Henry Cow Discussion

[Mr.Krautman]

What happened to the composers?

For pure improvisation you don't need "composers".
H.C back then was a mix of (mostly) improv. and (more or less) structured/composed "songs".
In today's H.N the composed parts are gone, all that still remains now is improv.
You may like it or not but it's a different band, even if some original members are still there.

[Mister Triscuits]

our mindset was mainly "Oh Wow! It's Henry Cow!"

Wait for their next reconfiguration as Henry Wow.

That's only if Dagmar rejoins. (probability factor: close to 0%)

... but I think Catherine Jauniaux could certainly fit well in the current lineup.

They could add a chamber orchestra and call themselves Henry Sow.

[Kcrimso]

They could add a chamber orchestra and call themselves Henry Sow.

They would make also a great Bowie Berlin era cover band Henry Low.

[Mister Triscuits]

Or they could all become monks; then they would be Henry Vow.

or incorporate themes from Chinese Philosophy as "Henry Tao"

[neuroticdog]

Isn't this the band that prostrates themselves in prayer every morning..?

...oh sorry that's Henry KowTow

Listening to some of their music they get a bit Henry Meow.
