  • @greg - My wife & I recently watched A Hard Days Night along with Ferry Cross The Mersey with the late Gerry Marsden on one of the oldie channels. I must say it sure brought back a flood of memories. Here's someone else I'm sure you're familiar with.

  • Round About Ingletwist
    Ingletwist is the name I gave to nonense texts based on the sounds of the English language, in analogy to Onderlands (language of the Underlands), my invented parallel language to Dutch.
    This is a piece composed from results of a workshop I did in December, 2014 with students of the University of Maine, Farmington, and a few from Umaine, Orono.
    Faculty members Gustavo and Gaelyn Aguilar helped facilitate this and participated as well.
    Students wrote short sound poems using a small number of letters (such as the letters of their first name or their hometown), to be performed as solos or in smaller or larger groups. In addition to that there were improvisations in various different structures.
    At a few points computer voices (speaking Ingletwist as well) and some instrumental sounds were added.

    Based on recordings made December 5, 2014 at IMRC of the University of Maine, Orono, by Duane Shimmel. A version in 5.1 surround sound was mixed as well, but never released.
    from Golden Ten, released December 4, 2020
  • @confused - yes I saw him play probably around 1970 as a solo artist and then again a couple of times with Pentangle, again early 1970s

    Well worth revisiting.

    I recorded the sound of one single buddha machine at 96 kHz, using a state of the art A/D converter. The recording contains audio information up to 48 kHz, which makes it possible to transpose the loops down and expose otherwise inaudible hidden details. The pieces on this CD have been created by granulating, filtering, pitching and layering either the original loops, or new loops which were re-assembled out of parts of the originals. Most pieces are based on one single source loop. The pieces as they live within my computer are set up as continuously permutating structures and theoretically could go on forever, just as the loops do within the buddha machines.
    ETA, there are two live versions for free download at the bottom of this page: https://www.roberthenke.com/concerts/layering_buddha.html Looks like I might have a few hours of layered buddha machines ahead of me.

    COLOSSEUM was one of the pivotal progressive bands that emerged in the second part of the Sixties. In '68 the founding members were drummer Jon Hiseman, tenor sax-player Dick Heckstall-Smith and bass player Tony Reeves, later joined by Dave Greenslade (keyboards), Dave Clempson (guitar) and Chris Farlowe (vocals). Their music is a progressive mix of several styles (rock, jazz, blues) with lots of sensational solos and captivating interplay.
    This album brings together the best of their radio broadcasts. Comprising both studio and live recordings that have been newly mastered. This album captures the band at the height of its powers with each member providing virtuoso performances throughout.

    I can't believe that I'm watching a coup take place in Washington.  A delusional despot has incited his followers to overturn the election and no doubt he will not take responsibility for this cowardly act.

    I still think these guys from Switzerland were one of the best post-rock bands.
  • Truly unbelievable, seeing insurrectionists smash out windows because of a fantasy story fed to them by Trump. 1 more person dead, so far, on top of all those co-vid deaths that he's responsible for.

    Now, I'm reminded as a Dylan fan, I still stuck with him during the very lean Self Portrait years and certainly missed the poetry I came to expect after the gems of the 60's. I recall things picking up mid 70's. 

    There's Zero chance Trump can ever redeem himself for what he's caused.

    A new release from Porya Hatami. This one is based on this 1979 incident in which a photograph of Iranian soldiers executing Kurds in a field won the Iranian photographer a Pulitzer. The cover art is a painting based on the photo. The music is dark and haunting, brilliant but not easy to listen to, and feels like exactly the right kind of listening after a day of presidentially endorsed white nationalist violence.

    Most disturbing and incomprehensible that so many people seems to believe everything that comes from a raving lunatic.

    Distracted and rattled today, trying to get grounded with a bit of Blakey and friends. Recorded with Lee Morgan, Wayne Shorter & Bobby Timmons in 1961 but not released until 1969 ?!?!?

  • Pretty much just faux-Bill Basinski.


  • Well, you could have had this on a quadrophonic LP back in 1973, or for that matter on 8-track


  • I did (on album) and my mom had the 8-Track!
