About Me |
|
John ZornDrawing on his experience in a variety of genres including jazz, rock, hardcore punk, classical, klezmer, film, cartoon, popular and improvised music, John Zorn has created an influential body of work that defies academic categories. A native of New York City, he has been a central figure in the downtown scene since 1975, incorporating a wide range of musicians in various compositional formats. He learned alchemical synthesis from Harry Smith, structural ontology with Richard Foreman, how to make art out of garbage with Jack Smith, cathartic expression at Sluggs and hermetic intuition from Joseph Cornell. Early inspirations include American innovators Ives, Varese, Cage, Carter and Partch, the European tradition of Berg, Stravinsky, Boulez and Kagel, soundtrack composers Herrmann, Morricone and Stalling as well as avant-garde theater, film, art and literature.The Stone- A New Artists' Space in the East Village (artistic director John Zorn)THE STONE is a not-for-profit performance space dedicated to the experimental and avant-garde. All expenses are paid for by the MUSIC itself—through the online sale of Special Edition CDs released yearly on the Tzadik label. Each month a different musician is responsible for curating the programs with 100% of the nightly revenue going directly to the musicians. There are no refreshments or merchandise at The Stone. Only music. All ages are welcome.--The Stone is located at the corner of Avenue C and Second Street Music — Tuesday thru Sunday at 8 and 10PM-- Closed on Mondays www.theSTONEnyc.com Caveat Emptor! Let the buyer beware...More and more Tzadik bootlegs (mostly made in Russia and Eastern Europe) are appearing on Ebay and finding their way into CD shops.Please do not support these criminals by puchasing inferior Tzadik bootlegs. Help keep new music alive by buying only official Tzadik merchandise. Thank You! -- John Zorn and the folks at TZADIK This profile is NOT operated by John Zorn.Any questions or comments concerning this profile should be sent to Jon LeMay in the profile's top friends. |
