Material recorded on this tour was later released as a box set on Weekertoft, a label Russell founded in 2016 with Irish pianist Paul G. In 2013 Sound and Music took the club on a seven date tour of England. His feature on the late Japanese improvising guitarist, Masayuki Takayanagi was broadcast on BBC Radio 3's Jazz on 3 on 22 February 2010. In December 2014 he played in a concert with Parker and Moore and to celebrate his 60th birthday, despite being under hospital supervision for a heart condition. In his later years he returned to electric guitar in several live performances, including as part of Parker's Electro-Acoustic band and in a duo with Thurston Moore of the rock band Sonic Youth. In 2009 Russell formed House Full of Floors with Parker and John Edwards. In 1981, he founded Quaqua, an ensemble that varies in size and draws from a pool of improvisers. Russell led a trio with Butcher and Durrant and duos with Turner, Stefan Keune, Phil Minton, Evan Parker, and Luc Houtkamp. Mopomoso hosted an annual Christmas event with improvising musicians, workshops, and Fete Quaqua where musicians played in groupings over three evenings, similar to Derek Bailey's Company Week. Performers included Richard Barrett, Steve Beresford, Lawrence Casserley, Tania Chen, Lol Coxhill, John Coxon, Max Eastley, Alexander Hawkins, Tim Hodgkinson, Caroline Kraabel, Phil Minton, Louis Moholo, Maggie Nicols, Gino Robair, Sabu Toyozumi, Roger Turner, Cleveland Watkiss, Trevor Watts, and Veryan Weston. The club was moved to the Vortex Jazz Club later that same year. The club promoted around 300 regular monthly concerts at the Red Rose Club in London until the venue's transfer of ownership in January 2008. In the mid-1980s Russell founded the club Mopomoso with pianist and trumpeter Chris Burn. In 1988 Russell helped establish Acta Records with John Butcher and Phil Durrant to release the trio's debut album, Conceits. In 1983, he appeared in the Channel 4 TV documentary Jazz on Four: Crossing Bridges, which examined guitarists Brian Godding, Fred Frith, Ron Geesin, Hans Reichel, and Keith Rowe. Two years later he gave up electric guitar to concentrate on acoustic. For a year Russell received weekly lessons in conventional technique from Derek Bailey. In 1975, he helped start the journal Musics.
At seventeen he moved to London and began playing at the Little Theatre Club run by drummer John Stevens, becoming a member of the Musicians' Co-op and organizing concerts. A fan of blues, Russell taught himself guitar in school and started a band. His grandfather gave him his first guitar at the age of eleven. The only issue that seems apparent while my espresso is kicking in is if routing the pre-powerchip mag signal and post-powerchip piezo signal to two switches sharing the same housing would somehow interact in an unintended/improperly isolated way.Russell was born in Battersea and grew up in Ruckinge, Kent. Nonetheless, one is free to implement a control scheme similar to the pre-refined Fly if one wishes. The point of the “refined” control scheme was (ostensibly) to use common components and fewer of them, for overhead and serviceability cost-cutting. The only downside one may encounter is the sweep of the pot not turning down the piezo-fed signal at the same rate as the mag one (Graphtech, as a tenuous example, uses 250k pots with a particular taper for their “MIDI volume” control). Same goes for the GK and Hexpander boards (either/or - You’d need a three-gang pot to control mag/piezo/MIDI). I don’t know why I never saw this post until now, but: On paper, you can use a 250k dual-gang/stacked pot as a master volume in all refined Flys (Powerchip and Acoustiphonic) - The point-to-point wiring gives you as much flexibility as with any other guitar. I am very frustrated and want my piezos backĪny advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated. I read somewhere in this forum that if the preamp board was bad, the mags would not work. He said if I could find one, that he could replace it. The last tech seemed to do the most extensive troubleshooting and he ascertained that the problem was the preamp board. All switches and pots are functioning properly The battery is good and sending signal to the circuitryĥ. The little red stereo switch is working (of note-when I engage the switch, I hear a clunk sounding transient noise but it has no affect)Ĥ. The piezo bridge saddles are fine and conducting signalĢ. I have taken it to 3 of the "best" guitar techs in St. The magnetic pickups are working perfectly. It worked fine for years and one day just quit working. I have the same problem with the piezo system on my pre-refined Fly.
