Recorded:
live on March 16, 2003 at the Beta Lounge in San Francisco
In
1967, San Francisco’s Fifty
Foot Hose were certainly one of the innovators of a sound that
took Psychedelia to new heights and was captured on the band’s one
record, Cauldron. They are a totally unique hybrid—on one
hand pulsating bay area acid rock, on the other, fractured electronic
freakery, becoming one whole cohesive being. The sci-fi-ish video
game-like artwork hinted at the sounds within, as did the Limelight
label’s pedigree for truly progressive sounds. Band leader, Cork
Marcheschi, used homemade electronic devices to create crude and
experimental soundscapes and instrumental compositions that were
sprinkled throughout the album.
Often starting shows with a
swelling rumble that exploded into the first song, they soon
developed a rabid following on the SF scene, though there was the
occasional totally wrong gig, like when a very-pregnant Nancy had to
perform at a Catholic Girls’ school! Still, the group wowed the
crowds, performing with greats like Chuck
Berry and Fairport
Convention.
“ To excite and exalt our sensibilities, music developed towards the most complex poluphony and the maximum variety, seeking the most complicated successions of dissonant chords and vaguely preparino the creation of musical noise”.
pas tout a fait dans ton univers artistique mais je pense que sur le fond on est d'accord j'aime ton travail bien plus sobre est posé et je pense que cette mixité entre ton univers poetique et mon univers tres terre à terre a un cote enrichissant
