Live from Soundscape (Material album)
Live from Soundscape is a 1994 released album of a live 1981 performance by the New York based No Wave music group Material. The album is something of an oddity in the discography of Material. While most of their albums explored a fusion of funk, no-wave, world music and jazz, "Live from Soundscape" is an example of non-idiomatic free improvisation. The band, led by bassist Bill Laswell, recorded live onstage with no pre-planned melodies, rhythms or themes.
