Label Press Release ::<br />
Jochen Schwarz / DIE STADT is very delighted to announce the re-release of 'Vacant Lights' one of his all time favourite<br />
works by David Jackman, in combination with a second <strong>CD</strong> comprising of five unreleased or hard to find tracks entitled 'Rara<br />
Avis'. David Jackman, active since the late sixties as a member of THE SCRATCH ORCHESTRA and later with many solo<br />
works and under the name ORGANUM with changing line-up's, was supported on these recordings by some of the main<br />
collaborator's during this <strong>Organum</strong> phase: Dinah Jane Rowe, Jim O'Rourke, Eddie Prevost (AMM), Christoph Heemann<br />
(H.N.A.S.), Robert Hampson (Main) as players and Steven Stapleton (NWW) and Peter McGhee in the studio. Most of the<br />
recordings on these two <strong>CD</strong>'s show the more contemplative side of the ORGANUM sound, the main characteristic being<br />
Jackman's playing of various types of bamboo flutes some of which were actually made by David Jackman. The inside cover<br />
features one of the two collages by David Jackman that were used for the original LP sleeve. Cover design by Jonathan<br />
Coleclough. Edition of 600 copies in 4panel full color digisleeve. The first 150 copies incl. a poster with the artwork feat. on<br />
the back side of the original LP cover.<br />
VACANT LIGHTS: recorded live in the backyard of long-gone IPS Studio, Sherperd's Bush, London. Performed by Dinah<br />
Jane Rowe and David Jackman, with Steven Stapleton and Peter McGhee at the controls. Four recordings were made. Two<br />
survive and are presented on this <strong>CD</strong>. Originally released as an LP on Jon Carlson's Dom America label in the late 1980's,<br />
the <strong>CD</strong> version has been carefully re-mastered from the original reels. It was one of the easiest and most trouble-free<br />
<strong>Organum</strong> albums to make. Jane and I went to IPS on a sunny 20 August 1986, did the music in an hour and a half, went<br />
home. It was ordinary, a normal day.<br />
RARA AVIS is a short collection of five pieces, three of which have appeared on 7-inch singles: IUEL and WOLF on Dom<br />
America, HIBAKUSHA on Walter Robotka's Syntactic label. Jim O'Rourke added guitar to IUEL, Christoph Heemann put<br />
some microphone feedback into WOLF. OBON (VERSION), originally recorded way back at IPS, is one of four alternate<br />
mixes engineered years later by Robert Hampson and Mr. O'Rourke. RARA AVIS is a previously unused mix created by Jim<br />
circa 1991 from sounds made during the AURORA sessions of 1990. Extensively re-worked in 2003, it features Jim, Jane,<br />
Eddie Prevost and myself. At the time of writing, Jim and the others have not heard what is in effect a new piece.<br />
Alan Jones of RMS Studios, London, provided excellent and ever-patient help with the editing of the masters.<br />
My thanks to all who helped to create these works. David Jackman Sunday 23 May 2004
