AIRWAY / LIVE AT LACE LAFMS: VC-4916 Japan Edition
The legendary “LIVE AT LACE” concert, featuring the LAFMS “supergroup” Airway (Joe & Rick Potts, Tom Recchion, Chip Chapman, Dennis Duck, Vetza) ...
With it’s roots in a 1977 eponymous ep by joe potts (based around processes of vetza’s voice), airway had, by 1978, evolved into a fully fledged “noise orchestra” consisting of most of the lafms key players & hangers on ... for this concert (at the still-active los angeles conemporary exhibitions space) the 6-strong crew played an array of “traditional” instruments (drums, bass, mandolin, saxophone), the sum total of which was run through a device built by chip chapman that rendered the sound into a gritty flange of distortions, not unlike contemporary bit-reduction techniques (although assuredly done in the analog domain ; audio input as control voltage, ala moog’s recent “freqbox”) ...listening to the chaos that ensues pretty much straight-out-the-gate, it’s easy to see how profound an effect this lp had not just on the burgeoning japanese noise scene (keiji haino himself even went so far as to travel to l.a. to track these guys down in 1982 - there’s a great psf disc of this collaboration that we’ll have ... some day) but on the 30+ years of countless noise-rock and freak-out acts that have eloped from greener pastures in the interim ...easily one of the top 5 “historical noise” documents ; this Japan edition comes as a b/w paste-on jacket.
"AIRWAY is a brainchild of Joe Potts. Here are COMMANDMENTS OF AIRWAY: AIRWAY is a hole through which our conscious passes. Sound of AIRWAY is not an object. Sound of AIRWAY has no fixed location. Sound of AIRWAY has no fixed location. Sound of AIRWAY has no fixed meaning. Sound of AIRWAY has no dimensions. Meaning and dimensions of AIRWAY sound constantly change in relation to the universe inside and outside listeners. Sound of AIRWAY has no fixed time. The "flow of time" in AIRWAY sound is psychological not physical. Sound of AIRWAY is a representation of the 'whole' of sound existing inside and outside us. Because all sound of AIRWAY is interrelated, there is no such thing as innovative sound at AIRWAY performance. Sound of AIRWAY is an unfolded manifestation of hidden (enfolded) universe, consisting of all sound which will ever exist and has ever consisted inside and outside us."
