WOLFGANG DAUNER-OUTPUT, LP, 1970, GERMANY




Krautrock monster alert, folks! Comprised of the trio of Wolfgang Dauner on ringmodulated clavinet and piano, Eberhard Weber on bass, cello and guitar and Fred Braceful on percussion and voice, this is a coruscating masterstroke of hard burning acidic fusion at the point of implosion into the freeform. Released on ECM Records in their nascent days, before the house aesthetic calcified into something much more reserved, Output unfurls itself on a slipstream of droning and groaning spectral esoterica before exploding into the title track's hailstorm of outrageously overdriven ringmodulated clav, octopoidal percussive splatter and fuzz bass fusillades. Output represents Dauner at his most out-on-a-limb, frequently deploying strategies that he and Braceful would explore at greater length on the eponymous first Et Cetera LP (reissued as "Lady Blue", in which form it can be found elsewhere on MS), which is merely one of the top 5 krautrock albums of all time, in my humble opinion. Utterly essential.

Hi Mutant Sounds!

I've been downloading a lot of stuff from your blog the last months, and I can't even describe how greatful I am. Mutant Sounds is THE BEST blog around!! Thank you for all the wonderfull stuff you guys are sharing!

Some 17 year old kid from amsterdam.

PS

I have a little request:

Dutch experimental painter Karel Appel made an LP called: "Musique Barbare" I think 1963. He started travelling to New York from 1957 and there he got into jazz music and he got to know Dizzy Gillespie. Together with Gillespie he made this totally weird, experimental-free-jazz-musique-conrète LP. Maybe you guys can help me out!

You can listen to the music here:

http://cgi.omroep.nl/cgi-bin/streams?/tv/vpro/GE/bb.20060214.asf?title=De werkelijkheid van Karel Appel;embed=1

It's an 15 minute movie from the sixties of Karel Appel with background music of this LP.

Here you can see the record itself on some sort off dutch ebay:

(Sorry that this is a bit off-topic from this great Wolfgang Dauner Post.)
Thanks again for everything!

anonymous #1: no idea.

Anonymous #2: I used to have that Karel Appel album! It got traded for my copy of Horrific Child many years ago. I didn't recall there being anything on it featuring Dizzy Gillespie but hearing portions of it again on the documentary you linked to (thanks for that!), it does appear that Dizzy is on there. Hmmm...I just remembered it as a document of Appel going nuts making intuitive "sound paintings" in an electronic studio with the help of an engineer. It's been maybe 15 years since I've had it in my hands though, so it's all a bit of a distant memory.

Anonymous #3-the only copy I ever found of "Fur" was so beat to shit, I immediately demanded a refund from the seller I got it from.

Thanks for this wonderful album -- back when ECM was at the forefront of modern jazz.

Regarding the Karel Appel lp: I think Gillespie's music is used only in the documentary movie, and the lp is Karel Appel alone. The album has been recently reissued as a grey-area cdr by Creelpone. An upload would be appreciated.
