those that care about such things, and no doubt some will agree and some will disagree with the comparisons:
Nurse With Wound, AMM, Morphogenesis, Iannis Xenakis, Edgard Varèse, Lustmord, Boris Murashkin, John Ireland, John Everall, Dumitrescu

Audio Drudge. (USA ~ Jason Mantis ...a dazzling palette of sounds that combust and converge like broad brush strokes from a thousand blended colours.

Tans der Rosen. (Belgium) ~ Qa’Taari. ...Bowers breaks with all that is academic and conventional….. a composition of great intrinsic value and extraordinary beauty.

e/i. (USA) ~ Darren Bergstein ...All spiritualized essence and pagan ritual aside, this long, single track disc is a well-crafted work of electronically-realized, Wagnerian intensity.

Eskhatos. (USA) ~ Ares Solis. ...Bowers controls and contorts his medium while using the listener’s own insecurities as instruments in this epic oeuvre.

EB. (Germany) ~ Yvonne Brogi. ...like a radical work of modern literature, Bowers connects avant-garde, new music, ambient, in an impressive montage of acoustic snapshots.

Stride. (UK) ~ Norman Jope. ...Bowers has come up with something fresh and listenable….. The complexity of this composition defeats a verbal paraphrase….

Audion. (UK) ~ Alan Freeman ...Extraordinary, powerful and strange music this….. but more than that, this is an unfocused and compelling work.

Deep Listenings. (Italy) ~ Gianluigi Gasparetti ...this is a powerful work…. This innovative music cannot be compartmentalised, a fascinating experimental composition; in fact a classic.

Transgression:

The Wire. (UK) ~ John Everall ...In constructing his spellbinding music, Bowers utilises conventional instrumentation in a wonderfully unconventional way……something very special and undeniably magical.

Avant. (UK) ~ Richard Cochrane ...Surrealism is indeed, Bowers' modus operandi… Transgression is a work which repays close listening…

Fourth Dimension. (UK) ~ Richo ...there's an energy behind Bowers' music that, succeeds in sucking the life out of the many genres responsible for it.

Quick Edge Music. (UK) ~ Mark Porter ...the different elements come to the fore with varying degrees of intensity, thereby leading to a multitude of listening experiences.

Eternal Ghosts:

Audion. (UK) ~ Alan Freeman ...challenging it is, but it amounts to rock aesthetics laid against dissonance, resulting in an abstract musical/sonic piece of art.

Quick Edge Music. (UK) ~ John Rafferty ...This really is powerful…thought provoking…material which warrants careful study...set aside an hour and let Bowers work his magic on you.

The Wire. (UK) ~ Julian Cowley ...it is the persistence of this work, its monolithic aspect…that makes it effective…as evocations of the uncanny…it has unquestionable power.

Pilgrim:

Avant. (UK) ~ John Rafferty ...I would urge anyone to lay their hands on a copy of this CD… an experience not to be missed.

The Wire. (UK) ~ Julian Cowley ...each new recording confirms the distinctiveness of Bowers’ musical vision… qualities that make Pilgrim such a pleasurably uncanny experience.

Audion. (UK) ~ Alan Freeman ...Another conceptual opus…I won’t go into Graham’s enigmatic ideas…on this being a prelude to…‘Pilgrim’s Progress’…this is really his free-jazz album.

Myspace Layout Generator

Graham Bowers approach to musical composition developed out of his life long fascination with associative listening (the association of sound related to life experiences) and evolved into a genre of music which he describes as "Sound Theatre".
After many years of writing sound scores for contemporary dance, mime and experimental theatre performances, his debut album, "Of Mary's Blood" was released on the Red Wharf label.

The first in a trilogy, "Of Mary's Blood" combined classical, progressive and experimental music. Produced and recorded with Peter B Gallagher, with musical contributions from Mark J Porter, it received critical acclaim from the international music press (The Wire, Audion, Mouvement-Nouveau) as did all of his subsequent releases.
It was followed by "Transgression", and the trilogy finished with "Eternal Ghosts", featuring musical contributions from Tim Franks, Peter B Gallagher, Mark J Porter, Jim Keddie, and William Henshall.

After an absence due to a serious accident, Graham Bowers wrote and recorded several sound scores for fine art animation films, in collaboration with film-maker Clive Walley; these included an MTV ident and a series of Short Shorts for the British television channel S4C.
He has also produced two short experimental films both of which have been shown at international film festivals.

Sculpting has resulted in private and public commissions (St. Davids Hall, the national concert theatre of Wales, The Space at Dundee) and the creation and realisation of animatronic characters for a television series in collaboration with the writer and creator of The Bradshaws, Buzz Hawkins.
Bowers finally returned to his own full length conceptual compositions of "Sound Theatre" with "Pilgrim".

The musical works have been played and written about extensively in recent years, receiving extended half-hour and two-hour air-play features on national and regional radio stations in the UK, Holland, Germany, Australia and the USA.

Dear friends, I am playing a free gig at the beauteous Union Chapel, Islington this Saturday. The sunlight will be streaming through its vaulted windows as Blank Canvas and Arctic Circle present this gig during the blessed daylight hours of 12-2. And yea shall it's hallowed interior be filled with all manner of scraping, wailing and gnashing of teeth. Let us pray. And then let us go to the pub.

Have a great weekend!  Make it a productive one!
 
Remember...
Let your love flow outward through the universe,
To its height, its depth, its broad extent,
A limitless love, without hatred or enmity.
Then as you stand or walk,
Sit or lie down,
As long as you are awake,
Strive for this with a one-pointed mind;
Your life will bring heaven to earth.

- The Buddha

Graham,

Welcome to my world! Things have been busy in the Bunker!

As you know, I write music reviews about any kind of music I can feel. The latest one is called "Avant Jazz Hip Hop Genius" and it's about a great jazz ensemble with Napoleon Maddox laying down the rhymes. They have converted me to hip hop with words and music that give me hope for the world.
My review of "NuTakes" by IsWhat?! is linked to this sentence. (Click the words to read the review.) The latest reviews include music by composer Terry Riley, Appalachian folk back by a band from Uzbekistan called Cedar Hill Refugees, songriter Clare Means, The Sundresses, and Jadoo from Uzbekistan with Ron Miles, Alan Pasqua and other American artists adding a little American jazz. I hope you find some music to help you celebrate the day.


"I've never understood a sing bar of music in my life, but I've felt it.
"
~ Igor Stravinsky

Thank you for being my friend.

Dear Graham,
I've just been listening to 'Which is to come' and 'by thought' - it prompted me to put on your cd, great stuff.
Chat soon.
