Bohman, Adam : Music and words 1
When did you last hear a laugh out loud avant garde album? I'm hard pushed to think of any. Roland Topor's 'Panic' is a goodie, or some of the antics of the Selten Gehörte Musik gang, but this is funnier. Bohman's approach to music has always shown a preference for the raw and unprocessed, although his 3 releases on Paradigm with Morphogenesis often use signal processing. On this CD, his first solo recording for Paradigm all the played music (except for one piece that uses slowed down and backwards sounds), are derived from the unprocessed sounds from the surfaces of a wide variety of objects that use a broken violin at its core. This CD attempts to cover the full variety of his different working practices which have been slowly evolving since the mid '80s. In particular there is a total of over 30 minutes taken from one of his many 'talking tapes,' these tapes are made in very small editions and sent out as audio letters to other mail art correspondents (there is also an excerpt included on the first 'London' compilation on Paradigm Discs). These tapes consist of on the spot lo-fi cassette recordings of his observations, both humorous, mundane and personal. Special attention is given to colours, signage and vernacular architectural detail, and favoured locations include: overseas visits, public toilets, restaurants and public transport, but it is the unpretentious wit and dedication that make these tapes so enduring. The sounds of the environment, the faulty recording mechanism and the frequent use of the pause button give these pieces an almost concrète, sound text feel. This 'talking tape' dates from Christmas, 1994. There are also 3 'pause pieces' dating from 1990, which are multi-tracked, rapid collages of prerecorded sound material, also recorded on cassette recorders. This uses a similar technique (although independently developed), as that used by Anton Bruhin on his 'InOut' CD on Alga Marghen. Finally there are 4 multi-tracked studio recordings, and one live concert recording. Crucial to all these pie...

Bohman, Adam : Bunhill row
In 1980, Adam Bohman (Morphogenesis, The Bohman Brothers) made his first recordings using two budget cassette recorders, an ordinary trumpet, and a variety of other acoustic instruments and objects, many of which are still part of the current Bohman armory. Bunhill Row was Bohman's first complete album of material, but it and subsequent releases from the time remained in tiny cassette editions made for friends or exchanged through the mail art network. On vinyl for the first time, Paradigm Discs' hand-numbered reissue opens another window into the incredibly fruitful astral alignment that occurred over London at this time.

Bohman, Adam : Music and words 2
'Music And Words 2' is the second installment in an ongoing series of archival documents of Bohman's early work. As is the case with the first volume, this CD is divided into two separate segments of his work. Adam is probably best known as an improviser, but the music here isn't all that much improvised. On this CD the musical sections consist of idiosyncratic lo-fi songs alongside short collage pieces and other experiments, recorded on stereo and 4-track cassette recorders. Most of these pieces date from the early '80s, but the earliest recording is from 1977. The spoken word sections on this CD are centred on excerpts from 3 talking tapes - a trip to Southend, a concert series in Wiesbaden and a day in the life, in London. Anyone who has known Adam for any length of time will know that he frequently records his observations to a small portable cassette recorder. These are often recorded for friends and music contacts from all over the world. As with the musical contibutions, all these cassettes exist in very small quantities, often they are editions of only one copy. Although there is an obvious difference in these two types of recorded material, there exists a light and humouous common thread that runs through many of the 28 tracks. This is the third solo release from Bohman on Paradigm Discs. He also appears on all 3 of the Morphogenesis CDs, as well as contributing to the first ever Paradigm release, 'Variations', a compilation of London based artists, from 1995.

Bohman, Adam : Music and words 3
Coming 8 years after volume 2 and 23 years after the first installment, volume 3 of 'Music And Words' is the 4th solo release by Adam Bohman on Paradigm Discs. All 4 releases have focused on his earliest recordings, mostly from the '80s, mostly domestic and all using cassette recorders. There are 4 principle styles that are employed in this early phase of Adam's work - most unexpectedly there are songs, often constructed with trumpet as the lead instrument, then more typically there are improvised experimental pieces using home made stringed instruments. Thirdly we have 'pause pieces' - consisting of rapid edit collages using found media (typically radio and bargain bin LPs), and the 4th element is Adam's spoken word recordings. Anyone who has met Adam will have seen him recording his observations and thoughts onto a small tape recorder, documenting his way through life. In fact the 'Music And Words' CD series is roughly 50% composed from these peripatetic 'talking tapes.' On 'Music And Words 3' we hear him at the seaside in both Brighton and Clacton-On-Sea. Overall the CD ranges widely over these various styles, and bursts with ideas and humour.
