Volume 3 Hamburg (Albüm) by Henry Cow

Sanatçı biyografisi Henry Cow

Henry Cow Was An English Avant-Garde Rock Group Founded At Cambridge University In 1968 By Multi-Instrumentalists Fred Frith And Tim Hodgkinson. An Inherent Anti-Commercial Bias Kept Them At Arm's Length From The Mainstream Music Business Enabling Them To Experiment At Will. They Remained In Existence For 10 Years Breaking Up In 1978 And Produced A Body Of Music That Was Challenging Provocative And Influential For Years To Come. Collaborations With The Similarly-Minded Band Slapp Happy Led To An Eventual But Brief Merger Of The Two Bands In 1974 And Demerging In 1975. Cutler Frith And Krause Also Continued On As Art Bears From 1978 As Disagreements Set In And The Band Dissolved. Henry Cow Was Among The Founding Members Of The Movement Dubbed Rock In Opposition RIO . A Number Of People Passed Through Henry Cow Over The Years * Georgie Born - Cello Bass 1976-1978 * Lindsay Cooper - Bassoon Reeds 1974 1975-1978 * Chris Cutler - Drums Percussion 1971-1978 * Fred Frith - Guitar Violin Bass Piano Xylophone 1968-1978 * John Greaves - Bass Piano 1970-1976 * Tim Hodgkinson - Keyboards Reeds 1968 - 1978 * Dagmar Krause - Vocals 1975 - 1978 * Geoff Leigh - Flute Reeds 1972 - 1973 Henry Cow's Repertoire Included Elaborately Scored Pieces Often With Complex Time Signatures Tape Manipulations Free Improvisation And Songs. It Incorporated Elements Of Jazz Rock Classical Music And The Avant-Garde. Dagmar Krause's Vocals Added Another Dimension To Their Sound Giving It A Dramatic Almost Brechtian Flair. Their Music Was Often Experimental Making Classification All But Impossible. However The Following Styles Amongst Others Are Often Associated With Henry Cow * Rock Too General And Therefore Inadequate * Progressive Rock * Art Rock * Avant-Progressive Rock * Avant-Rock * Chamber Rock * Experimental Rock * Free Improvisation Some Of These Styles May Come Closer To Describing Their Music Than Others And Often It Contained Elements Of All Of The Above But In Reality Henry Cow Simply Remains One Of Those Unclassifiable Groups. Henry Cow's Music Was Challenging Not Only To The Listener But Also To The Band Themselves. They Often Composed Pieces To Challenge Their Own Capabilities. Some Of Their Music Was Scored Beyond The Conventional Ranges Of Their Music Instruments Necessitating That They "reinvent Their Instruments" Learn How To Play Them In Completely New Ways. And Yet Their Music May Not Have Been As Good As It Could Have Been. Henry Cow Conducted Their Affairs As A Committee Having Regular Minuted Meetings With No Decisions Being Made Unless Approved By The Group. This Included Their Music. Band Members Brought Their Ideas To The Table But Often They Ended Up Being Watered Down As A Result Of The Collective Process Rather Than Strengthened And Many Of Their Best Ideas May Not Have Been Fully Realised. Who Knows What Henry Cow Might Have Produced Had Individual Members Been Given More Free Reign. While Their Music Is A Decided "acquired Taste" There Is Much To Recommend In It For As It Is Often Dissonant And Challenging It Is Also Rich And Exciting And Yields More Insights Upon Repeated Listening. Henry Cow Reunited In November 2014 To Celebrate The Music Of The Late Lindsay Cooper For Shows In The UK And Italy.
