If you noticed the new review of Spring Heel Jack's latest Blue Series release The Sweetness Of The Water, I hope you also noticed that it is not yet-another turgid blurt from the pen of yours truly. Not at all.
Rather, it is the work of the newest writer here at Bagatellen, Marc Medwin. Marc is currently completing a Ph.D. in musicology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, his dissertation focusing on Olivier Messiaen. While he did play keyboards in a few jazz-rock, improvisational and hip-hop bands in college, most of Marc's efforts have centered around composition and academics. His musical influences include Throbbing Gristle, Captain Beefheart, Pierre Henry, Fred Frith and Popol Vuh, among many others.
Please join me in extending Marc the warmest of welcomes.
glad to have you aboard, Marc.

Posted by: walto at July 7, 2004 6:31 PMPlease consider the red carpet rolled out, Marc. ID badge & steam-pressed uniform (in fucshia & chartreuse team colors) should be enroute via parcel post. We’re in the midst of negotiating a new dental plan, but rest assured that the proper paperwork will be expedited by Bags HR when the deal does go down.
