The problematic process of developing a synoptic stance. How to be on all sides of the mountain at once. Sinew and bone. Gaping holes. Synthesis by assertion.
La Patti Negra - Orquestra Typicas - [from Alan Lowe's That Devilin' Tune]
One suspects more slippery rhythm back there than remains on the artifact.
Bambino - Grupo Bahianainho - [from Alan Lowe's That Devilin' Tune]
To be heard on foot, moving.

A fából faragott királyfi - Béla Bartók - London Symphony Orchestra, Antal Dorati
A caldron of bubbling forces transformed into a cartoon. What would be comic turns grotesque. The dire extreme has blotted out all else. Cruelty is the spectacle. The happily ever after seems ready to start the whole thing over a few octaves higher. I used to like this piece a lot. now I'm not so sure it's healthy.Concerto in C Major (#3) - Serge Prokofiev - Seattle Symphony Orchestra, Gerard Schwarz, Dickran Atomian
Innocuous in the sense of being stylistically sophisticated riffs that never stray past unquestioned assumptions about how music goes. From the linear we ne'er veer. The best parts are when it gets busy fussing with its own innards, going nowhere, twiddling its thumbs, crossing its legs, waiting for us to applaud.
All I Want Is That Pure Religion- Blind Lemon Jefferson - [from Goodbye, Babylon]
One-to-one music, rather than one-to-many. The size of a private meeting rather than of a public gathering.

Back to my duet project for awhile. This session is hollow-body electric guitar and drumset. I was having fun with lots of microphones, 6 tracks per part.
