The first instalment (Series #1) of recordings from the UglyBeautyCage Archives has been posted under www.archives.org. Check it out! You can download all these great tracks from UglyBeautyCage Archives - Series No. 1.
These 4 spontaneous compositions came into existence as the fruits of unrehearsed playing and spontaneous improvisation by the duo of Ralph Lichtensteiger and George Koehler, on Nov 21, 1999.
They are part of a larger blizzard of hardcore dada that evolved during a series of rehearsals, to investigate and develop material for our UglyBeautyCage project, and in preparation for two concerts in Frankfurt which were held on March 31 and April 1, 2000. There are no overdubs on these recordings.
