Metamatic Forums Links and Connections Harold Budd Jane 1-11, the new album from Harold Budd...

Harold says of his new album (entitled Jane 1-11); It's simple. I broke out and broke back to my earlier days: A triangle of risk, improvisation and joy - as I say, very simple. My rules to myself were: No plan, no notes, no ideas, no microphones; except for Jane 1 I stuck to it. My other rule - the most important one - was: At least one piece per day, finished, mixed and not to be revisited again. Jane 7, 8 and 9 were done in one day... Brad Ellis was my guide through this: An untiring day, ready to go again... To quote a letter to me from Mark Tobey: ..."It fell off the edge of my brush.". The full track-listing is as follows...

01. Jane 1 [7:47]
02. Jane 2 [4:56]
03. Jane 3 [5:06]
04. Jane 4 [5:44]
05. Jane 5 [4:08]
06. Jane 6 [5:09]
07. Jane 7 [5:02]
08. Jane 8 [5:18]
09. Jane 9 [2:27]
10. Jane 10 [8:44]

Great, thanks Rob. Not the same Jane as John's "Jane", one presumes ...??

Nah, a different Jane...

I believe that the album is named after the artist Jane Maru...
She was previously name-checked by Harold on the 5th track - Shout (For Jane Maru) - of his last album, Bandits Of Stature.
