CD released by Klanggalerie
Press-kit: Sorry 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: it now consist of himself, Edward Ka-Spel of Legendary Pink Dots fame, and Martyn Bates of Eyeless In Gaza.Also contributing is Denver guitarist Janet Feder and the Dots' Patrick Q.Wright. For its fourth release on Klanggalerie – Sun Comes – Sorry For Laughing delves ever deeper into a journey through time, space, and the unexpected with a set that may best be heard as a metaphor for “a life in a day”. Following a three decades’ layoff, SFL reinvented itself as a diverse cross-section of like-minded cohorts working as a group in their own geographically displaced corners of the world, coming together with a resplendent sonic chemistry that coalesces the best of each member’s considerable musical oeuvre while moving towards a new chamber music for the current age, often paying homage to tales of old (and new). This marvelous group consists of producer Gordon H. Whitlow (Biota), Martyn Bates (Eyeless in Gaza, Kodax Strophes), Edward Ka-Spel (Legendary Pink Dots), Patrick Q Wright (Legendary Pink Dots, Officer!), and Janet Feder, with mastering by Randy Miotke (Biota) and other notable guests.
