Product Description
Legendary downtown New York producer & engineer Richard Alderson captured some of the most essential sounds imaginable on tape at the dawn of the 1960s by the likes of The Fugs, The Holy Modal Rounders, The Godz, Pearls Before Swine, Albert Ayler, Sun Ra, Thelonious Monk and a host of others. In the early 1970s, he dropped out of the scene and relocated to Chiapas, Mexico. For five years he traveled throughout the Chiapas highlands with a microphone in hand, putting to tape some of the most stunning music imaginable. Bats’ I Son means "real song," and this foundational collection represents the culmination of Alderson’s years spent documenting the raw, rarely-heard songs and ritual performances of an acoustic ecology that’s all but disappeared today. Brilliantly remastered from the original master tapes at Alderson Acoustics in 2003, Bats’ I Son features never-before-published photos, heavily revised liner notes by Richard Alderson & Dawson Prater and updated track-by-track accounts by Alderson.
