    Something a bit more main stream than the last few albums above!

    The Savage Rose history goes back 50 years in danish music history.

    In the early days The Savage Rose was:
    Thomas & Anders Koppel (the sons of the danish composer, Herman D. Koppel)
    Alex Riel, Flemming Ostermann, Jens Rugsted and Annisette Koppel (the wife of the late Thomas)

    Annisette's voice is as strong and powerful as it was 50 years ago

    Vivaldi Le Quattro Stagioni The Four Seasons
    I was really unsure whether I could justify buying another Four Seasons to add to my pile, but this one is really pleasing. Not as fiery as the recent Italian versions, which tend to be my go-to versions, though far from apathetic. I am not sure I could put my finger on what I mean by it, but it has a strong musicality of its own. Glad I went for it.

    Steve Reich Drumming
    And I am now wondering whether I need to consider buying the Colin Currie version too...
    ETA: Oh, who am I kidding? There's a booster sale on.

    You must you must . . . !

    Speaking of  Steve Reich:

    Multigrid example in Kyma.
    @rolandkuit - Kyma

    Granular Phase differences. The midi at the end is modulated by a Random Walk to the Midi Time Index.

    Piano Phase is a minimalist composition by American composer Steve Reich, written in 1967 for two pianos (or piano and tape). It is one of his first attempts at applying his "phasing" technique.


  • You must you must . . . !

    I did :-)

  • Halftribe - Shells
    Blissfully devoid of beats.
  • @Germanprof I promise you my ears/brain or whatever's between them will find a beat in there somewhere.

    I realize it's the lowest-risk investment ever, but how is that Dewtone bonanza, for those of you have been living with it?
  • edited April 2018
    I am two thirds of the way through listening to the Dewtone catalog. I really like about a quarter to a third of it, and another third is quite enjoyable if kind of forgettable, and I am deleting about a third. So still a great deal.

    Personally I like the more purely ambient stuff and the more dubby things; some of it has techno beats, and I don't find some of those very interesting. I think I'll end up with maybe half a dozen albums that I seek out again by name plus a bunch of quite pleasant background listening. The ambient ones tend to be more floaty pads kind of stuff than microsound/textured stuff. All in all I've had fun plowing through it. YMMV

    Rayuela by Miguel Zenon  Laurent Coq


    I'd often wondered where the photos on the cover were taken and their relevance. I recognise the bottom row as likely to be Paris, but not those at the top. So  my quick research, mainly Wikipedia, shows the album is based upon a novel by an Argentine author, Julio Cortazar, and it is set mainly in Paris and Buenos Aires. Rayuela means Hopscotch in English. Well, I've learnt something this morning!

    Love this set.

    Prof, thanks for the Dewtone rundown. I liked the one you posted yesterday

    Youre Driving Me Crazy

    The third new Van Morrison album in less than a year. This is very much jazz orientated with Joey Defrancesco and members of his band. Like the last two albums it includes covers of standards and some reinterpretations of earlier Van Morrison songs. It was apparently recorded in just two days, amazing by today's standards.

    Vivaldi Concerti per violoncello II Vivaldi Edition
    My decision way back that I wanted the RV number at the start of each track's track name ID tag, instead of in the middle where the label always puts it, must have cumulatively cost me quite a lot of hours by now.
    (Do other people really remember which of the 500+ Vivaldi concertos "Concerto per violoncello in fa maggiore" is without being able to see the RV number? I really can't navigate Vivaldi without a spreadsheet.)
