This may be just a regular, slightly different Brazilian album for those who know nothing about Jocy de Oliveira, but if you, like me, grew up knowing her as one of Brazil’s great electronic experimental music composers, this album will come as a slight shock.
All sounds are composed from a NASA Atlas V recording.
The
Atlas V family, which includes the flight-proven Atlas V 400 and 500
series, are the latest evolutionary versions of the Atlas launch system.
Atlas V uses a standard common core booster™ (CCB), up to five strap-on
solid rocket boosters (SRB), an upper-stage Centaur in either the
Single-Engine Centaur (SEC) or the Dual-Engine Centaur (DEC)
configuration, and one of several payload fairings (PLF). A three-digit
(XYZ) naming convention is used for the Atlas V 400 and 500 series.
This recording is to celebrate one year NASA’s mission OSIRIS-REx.
The
OSIRIS-REx was launched on 8 September 2016. It has been traveling for
more than a billion kilometers though space to grab a sample of dust
from the asteroid 101955 Bennu. On board a chip containing art from
Earth. NASA is hoping to find the origins of this universe in these
molecules. The OSIRIS-REx will take the sample and send it to Earth in
2021. The chip containing art will stay on the probe. On this chip works
of sound art and sound research of the composer-sonologist Roland Kuit.
The OSIRIS-REx will stay in space as a time & art capsule. This
work is a journey and an ode to the rocket Atlas V.

Another piece of the Hubro evidence... also from last Friday's you know what. A lush percussion feast from the Norwegian drummer that still manages to put melody front and centre. Recommended as they say.
Well, time to get into the spirit of the season and head back to a much simpler time. My sons' first read along record. I can see it all over again now. I sure couldn't have imagined there would be a time we would not be spending it with them. Oh well, can't dwell on that. Back to happy thoughts! Charles M. Schulz 1978 A Charlie Brown Christmas ...
New works for oboe etc....dedicated to Noah Creshevsky - dear friend and
wonderful composer who just passed away at the end of 2020 just as
these pieces were being finished - he will be missed.
John Oswald is best known as the creator of the Plunderphonics genre, an appropriative form of recording studio creation
which he began
unfolding in the late ’60’s. This got him in trouble with, and also
garnered invites from major record labels and musical icons. In the
early ’90’s he began, with three commissions from the Kronos Quartet, to
compose in what he calls the Rascali Klepitoire.
Well, my parents didn't have very many records, but as a 7 year old I sure remember this. Honestly, I don't think it matters who delivers the song, it's the feelings they inspire. I love Christmas tunes and it's still in pretty good shape after 61 years. Pat Boone 1959 White Christmas
I still remember my Dad telling me "you never touch the grooves, only the edges" and it was a pretty big deal when I was allowed to put it on the old Zenith hi-fi. It also played 78s and 45s of which my oldest brother kept the 78s and I got the rest. Mario Lanza 1959 Lanza Sings Christmas Carols

It must be about 50 years since I last heard this and it's still a terrific listen.
