FC Weiland

Frits Weiland/Karel Appel

Poeme Barbare is like the art of Karel Appel; agressive, intense, uncompromising, and Dutch. I can relate to some of these characteristics. Frits Weiland is a Dutch composer and sound artist, who assists Karel Appel on the LP Musique Barbare. The filmmaker Jan Vrijman, and photographer Ed van der Elsken documented the making of it.

Leon Williams/Sarah Webster Fabio

Sarah Webster Fabio is an American poet who recorded several collections of poetry with a musical background. Chromo is from the LP Jujus/Alchemy of the Blues. [Folkways, 1976] The musicians on the record are some of the children of Webster Fabio and some of their friends. They called themselves "Don't Fight the Feeling" for the occasion. The band is led by an experienced and professional jazz musician: Leon Williams.

Alan Vega/Alex Chilton

Fat City is the eight-and-a-half minute opening track from the LP Cubist Blues [2.13.61, 1996] by Alan Vega, together with Alex Chilton and Ben Vaughn. Alan Vega is best known for his work with Martin Rev in Suicide, but not not so much as a solo act, even though he recorded a large string of albums. Both Chilton and Vega have been in the Top 100 several times with their respected bands Big Star, and Suicide.
