PD 002CD
Third full length release by this London improv collective, following previous albums for Pogus and Streamline. A 7-piece group (including Michael Prime, Roger Sutherland, Clive Graham, etc.), they produce live improvisatory sound from an unspecified array of instruments and live electronics. Lurking in the AMM/Organum school of output, this is beautifully flowing contemporary experimentalism. Limited stock.

"This is the fifth CD release by Morphogenesis, and the first since 1998. Although Morphogenesis do not play live very often, it is certainly our preferred working situation, where the interaction between the space, the people present and the available equipment create a variety of different situations. Substantial extracts from nearly all of our recent concerts appear on this, and a second volume, soon to be released. There is also the inclusion of one studio recording per CD. Perhaps one reason for our infrequent appearances is due to the size of the group, which usually varies from between 4 to 6 people all of whom have been working together for 10 - 15 years. This in itself is an unusual situation within experimental music. Another increasingly rare feature is that we have never used laptops or samplers, and although a prerecorded CD was used on the Spitz concert it was played through a varispeed DJ CD player. Prerecorded analogue tape is also used by manually inching the tape past the playback head. All other instrumentation (amplified objects, piano, biofeedback, water machine, percussion etc) is played and processed completely live. This release comes in an 8 page digipak. Volume 2 will be likewise, and the total playing time of both volumes is just under 2 and a half hours."

"Like Volume 1, this CD also contains excerpts from 3 concerts (all in London this time) and a studio piece. Morphogenesis play a few concerts a year, almost always in London. In fact we have only ever played outside the UK twice. Concerts have always yielded our most varied material, but until now our CD's have mainly documented our studio work. Both volumes of
In Streams
redress this. Of the concerts; one is a whole piece from the Spitz concert organised by Eddie Prévost, then there is a short extract from the Red Rose which has a ominous feel to it that is only partially due to the hostile audience. Finally there is the whole of our Sonic Youth support gig at the Shepherds Bush Empire which also has some interesting audience reactions -- the initial cheer of approval on this piece was not because we had finally started, but rather due to a well aimed missile from the front row. This release comes in similar packaging as Volume 1."
