One New Year Resolution is to play at least four jazz albums, plus at least one from folk and World each week that I haven't played since I reinstalled iTunes on my new computer nearly two years ago.
Well, as I've been going through the alphabet once more, I find the only Albert Collins in my library were my GarageBand copies of some of my vinyl (which really weren't the best sound). At any rate, I see that Emusic still has 299 Alligator Records so I've decided to replace some vinyl with a booster pack starting here with the Ice Man - "The Master of the Telecaster". 1978 - Ice Pickin' 1980 - Frostbite 1981 - Frozen Alive! 1983 Albert Collins And The Icebreakers - Don't Lose Your Cool
F for Fake is a 1973 docu-fiction directed by Orson Welles. It is presented as a kind film essay on the ‘delicious lie’ of art, a variation on the relationship between the artist and his work, and the truth behind one of the world’s most notorious art forgers, Elmyr de Hory. From the film’s very beginning, the director promises that, “During the next hour, everything you hear from us is really true and based on solid facts”, but the film runs well over an hour… Welles talks about forgers, conjurors, and his own early days as a trickster. Moving from one story to the next, he manipulates the viewer, blending documentary imagery with his own film footage.
For this project, we have extracted all sounds other than Welles’s narration and reconstituted the film’s sound track by preserving the formal and temporal qualities of the master’s voice in its entirety.
Ingenious and funny or childish and stupid or dadaistic and pathological
insane or unhealthy and debauched, Grismannen can be any of those and
much more, even all at the same time. Grismannen is excremental music
for excremental people. Grismannen is music for the anal stage and moral
decay.
It's nice to revisit this album. Originally made for Impulse! Records in 1973, but not released then. It's now been released three times (2000, 2014 & 2019).
"Incredible 14xCD lavish box set, a 16+ hour compendium of the electronic music key works from one of the most important electronic composers of the 20th century complete with a 106 page book. Born between wars, Eliane Radigue’s musical journey began in the Paris studios of musique concrète OGs Pierre Schaeffer and Pierre Henry during the 1950s and 60s, experimenting with magnetic tapes, honing her craft in sound construction. But it wasn’t until the 1970s when Eliane moved to New York City — because as she said, “There were no synthesizers in Paris”— that many of her recorded works and beloved pieces were formulated. During this period, Eliane adopted the ARP 2500 modular synthesizer, a system that endured in her compositions through the 1990s despite radical technological improvements in electronic music. With this equipment, Radigue developed an unfolding of sound into a stasis that resembles the minimalists of her era but was nonetheless complex in its timbrel dynamics.
Radigue's music doesn't just have depth, it has narrative: it rises and falls; it dilates and contracts, utilizing pure sound rather than harmony for its development. Speaking of her music in general, Radigue said, “I am working with the perception of time.” This effect is displayed prominently in these works, whose extreme duration coupled with its tepid continuity slow time into molasses and reorients temporal reality."
Thanks for the Albert King reminder Confused. I saw him in the UK, probably mid 80s. A brilliant guitarist. I've got none of his work on iTunes, I'l check if emusic have anything.
Mum were an old favourite just catching up with a former member who plays a wide range of pieces here including Seikilos Epitaph which dates to about 100AD and is the oldest piece of composed / notated music known (it says here!)
Thence on to a sampler of music by an improv meet-up (The Horse Improv Club) that I used to be a regular at back when I got to more gigs... sorting my mobility out and getting to more gigs being a 2019 thing for me.
Until recently, one of the most substantial and significant pieces of the
minimalist repertoire was virtually unknown. Written in 1959 by Dennis
Johnson, November was purportedly six hours long as originally
conceived. La Monte Young, who knew Johnson while at UCLA in the late
50s, credited the piece for inspiring The Well-Tuned Piano. November
anticipated many trends in minimalist music in addition to its
prodigious duration: diatonic tonality, additive processes, and
repetition of small motives. It is beautiful, slow-paced, and
introspective, and was nearly lost entirely. Irritable Hedgehog and
Penultimate Press are proud to announce the first ever release of this
historically significant and thoroughly engaging work.
