That began to change in the '80s, when a meaning number of inclination musicians began exploring the possibilities of free improvisation and raw classical forms. Fred Frith is one of the more striking. Co-founder of the subway system British dance band Henry Cow in 1968, Frith affected to the U.S. in the late '70s, where he began associations with such New York-based experimental musicians as cellist Tom Cora, harper Zeena Parkins, saxophonist John Zorn, and percussionist Ikue Mori. Frith lived in New York for 14 retentive time; some of his well-known ventures in that sentence included Massacre (with Bill Laswell and Fred Maher), Skeleton Crew (with Cora and Parkins), and his sextet Keep the Dog. In the '80s, Frith's compositional activities increased; he began piece of writing for dance, movie show, and theatre, and for such ensembles as the Rova Saxophone Quartet, Ensemble Moderne, Asko Ensemble, and his own Guitar Quartet. Primarily known as an improvising guitarist, Frith has too performed on sea freshwater bass (with Zorn's Naked City) and shirk (with Lars Hollmer's Looping Home Orchestra). Frith has played on albums by the Residents, Brian Eno, Amy Denio, and René Lussier, to name just a few. Frith was the subject of Step Across the Border, a documentary film by Nicolas Humbert and Werner Penzels. By 2000, Frith was a professor of typography at Mills College in Oakland, CA, and continued to handout a bevy of albums including Eleventh Hour in 2005 and Carbohydrate Factory in 2007.
