Sound Chemistry

"After all, being misunderstood is the fate of all true geniuses is it not?"

RE-DESIGNING EACH ALBUM FROM LE COMTE - JOE VIGLIONE - INSIDE THE MAC

THIS is an essay on my approach, at sixty-two years of age, to re-working and marketing the music created since I was a teenager playing with a reel-to-reel after putting away the chemistry set.

The Chemistry Set that makes sound.   
by Joe Viglione

As a kid I got a chemistry set - and mixing potions that one does not understand can be fun; exploring results that occur by putting that substance with this.


Definition of chemistry set 
: a set of equipment that a child can use to learn about chemistry by doing simple experiments


Then - as we get a year or two older - our ideas and what we are attracted to in life can change slightly - or largely.   Experimenting with sounds, vibrations, good Beach Boys vibrations, "bad" Black Sabbath vibrations, and combining the two.

Leaving "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane" off of Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band off of the album is like leaving the Gospel of St. John out of the Bible.  If the Beatles combination of sounds from Rubber Soul, Revolver to the White Album did for rock and roll bands what Chuck Berry did for the medium itself, why has music in 2017 hit a wall?  There is little sound experimentation - perhaps The Doors An American Prayer where they HAD TO reunite to put some music to Morrison's words 

WIKIPEDIA - 9th and final Doors studio album -

Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger, and John Densmore reunited and recorded backing tracks over Morrison's poetry (originally recorded in 1969 and 1970). Other pieces of music and spoken word recorded by the Doors and Morrison were also used in the audio collage, such as dialogue from Morrison's film HWY: An American Pastoral and snippets from jam sessions.



But Rubber Soul and Revolver by The Beatles were textbooks for the future by a band still together, and still exploring the possibilities  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UjvdZm-Tu8 Tomorrow Never Knows Final track on 1966' REVOLVER










NOTES
WIKIPEDIA
"Strawberry Fields Forever" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles. The song was written by John Lennon and credited to the Lennon–McCartney songwriting partnership. It was inspired by Lennon's memories of playing in the garden of Strawberry Field, a Salvation Army children's home near where he grew up in Liverpool.[4] 

The song was the first track recorded during the sessions for the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967),[5] and was intended for inclusion on the album. Instead, with the group under record-company pressure to release a single, it was issued in February 1967 as a double A-side with "Penny Lane".  Lennon considered the song his greatest accomplishment.[6] The track incorporates reverse-recorded instrumentation and tape loops,



chemistry 
1. : a science that deals with the composition, structure, and properties of substances and with the transformations that they undergo 
: the composition and chemical properties of a substance 
: chemical processes and phenomena (as of an organism)

THE FURY IN YOUR EYES


In the 1970s Aastral Projection featuring John Hovorka on bass guitar, Fred Pineau on guitar, John Morrill on drums and Joe Viglione on vocals, rhythm guitar, rocked in Boston, only one of ten bands listed in the pages of the Boston Phoenix.

Pineau formed Bonjour Aviators with drummer Kevin Graves of Blue Cheer and Randall of the High Heels.


Out of the pioneering New Wave band  emerged four albums for Viglione on New Rose Records, Hovorka with a notable solo career and Fred Pineau joining the Atlantics and touring with Roxy Music.
_______________________________________

Viglione's record label signed Moe Tucker, the original drummer of The Velvet Underground.
It was the first solo appearance ever of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame artist.


On the flip side appeared Lady Carolyn with
Love and Flame performing "Of Yesterday"

Fred Pineau's Bonjour Aviators












Fury in Your Eyes





BONJOUR AVIATORS – The Fury In Your Eyes b/w Boston City Limits. Romantic Records RR 333. Issued in 1976. No picture sleeve. VINYL:  VG++, play graded; large hole center. DESCRIPTION:  From Boston, the band formed prior the punk/new wave movement and actually traveled to New York City for their early gigs at CBGB’s and Max’s prior to The Rat opening its doors to bands that played original material and the “new” sound. Bonjour Aviators were one of the regular opening bands in support of many of the NYC bands that first came up to Boston to play The Rat. The band originally consisted of Kim Preston/guitar and keyboards, John Shriver/bass guitar, Kevin Graves/drums, and Fred Pineau/guitar and vocals. The band reformed just prior to cutting this single, minus Kim Preston, with second guitarist Craig Covner and the late Randall, later of Baby's Arm, on vocals. Classic Proto-Punk, good stuff! Fred Pineau, who wrote both tracks on this single, later played with Boston’s Atlantics.
