when tclb was on, when i was checking in, i almost said "Jesse and 4.33 aficionados" -but decided it was too obscure, and maybe too stupid. then came on the John Kannenberg track.
wow! -did not know that either.
...thanks for the frogs. always good to hear frogs.
- i used to live with a gibbon so i know what they sound like. (someone with the surname, Gibbon. she was kind of an ape though.)
melinda i'm surprised, considering your musical explorations, to the extent i'm aware of.
it's a conceptual piece John Cage performed to an audience. he did not play anything at all and the point was for people to listen to and appreciate the ambiant sound. -basically. he did not inform them the point of this beforehand.
NO WAY melinda! Everyone has different knowledge and not everything is shared or obvious. Everyone's unaware of lots of great stuff, they just don't know that they're unaware of it.
i thought you were joking (hence my "ha!") ...but i don't get the jimmy carl black reference; so maybe it is actually i who's the true ignoramus of the group.
...oh well - at least i'm part of a group.
I'm not a Zappa aficionado(a?), but in my youth I had a copy of The Book of Rock Lists published by Rolling Stone, and I retained a lot of the names of musicians and bands. It would be years before I heard the music behind the band names like Ultimate Spinach and Lothar and the Hand People, but thanks to WFMU I now have.
Czukay said of this piece:
"It seems to me that certain types of albums almost create themselves. In such cases the composer is merely the conduit for a pre-existing energy waiting to be transformed into sound. My experience with La Luna was very much like that. The album (a single 45 minute track) is in many ways a product of something similar to the automatic writing techniques of the Surrealists. I had purchased a new sampler and began experimenting with the machine without reference to the instruction manual and filled the brain of the machine to its full capacity with 'sonic memories'. In the late hours of the evening the machine came to life and spoke! The recording you hear is the transcript of this transcendental conversation between man and machine.
La Luna plays well in large halls and temples - as an 'Electronic Night Ceremony' it is a universal contemplative hymn for the masses. Also, it is equally at home in your own living room after a lively evening out - it is the celestial code to your very own micro-cosmos."
Here's another great Czukay quote that Ghostly just quoted: “Inability is often the mother of restriction, and restriction is the great mother of inventive performance.
