David Jackson – Guastalla: Live Tonewall & Soundbeam [2002]
A November night in Guastalla for an Event organised by the Peter Hammill / Van der Graaf Generator Study Group: the solo concert by David Jackson, once saxophone player in Van der Graaf Generator. A late afternoon arrival, the discovery of the musician during the soundcheck, a dinner with friends – and then, Music. Just minutes before the show we discover there are two video cameras available, and we attempt the unthinkable: a document which doesn’t fall in the category of the usual and boring bootleg captured from a hidden corner, with noises and tremblings included. To decide what to do and how we only have 15 minutes: not exactly the necessary time to invent a project. But this picture doesn’t take David into account: alone, he takes the stage like a giant for two exhausting hours of music, passion, smiles, tragedy. After a couple of weeks, in the silence of Sonica Studios, we make the point on the images with Emilio Maestri and we realise that maybe it can happen. So fifty hours of editing, syncing, experiments and second thoughts follow, in the search for the cuts able to render the atmosphere and emotion of the event at best. David sees the result at the right time and is quite impressed: to the point that he immediately asks us to release it.” Includes a couple of VDGG tracks, donchaknow!

Soundbeam Projects
This work is about creating music with groups of people of all levels of ability and even profound disability.
David Jackson introduced his Soundbeam in the von Bodelschwinghschen Anstalten in Bielefeld during the winter of 2007 – a unique experience for the people in Bethel. The concluding highlight of the 2 day workshop being the “Celebration Concert” in the culture centre of Bethel, called the Neue Schmiede. Here are highlights of the concert.
David Jackson joins Time Spanners to perform a new piece written by David called ‘Africa’. The percussion section are led by Paul Midgely and Greg Cox from the Basingstoke Community group Drum Runners. For those of you who are not familiar with David and his work the electronic instrument programmed and played by him and some of the Time Spanners is called a Sound Beam.
Soundbeam Class Sessions with David Jackson at Meldreth Manor School, filmed and edited by Jess Cook on 20th & 21st March 2013. Our theme was ‘Journeys’. The final production was by Dorie Jackson. Meldreth Manor is a SCOPE School and all the children attended regular Soundbeam Sessions with David Jackson. There are open performances at Christmas and a Summer Music Festival involving local Primary children and other artists. This was David’s 18th year of Soundbeam at Meldreth.
The Endless Scream
WORDS AND ACTIONS: ALAIN O’CAIN
DAVID JACKSON: SAXOPHONES, FLUTES AND MACHINES
A collaboration with the artist Alain O’Cain, “The Endless Scream” is a roller coaster performance piece exploring the life and art of Norwegian artist Edvard Munch. A sell-out world premiere was given at the Burton Taylor Studio, Oxford on 18 January 2020: David used his unparalleled knowledge of soundbeam technolgies to create looped soundscapes as a backdrop to improvised saxophone/flute and spoken word/original poetry. We were joined in Oxford by Richard Leigh Harris (keyboard), George Haslam (reeds) and Steve Kershaw (double bass). “The Endless Scream” is set to visit new venues in ever-evolving formats in the coming years/months.

Unsere Zeit
“Unsere Zeit band is such a great idea and such relevant name for that time – and especially for our time right now. I had always been a fan of German psychedelic rock and was so disappointed that in spite of several great German Tours with Van der Graaf Generator and Charisma Bands in the 1970s, I had never come across ‘Unsere Zeit Band’. Finding out that they wanted to remake their song, ‘Ende vom Anfang’ – ‘End of the Beginning’ apparently inspired by ‘After the Flood’, it was clearly my ‘important duty’ to join the band for this important session. Anyway, Manfred and the wonderful film maker Ulli (Ulrich Haufe) seem to be delighted with my playing and recording so it is now a reality! It is a great song and I am very happy to recommend that you listen and watch – and please spread the important message and story!”
