John Zorn's Masada

John Zorn
Muziekcentrum, Den Bosch (The Netherlands)
March 19-21, 1999 *RESEED*


Another version (different source and track listing) of these concerts were seeded before here on Dime. The piece "Cat O'Nine Tails" was not included in that post, because this composition was broadcasted separately afterwards. I posted a version containing all the string quartets (but without the interview parts) some time ago.
The original post also included (according to the uploader) a "Duck calls" solo by John Zorn, from the 1981 Claxon Festival at Theater 't Hoogt in Utrecht (The Netherlands), which according to the broadcast announcer (left out) was John Zorn first ever appearance in Europe. In some trade lists, this is also known as "Rumor Fest, 1980". For this reseed, I have omitted this piece.
The initial broadcast started off with a 14 minute soundscape, containing various examples of John Zorn's music. Within this compilation, some interview excerpts (John Zorn was interviewed by Paul Harvey at the back of a car) were woven in. These bits are included in this post, as well as more excerpts of this interview which were presented during the evenings broadcast.
In this seed, I track-indexed the String Quartet piece "The Deadman", which has 13 small parts.
