eartrip - issue 2

Hello again.

It's been a while, but the long-promised second issue of 'eartrip' is here. Included are interviews with Hugh Hopper and Alexander Hawkins, an audio feature on Politics and Jazz, a defence of John Zorn, and a large reviews section which covers many recent jazz/improv CD releases/re-issues, as well as George Lewis' excellent AACM book.

The magazine is available, in PDF Format, by going to the download link below:

Dick Bowman's also put it up on his FTP server:
ftp://88.97.16.226/Eartrip/eartrip_2-complete.pdf.

And finally, if you don' want to do all that reading onscreen, you can get a print copy (A5, black and white) from lulu.com. The cost is £8.04, including postage. As with the first issue, this print option has been set up by Dick Bowman, to whom I'm very grateful, and neither he nor I get a profit - all the money goes to lulu.com.

The download link for Anthony Whiteford's Politics and Jazz audio feature is included inside the magazine, but I thought I'd also make it available as an online stream: click the button and listen below.



Anyhow, enjoy and please leave feedback (either by email or as a blog comment).

Best,
David Grundy

eartrip 1 now available as hard copy

I've had some comments about the difficulty of reading 200 pages off a screen, and asking about hard-copy options. Well, for those who had those problems, and for those who like to have a physical object in their hands, 'Eartrip' has now been set up as a project at online publisher lulu (thanks, once again, to Dick Bowman). It'll come in A5, black and white, paperback book format. Cost to the UK is just over £8, including P & P costs (from Spain).

In case anyone's wondering, no one's getting any money from this about from lulu.com. At least at this stage, I'm not really comfortable with running 'Eartrip' for profit.

eartrip issue 1 now available on FTP server

Dick Bowman, a member of the freejazz.org forums, has kindly offered to host 'eartrip' files on his FTP server:

With David's permission I've put the Eartrip pdf onto my FTP server.
You should be able to reach it by sending your FTP client to 88.97.16.226 and doing all the geeky "anonymous" and email address stuff. You'll find an Eartrip folder.
I've downloaded remotely from this server a few times, so it might work - please advise of problems (email to dick@dickbowman.org.uk).
The plan is that the file (and future issues) will be there for the foreseeable future (or until the box breaks). Currently too mean/poor/incompetent to give it a domain name - anyone winning the lottery using the IP address numbers please donate 10% of your winnings to the RUCMA Cultural Emergency Fund.

Or try popping this web address into your browser:
ftp://88.97.16.226/Eartrip/eartrip-1-21.pdf
