The project Brainville THREE brings together three legendary musicians ovver Daevid Allen (Gong), Chris Cutler (Henry Cow) and Hugh Hopper (Soft Machine) combining poetry, punk, jazz, art-rock and noise. Founded in New York in 1998 by Daevid Allen and Hugh Hopper with Mark Kramer and Pip Pyle - Brainville Three continued as a trio with the late Pip Pyle in 1999 for a tour in Japan.
Hopper and Allen first played together in 1963 in the then revolutionary Daevid Allen Trio (with Robert Wyatt on drums) - the first group that combined stylistic free-jazz-rock with abstract poetry. Since 1967 Daevid had become a founding member of the now legendary Soft Machine, which he joined in 1968. At the same time Daevid Hugh had moved to Paris and was assembling the first version of the "Gong". When Gong needed a drummer, Cutler was that at the time free from his core group "Henry Cow", was chosen.
Later, in 1979, Cutler worked album Allen "N'existe Pas" and made several festivals with Gong including the now legendary Giorgio Gomelsky ZU Festival in New York. This band brings together three legendary musicians combining poetry, punk, jazz, art-rock and noise.Founded in New York in 1998 by Daevid Allen and Hugh Hopper.
Daevid Allen
Born January 13, 1938 in Melbourne, rightly called the '' Australieno ", Daevid Allen has a position on the edge of the rock corresponds roughly to the role of the late Sun Ra on the borders of jazz. Allen also was a catalyst, a talent scout, a philosopher and a cosmic aphorist gnomic, a poet and a storyteller, a prolific author indiscriminately, an innovator idiosyncratic instrumental and, above all, an independent spirit faithful only to his muse.
The changing versions of Gong and their bands satellites have been for him the equivalent dell'Arkestra Sun Ra, vehicles to bring together musical ideas and extra-musical. As with the Sun Ra surface "absurdity" in the presentation and a sense of theatricality that tends to pantomime have kept away critics pompous or caused hasty considerations. Allen, who does not care to provoke ridicule, continues with the tireless work that he considers too serious to be taken seriously.
Hugh Hopper
began his musical life in the mid-60s and was one of the original founders of the minds of music progressive rock / fusion of the Canterbury school which produced innovative and influential bands such as Soft Machine, Gong and Caravan.
