Small, Hugh -& Brian Allen Simon-
The Side I Never See
Hugh forms half of Scottish post-punk duo Vazz, whose work was the subject of a recent retrospective by Belgian label
Stroom. Brian is known best for his solo project Anenon, under which name he has released four full length albums and
multiple remixes for artists including Ryuichi Sakamoto.
An improvised recording of Brian playing over the Vazz piece Kazimierz catalysed this long-distance collaboration; 2000
feet up a mountain in Andalucia, Hugh heard the recording on a broadcast of Brians dublab LA radio show. Immediately
taken in by Brians playing, the pair soon established contact and began discussing the possibility of working to create
something new together.
The rest, as they say, is history: the results are fully realised in The Side I Never See, a shimmering suite of ten
compositions for piano, soprano saxophone, synthesizer and guitar. In Hughs words. so, what is it? Its Ambient-Punk,
Abstract-Jazz, Disaffected-Classical, its whatever the fuck you want it to be! :-)
