Dagli archivi zOaR Elliott Sharp recupera una bella pagina dei Carbon dal vivo risalente all'epoca di Void Coordinates: Amsterdam 2010, in quintetto al Bimhuis con Zeena Parkins, David Weinstein, Marc Sloan e Joe Trump.
The band Carbon was first conceived in April 1983 to be an anti-silicon sound: earthy, jagged, pulsing, and direct. In nature, Carbon gives us diamonds on the one hand, gunpowder on the other. Raw beauty and combustibility: an appropriate metaphor for the music of Elliott Sharp. In summer 2009 Elliott Sharp reconvened Carbon and with Zeena Parkins, Marc Sloan, Juseph Trump and David Weinstein went to the Loho Studio in New York and recorded Void Coordinates. Free-jazz energy and associative development within a set of shifting structural frameworks. The sound of Carbon in performance operating in the service of groove and psycho-acoustic chemical change.
