about

This was the first of five concerts we performed at Dave Draper's China Pig Club, over the course of three years. Like so many other improvised/experimental music clubs, this took place in the function room of a pub (The Rose & Crown) with no music licence! The busy traffic on Mare Street contributed some nice rumbles, and the occasional siren. Andy Cordery had joined the group, and unusually for him plays a small electronic keyboard. This is the first time that an entire concert recording of the group has been released.

-Michael Allen Z. Prime

"Capturing Morphogenesis live at The China Pig Club, Hackney on 13 October 1991, this would be around the time of my second or third Morphogenesis concert. The picture used for the release cover is the very same one used for the Morphogenesis interview in Audion 24.
The recording is remarkably vivid, and perfectly presents sound art that's totally on the edge. The four tracks are simply labelled Parts 1 to 4, with the first three pieces are in excess of 20 minutes each. For the first half of Part 1, it's a complex mixture of different sounds kind of battling for the foreground, achieving a kind of anguished but controlled chaos, with Roger Sutherland's gong crashes sometimes acting as cues for the performance to change, after which the sound becomes like a writhing metal monster stomping around and then roaring quite intensely. Part 2 follows a similar type of formula, except for being more drone based and in that it doesn't reach such a tumultuous crescendo. Part 3 starts with smaller sounds, bubbling, tapping, rotating, getting more and more dense as the piece goes on. And Part 4 kind of distils what has gone before on a more dense droney level.
As such, it's all quite intense stuff, and a lot more aggressive than most gigs I witnessed. There are five more THE MORPHOGENETIC FIELDS releases to investigate, plus another one titled IMPROVISATIONS at the Mycophile Bandcamp page."
