Nils Frahm, Felt ( playing it in the background while teachers discuss in groups).
My journey home starts with a midnight flight to Melbourne, getting in at 6 a.m. Ugh.
Thanks, Craig. In Sydney airport, it's 4:30 a.m. by the last time zone I adjusted to, 6:30 in Sydney, had about an hour's sleep, listening to Bunk Johnson.
ETA, wait...I am actually in Melbourne, not Sydney. Sydney's next. Oh well, it's early.
Reposting from the classical N&N thread Nov 11th 2013: Flutist Claire Chase playing Steve Reich, Marcos Balter, Alvin Lucier, Philip Glass, Mario Diaz de L
Richard Crandell & Masumi Timson - Pacific Bridge
Delightful duets for Koto and Mbria. Recommended. Link is to the bandcamp stream, can be purchased cheaper elsewhere, including emusic.
An album of solo instrumentals on an obscure bass instrument that was only played in one country by a musician who shares a name with the world's most famous Goth and whose program comes from an archive of obscure, anonymous compositions? This is a wonderful album.
Philippe Petit - The Kookaburra
To my ear this last one in the Birds of a Feather series and the first, by Porya Hatami, are two of the best. This one is brilliant.
@BT, you got me curious about the famous Goth, and five minutes of googling didn't get me there. Theodoric? Alaric? Or some recent musician dressed in black?
Thanks, bremble and Plong. Busy downloading and retagging the Twelve Classic Albums collection into the separate albums (for me one of the fun parts of these big collections - makes it feel much more like 12 albums).
The Art Pepper Catalog does not agree with the rest of the internet about the track list of Just Friends. Or maybe it's just not listing by album.
GP: Yes, the lead singer of The Cure. I can't take credit for making the connection: eMu's rec engine spat out a bunch of eighties Goth and Dark Wave.
Just finished gaming:
A "deck building" game that puts the theme of the collapse of the Roman Empire into space. Build fleets, organize troops, conquer worlds, repeat, until you take on the central systems of the old regime. Very fun.
Ah, I see. I think it was the capital G that made me go looking for something more historical.
NP:
To Rococo Rot - Instrument
Thanks for the heads up on this BN. Would have liked the first track better without the vocal. But then I tend generally to think vocals are a bad idea :-).
ETA: Track 6: what a robot jazz trio might sound like. Definitely liking the instrumentals better than the vocal tracks.
Comments
I figured out that this is a different version from the one on the Bigger Bach Set:
Little Big Box; English Chamber Orchestra, Johannes Somary, 1977
Bigger Bach Set; Chamber Orchestra of Vienna State Opera, Mogens Woldike, 1959.
Then
Black Keys - El Camino

HAIM - Days are Gone
Craig
Infinity Frequencies - Computer Afterlife (2014)
Meat Puppets - II (1984)
Kinda love this.
ETA, wait...I am actually in Melbourne, not Sydney. Sydney's next. Oh well, it's early.
Now why would I choose that title?
Sydney now.
Los Angeles.
Chicago next.

Now playing:
A JP rec. Thanks, JP.

Thanks for the reminder BT, I downloaded last week and have not played so far. Also, of course, thanks to Jonah
