By 1978, only the acronym was still in use. Defining itself as \"an ensemble of composers [...] united by the desire to play fluid, spontaneous and self-regulated music,\" CCMC, through its instrumentation, the backgrounds of several of its founders, and the improvised nature of its music, initially aligned itself with the free jazz community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; ; white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eIts original members were Peter Anson (guitar, then synthesizer), Graham Coughtry (trombone), Larry Dubin (percussion), Greg Gallagher (saxophones), Nobuo Kubota (saxophones), Allan Mattes (bass, bass guitar, electronics), Casey Sokol (piano); Bill Smith (saxophones); and Michael Snow (piano, trumpet, guitar, analog synthesizer). Gallagher, Coughtry and Smith left the group in 1976-1977, Dubin died in 1978 and Anson left in 1979. The remaining quartet was joined by drummer John Kamevaar in 1981. Sokol left the group in 1988, Kubota in 1991 and Damevaar and Mattes in 1994. Singer Paul Dutton joined the group in 1989, followed by John Oswald (alto saxophone) in 1994. CCMC moved toward improvised electroacoustic music: by 1990, the instrumentation included a guitar-synthesizer and double bass (Mattes), a wind synthesizer (Kubota), magnetic tapes and live electronic sampling (Kamevaar), voices (Dutton and Kubota) and a piano (Snow).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eLabel: Track \u0026amp; Light Recordings\u003cspan\u003e – TLR 02\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRunning time: 72 min.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eDate: 1994\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eGenre: Electronic, Jazz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eStyle: Free Improvisation, Experimental\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1 - What's The Head For This One? 10:38\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2 - Suddenly 9:363\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3 - Ain't Misbehavin All The Way 7:30\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e4 - Walls 6:05 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5 - Sliced Cat 5:09\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e6 - Last Night I Barked 14:18 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e7 - Better Than Beethoven Is Better Than Better Than 5:35\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e8 - A Minor Electrical Problem 10:52 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e9 - How It Seemed At The Time 3:13\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; ; white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Canadian Creative Music Collective","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56788834746699,"sku":"SQ0166556","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/3034\/9643\/files\/CCMC_Decisive.webp?v=1773411260","url":"https:\/\/re-voir.com\/en\/products\/ccmc-michael-snow-et-al-decisive-moments","provider":"Re:Voir","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
