Banned Rehearsal 437 - Isaac E, Karen Eisenbrey, Keith Eisenbrey, Anna K, Aaron Keyt, Neal Kosály-Meyer [November 1996]
waiting for the right door to come around
 |
| Neal, ca 1996 |
Neal Sax Keith Guitar Aaron Violin or Anna Violin
big squeeeeeek toy wailing and shredding (shredding in our own way)
big sax sound we hack at and scrape at
rather a battlefield of standing waves
(more a working-at-things session than a presentation-ready session)
First: ascertain the exact contours of our present argument
Next: compose together a chord - for want of a better word - a harmony perhaps - precisely in the
temperament of the contours of our present argument
gets quiet down to the hiss
and moving about put the baby on the back
barely whistling
Banned Rehearsal 625 - Karen Eisenbrey, Keith Eisenbrey, Anna K, Isabel K, Neal Kosály-Meyer [December 2001]
frog marimba wash tub bass piano tiny plunk
discuss in prose paragraphs amidst all these drums
but because it was a thicket of distances these new ones enfold the old ones
layered pasts layered in layered presence
zither drone drumming AM radio am speaking to you from a great distance
FM radio am here with you in your room
drum beating makes a name for itself in this rather hot playback
Isabel protospeaks
Hypernova - Brad Anderson [from Dark Energy - Interstellar Pianos]
an opera or the entracte for the Hyperprog Band of LEGEND!
wanders close to Nancarrow through the basement watercloset back of a famous minimalist's seedy beginnings
Gradus 191 - Neal Kosály-Meyer - Neal Kosály-Meyer [April 2011]
dynamic range and its echoes
watch your fingers
might get chopped
Arsenic & Lace - Strange Like Us [from Strange Peeps]
Mixed thick with snarl and c'mere baby
freak flag freakflagfly freak flag freakflagfly (repeat)

Ornamentfarbenmelodien
each and every element of texture both homogeneous - to easily fit together - and granular, specific, high-definition - to curve just so
on multiple scales
Partita in B-flat Major - J. S. Bach - Gunther Hasselmann
proceeds in a series of direct lines
only wending with friction or drag of mode and dissonance
living to break free
offset lines drag each other
but still direct
looking ahead
the Sarabande's stumbling ornaments balance perfectly
O Death Where Is Thy Sting - Rev. J. M. Gates [from Anthology of American Folk Music]
near to singing in tongues
cooperating independencies
Pastures of Plenty - Woody Guthrie [from Columbia River Collection]
us migrants. US migrants.
must always be free (not the migrants, the pastures)
more land reform propoganda
yowza!
for choreographed singing
as for Broadway, or as a demo for a Variety TV Spectacular
Ain't She Sweet - The Beatles [from Beatles Anthology Volume 1]
eyes on the prize burning bright
Ninety-Nine And A Half Won't Do - Wilson Pickett [collected from Dave Marsh's Heart of Rock & Soul]
the pitch qualia of the bass line is obscured, or given a specific index, by the kick drum (which is huge)
Unnamed Track 3 - Tillicum Junior High School Band, Bob Runyan, director [on March 3, 1971, from my mom's tape]
pretty sweet horn solo. cornet, trumpet, flugel?

Symphony of Sorrowful Songs (#3) - Gorecki - Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, Antoni Wit
count to 3
nest it
slow and fugueish
A.H. in the dark
or a clownless Shostakovitch
Pachelbel's Canon with depression
narrow, bound
the voice enters singing what might be, might as well be, partitions of the identical close stepwise counterpointing texture stuff
all frame
no mona lisa
why do I so mistrust the politics of this?
Is it possible to hire people to put themselves through this?
interminabularity to the max, man
grinding to an eternal halt
oh boy a coda
In Session at the Tintinabulary

Gradus 257 - Neal Kosály-Meyer
distances unbridged
left distant
drift off
singular light source
like morning
