Emptying his East London bedroom to decorate, the viola player Ivor Kallin noticed its exceptional acoustics, and he’s rush-released the recorded evidence as a free download from Linear Obsessional. Kallin, a transplanted Glaswegian, claims to be playing viola in the Pibroch tradition of extended bagpipe compositions.
Thus, these three lengthy and oddly timeless pieces recall the experimental bagpipes of Yoshi Wada or David Watson, and the massed string smogs of Tony Conrad, La Monte Young and the pre-Velvets John Cale, suggesting ‘60s downtown New York having a 16th century Highland fling.
