Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from July 2, 2015 Favoriting

Flash Strap's avatar View Flash Strap's profile Favoriting

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

Aw, thanks! -- Library compositions ... perfect soundtrack, cuz I've got a date with the couch and a book about the history of electronic music

Mark Brend's The Sound of Tomorrow: How Electronic Music Was Smuggled into the Mainstream, and it's terrific! Not far into it, tho ... Did you know that Mark Twain was the first subscriber to an electronic music show?

Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:21pm

Here's a brief bit about it online. It doesn't tell you, though, that Twain actually subscribed to -- was the first subscriber to -- the service, which was sent out over the telephone line: blogs.courant.com...

that is INSANE
i have much learning to do on this subject

("It" being Twain and electronic music, not the book.) Speaking of electronic music ... loving the first few tracks tonight!
Avatar 7:24pm
Flash Strap:

man, now i wish i was playing some more stately electronic music for ya, Gary. This is all on the edge of chintz and in the midst of the 80's sound. Though much of it is very good. justseems like you need some bebe barron or something. Morton Subotnick
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:27pm
melinda:

Maybe Twain would have liked 80s chintz.
Avatar 7:29pm

he would have liked it more than he liked either Native Americans or American Imperialist projects, but the rest is a history-mystery

this is probably a dull question, but have you seen Z? I love that movie
Avatar 8:07pm
Flash Strap:

expanding on that, has anyone seen any other Costa-Gavras films? I've only seen Z but need to get crackin' on the rest
  8:08pm
Yiannis:

One of the greatest films ever made,funny thing is that these films are never played on Greek TV
Avatar 8:09pm
Flash Strap:

Oh, i bet not. totally agree on it being among the absolute greatest
Avatar 8:12pm
Flash Strap:

As far as revolutionary cinema, it's cream of the crop. Right next to Battle of Algiers. And I feel like Wages of Fear belongs in there
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:12pm
melinda:

Missing is a very good Costa-Gavras film. The only one I've seen, actually, as a kid in the 80s. I've been meaning to re-watch it.
  8:13pm
Yiannis:

See also "The Missing",i liked also one of his recent films titled "Eden in West"

You probably talked at the very beginning about what these library compilations are, but I think I missed it. What are they? How were they sold? Packaged? Etc.?
  8:21pm
Yiannis:

See Friedkin's"Sorcerer" its a remake of Wages of Fear no matter how sacrilegious it sounds i thinknits better than the original
Avatar 8:22pm
Flash Strap:

well, I can't agree with that exactly, but Sorcerer is one of my favorite films of all time. I just think Wages of Fear is like beyond-level genius and actually feels like it could puncture the capitalist beast. A subversive, dangerous quality that i don't think Friedkin's has, for all its brilliance

Hey I found your Master's thesis on Exoticism. I hope to read it soon.
Avatar 8:51pm

Yeah, most of these are entirely obscure unless you care enough about library music to learn these guys by name and learn their styles and all that.
Avatar 8:54pm
Flash Strap:

knock yourself out, WD! let me know if it holds up to external scrutiny. I tried to make an art of it, but it is also very research based. it lives between two worlds, likely inadequate in either. i like it though

Hey Rev. Turnip! I did not know that you did not know. I guess it was an unknown unknown and not a known unknown? But now it's a known! Or is that a known known? And can space-dwelling sounds ever really be fully known? Or are they only half-known half-knowns? I must now slap some chickens.
