A Confront Recordings special this week, as we celebrate 20 years of Mark Wastell’s improvised music label with substantial extracts from several recent and upcoming releases (and one unreleased performance).
There are fewer tracks than usual. But these selections go deep, combining spartan melodicism, gritty noise and granular sonic explorations into an unparalleled exercise in focused improvisation. So pull up a cushion and switch your ears on.
If you like that, you can help Confront celebrate its two decades in person, at a five-hour show at the Hundred Years Gallery in east London. Details here:http://www.hundredyearsgallery.com/co…
And if you still want more, you can read my interview with label boss Mark Wastell here.
