Rarely Heard: Original Silence - Argument Left Hanging-Rubber Cement Original Silence is a six-piece improvisational noise/jazz/rock supergroup with members Thurston Moore, Jim ORourke, Massimo Pupillo, Paal Nilssen-Love, Terrie Ex and Mats Gustafsson. The band offers a perfect balance between structured improvisation, raw noise, and thunderous rock beats. This title is from their second album and Pitchfork says: Shooting out of the gate with scratchy guitar, gut-rocking bass, and a stuttering beat, the track at first resembles a Captain Beefheart jam, then hits shades of electric-era Miles Davis, and ends with a trail of dense electronics. Throughout, Mats Gustafssons sax wraps the din into a ball of rhythmic noise, suggesting its actually possible to dance to free-form improv. Last night at the round table with my pals I mentioned Id be presenting Original Silence today, and one remarked: You do recognize that youve seen half of that band performing this month? And its true: I saw Mats Gustafsson and Paal Nilssen-Love perform as The Thing in Wels, Austria, and just last week Terrie Ex with The Ex here in Regesnburg!
