Description
Derek Bailey "Domestic & Public Pieces - Solo Guitar Improvisations (1975-6)" LP issued by Quark Records & Books (9999) in USA, 1979. ****** Rec:m / Cov:m (still sealed) ****** Rare record of Bailey solo guitar improvisations from 1975-76. Record still sealed, never played mint conditions! The best copy you can ever find! The 5 domestic pieces feature mostly Derek Bailey work on six-string acoustic guitar. They are delicate examples of his unique technique and aesthetics. He sometimes talks while playing, commenting on the demise of "Unity Theatre," where the London Musicians' Collective used to produce concerts. The sound quality falls down a notch on the 5 public pieces. Here, Bailey works mostly with his amplified guitar with dual volume pedals. The way he throws notes around, fades them in, and cuts them out adds to his alienating vision, and illustrates the level of virtuosity he had reached. "Third" and "Fourth" represent a break in that night's performance, featuring his 19-string guitar along with amplified thundersheet and a crackle box (Michael Waisvisz' hand-held electronic device) passed around in the audience. "Third" is particularly painful: controlled and uncontrolled feedback marred the performance. A tape recorder suddenly starts playing from out of nowhere, prompting Bailey to play (you won't believe this) chords! This one is horribly recorded but turns out quite funny. "Domestic & Public Pieces" is a good document of the guitarist's solo activity in the 1970s. Essential Bailey Drama & Light Entertainment. ****** Still sealed! ****** Please wait to receive my invoice before sending the payment after the auction ends. Attention!
