Gorgonzola?
Auckland musician Steve Roach has just released his first solo recording and it's called Gorgonzola. Why Gorgonzola? "I like the smell of smelly cheese." Gorgonzola's a smelly cheese, y'see.
Gorgonzola is a 45 minute tape of recordings made mainly on cassette recorders, using all manner of instruments. It's not really similar to v the work of Roach's previous ensemble, the Squirm and even further removed
from his pop work with the Techtones. Roach has applied for an Arts Council Grant to buy a four track tape recorder so he can make recordings up to pressing quality. "I think cassettes are a good medium for quick release but they're very limited as far as distribution goes. And with the flexibility I like to work with I can't afford to work in studios."
Gorgonzola (reviewed in this issue) is available from House of Squirm, PO Box 47295, Auckland at a cost of $6, for which price you get a fab 12 page booklet.
