{"product_id":"everyman-rg","title":"Everyman","description":"\u003cp\u003eSorry For Laughing is a project by Gordon H. Whitlow who is also a member of legendary US avantgarde collective Biota, formerly Mnemonists or Mnemonist Orchestra. Their music is a mixture of modern classical, experimental sounds, noise, industrial, avangarde, songwriting and free jazz. In 1986 Gordon H. Whitlow released a cassette under the name Sorry For Laughing: \"The compositions stem from my beginning days with the avant-garde recording ensemble Biota, shortly after completion of the Bellowing Room LP.\" The album was re-issued on CD by Klanggalerie in 2018 and is still available. Recently, Gordon reactivated the project and changed it from a solo effort into a new supergroup featuring Edward Ka-Spel and Patrick Q. Wright of Legendary Pink Dots, Martyn Bates and Elizabeth S. from Eyeless in Gaza, Janet Feder, and more recently Dave-id, formerly of Virgin Prunes who is the main collaborator on this new album. Gordon Whitlow describes it like this: \"Thematically, in my mind, it deals with mortality, love, and searching (especially an inner searching for peace). I consider it a sort of existential opera or tale, alternately fatalistic and hopeful. A very human story, where the \"everyman\" is buffeted by things beyond his immediate control, placing him\/her on a continuum of circumstances, on a stormy sea. The musical framework is atmospheric and abrasive, sometimes tranquil, with elements of collage and musique-concrete. It's certainly the most introspective thing I think Dave-id's ever done. Sometimes heartbreaking.\" Musically, this new album still showcases the SFL sound but in a more fragmentary way. Let yourselves be surprised.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Klanggalerie","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":57551114469707,"sku":"R0803-6653","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/p_16817bfc-fe38-4386-97a8-ed5982391aa1.jpg?v=1781109999","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/everyman-rg","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
