Morton Feldman/GBSR Duo with Taylor MacLennan — Trios (CD boxset)

The work of Morton Feldman has always stood apart from that of other modern classical composers. He created drifting, ebbing-and-flowing, at times fluidly rhythmic works based around patterns and fleeting meldioes- feeling more akin to either wound-down uneasy-to-forlorn soundtracking, acoustic ambience, or spaced-out & decidedly moody sound crafting. His work is wholly distinctive and unique- meaning you either get it or you don’t. I sit very much in the former camp- with Feldman being my favourite of all classical composers, so when a release with his name appears I’m always keen to hear it. Trios is a six-CD box set bringing together three works for flute, piano, and percussion, taking in one relatively short piece, one ninety-minute piece, and one lasting four hours & forty minutes.

Creative ‘n’ Inventive sleaze- The world of Roman Porno

Jasper Sharp interview

In the year 1971, Nikkatsu, the oldest/ at one point, the biggest film production company in Japan. Did something quite daring/ some would say crazy- they completely switched over their production to softcore adult films, which would become known as Roman Porno. Between 1971 and 1988, the company produced around 850 of these titles. The thing that made these films stand out from general softcore films is the often creative & inventive choices made- yes, the films primal focus is sleaze, but great examples of the genre are so much more than that. In the last year or so, there has been a spate of reissues of films in the genre from labels such as 88 Films, Third Window Films, and Klubb Super 8. One of the key figures/contributors behind these releases is Jasper Sharp- one of the world's experts on the genre, and the wider Pink genre it’s connected to. Jasper kindly agreed to give us an email interview discussing his history with the genre, his contributions to releases, and the new/updated edition of his book Behind The Pink Curtain: The Complete History of Japanese Sex Cinema on Fab Press.
