ANTARCTIC ARCHIPELAGOS: Homage to Amundsen & Bernick
by no - tet

RECORDED BY WARREN LEE 3 & 4 FEBRUARY 2002

____________________________

UNTET (c.2000-c.2003?) was an improvising quartet which featured McCloud Zicmuse* on upper clarinets etc., Warren Lee** on keyboards & vibraphone, Arrington de Dionyso on lower clarinets etc., and me on contrabass. (For more of that ensemble, stay tuned for future posts; also see archive.org/details/opensource_audio?query=Untet )

NO-TET was the Arringtonless subset of Untet.

As far as I recall, Antarctic Archipelagos is the only recording no-tet made, direct to cassette in Warren's living room***, 20 years ago.

A limited-edition CD-R of this session was released on the ZICMUSE label (zicmuse 0202.1). The printed cover of that edition is reproduced for this digital reissue.

The dedicatees of this album, polar explorer Roald Amundsen and musician/ornithologist Andy Bernick, were chosen by McCloud (Bernick participated in an Antarctic research expedition www1.cuny.edu/events/cunymatters/2002_may/antarctic.html ; he also released some of McCloud's recordings on his label rcarchives.com/sound.htm ).

The tracks were intentionally left untitled.
