The Profile

Borbetomagus is an American trio formed in 1979 in New York by Jim Sauter and Don Dietrich (saxophones) and Donald Miller (electric guitar). Renowned for blistering, high-volume free improvisation that merges free jazz with noise, they have remained an uncompromising force in experimental music.

New York-based trio formed in 1979; members are Jim Sauter, Don Dietrich, and Donald Miller. Barbed Wire Maggots was recorded in 1982 and released in 1983 as a 40-minute work split across two vinyl sides.

Two reviews frame Borbetomagus as a New York trio pushing free jazz into ferocious, noise-saturated terrain. Barbed Wire Maggots (recorded 1982, released 1983) is depicted as a single 40-minute suite of scouring saxophones and cacophonous guitar. One review exalts its ecstatic, uncompromising assault; another portrays it as a grand-guignolesque demolition of melody and technique. The result is polarizing, overwhelming, and defiantly avant-garde.
