Bio: Alan Sondheim (www.alansondheim.org) was born in
Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania; he lives with his partner, Azure
Carter in Providence, RI. He holds a B.A. and M.A. from Brown
University. A new-media artist, writer, and theorist, he has
exhibited, performed and lectured widely. His band Ritual All
70, whose debut The Songs (Riverboat, 1967) was reissued by the
Fire Museum label, was included on the notorious Nurse with
Wound list of outsider/avant-garde influences.

Overview (excerpted from the liner notes):

Sondheim is the first artist from ESP-Disk's 1964-75 heyday to
return, since it was revived in 2005, to issue an album of new
material on the fabled label. Sondheim joined the roster with a
1967 session, Ritual-All-7-70, then followed up with 1968's
T'Other Little Tune. Sondheim got his musical start as a
guitarist, but soon moved into a much more original sound
utilizing a vast array of instruments from around the world.
Cutting Board, his eighth album, is his first instrumental group
album; his other albums have always either been solo (and there
are two solo tracks on Cutting Board as well) or featured female
vocalists. Though he's a pure improviser, Sondheim rightly
insists that he doesn't play jazz; even playing with two
saxophonists, he's outside that tradition's spectrum. The
eclecticism of the sounds he's working with sonically can
tenuously seem to connect him to world music, but he doesn't
play the instruments in traditional ways. And on rare occasions
you can hear the blues lurking, but it's not likely that Living
Blues will be putting him on the cover. Maybe if somebody starts
a music magazine (or website) called Beyond Category, then
Sondheim can be a cover subject.

Press Quotes:

Of Ritual-All-7-70: "...if there is a concept here, its
extremely simple: you never heard such sounds in your life."
Clifford Allen, Bagatellen

Of Avatar Woman: "...be prepared to listen to universes growing
and collapsing within their sound worlds."
