OK, so a couple of weeks ago it occurs to me that the computer in one of my offices is getting old, and I wonder where it is in the replacement cycle. I phone our IT department and am eventually told that according to their records it was replaced last summer. Er, no. So they agree to get me a new one. So today I spend some time combing through the old C drive for things I might need to save, including music folders. I'm usually pretty good about taking things home if I DL them at work, but I saw an album by Ethan Rose that I couldn't remember coming up on iTunes. Sure enough, it is not on my home computer. So I get a free new album today, from Amiestreet. Very nice, too. (I notice the CD is to be had for under $2 on Amazon)

- I will definitely check Ethan Rose out. - Thanks !
Tasogare: Live in Tokyo - (12K 2011) Tasogare: Twilight. The light between day and night.
Live Recordings from:
Minamo
Sawako + Hofli
Moskitoo
Solo Andata
Taylor Deupree
"Recorded live on April 10th and 11th, 2010, Tasogare: Live in Tokyo documents the performances of five 12k artists at two temples in Tokyo, Japan. Komyoji Temple (April 10th) saw the first-ever performance in Japan by Australias Solo Andata, known for creating deep, textured music with found objects, homemade instruments and very little in the way of electronics or software tricks. The duo was joined by 12k veteran Sawako whose voice and delicate computer work were accompanied by guitarist Hofli and Moskitoo who always plays the line between experimentalism and abstract pop.
On April 11th, the 12k weekend moved to the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Jiyu Gakuen Myonichi-kan where Solo Andata performed again, this time with the improvisational beauty of the four-piece Minamo and label- founder Taylor Deupree whose travel-worn state musically played out in the most hushed and calming way.
Tasogare: Live in Tokyo represents the importance of recording and keeping documents of performances seen and heard around the far corners of the globe - a chance for many others to hear what went on a world away in live sets that cant, and wont be duplicated again.This edition also represents the adventures formed by artists connected by a label, sharing travels, food, photography, music and sleepless nights. It is the way in which each artist, in their own unique and completely different sounding way, contributes to a collective spirit."

"Sohrab managed to leave Iran late last year for Germany, where he appealed for political asylum having been interned in Brandenburg. This appeal has failed and he is trying to raise funds to appeal against this latest ruling.
If he fails, it is probable that Sohrab will be flown back to Iran and arrested at Tehran Airport... Europe is reassessing its policy to 'immigrants' on a daily basis, partly because of the rise of the political right, but also because of the influx of refugees from the 'arab spring'. The vast majority are being unceremoniously shipped back to their point of origin..."
Weird. I just double checked. If you search on the 7digital site itself, "Sohrab" turns up 250 similar artists, but not Sohrab, and a search for "A Hidden place" does not turn up the album. Your google strategy is obviously more effective.

After suffering through another listen of the latest Bon Iver this is a welcome respite.

Gonnella is an amazing fiddler. His are the best records of the "Scottish Baroque."

- Thanks for the heads up Germanprof . . .
Very interesting album that survives only from radio broadcasts recorded by an amateur enthuasiast or, as he would be called today, "music pirate."
