The Melford/Brandis duo had a major presence in the downtown scene in the 80s.

I'll be listening in the resting chair, been up since very early and hey, there's an asteroid on it's way..

An asteroid, hmmm. That rates low on my list of global worries this week. But the resting chair sounds good to me.

I assume the playful child is Jane Ginsburg, now a professor of law at Columbia. Her younger brother, Jim, operates Cedille Records in Chicago, a purveyor of very fine classical recordings.

Early Shelley and early Zeena, just as they began to investigate electronics.

Prof. Schell! And Seattle had some major input into the NYC downtown scene as well.

Was Esperanza Spalding born in '86?

Wait a second. I get why this collaboration is rare, but why unheard? Was nobody in attendance?

ngh, we interrupt this workspace...
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 6:13pm
WR:

North Guinea Hills, i was thinking you would dig that track. Worth a relisten.

RE: unpacking who was doing what sound, interesting but at a certain point it is the group results that matter. Those there that day got to experience the creation. Being able to hear, repeatedly if desired, the recording we can relish what was created.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 6:17pm
david w:

Thanks, WR. I was also thinking that putting this into the public record, even if some details were lost, was of value. Gives us a chance to examine what happened and where it all went.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 6:19pm
WR:

My comment is a general truism for any recorded performance but resonated for me when I caught myself torn between deciphering and enjoying the general melee of sounds.

Here's where they let go.

Jeff Golick:

"unheard collaboration" reminds me of a phrase Jonathan Schwartz would use fairly often on his Sinatra programs: "never recorded," he would say, after playing...a recording. Hi.

Always dig Marclay.

Jeff! I'm just juggling so many unknowns here, grasping at terms and trying to be fair to the knowns.

Well, of course there are known knowns, etc etc. You know the rest. How are ya?

The built-in app playlist doesn't include the comment field, only song/artist/album.

I’ve been texting in multiple languages, so my phone is confused

I tried to do an interview in Mandarin today, unsuccessfully. I only know a dozen or so phrases. My linguistics failed me.

"Autocarrot", LOL. Is that an app for rabbits?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 6:47pm
david w:

Thanks, Jeff. I'm doing okay. Pretty upset about RBG, not a surprise but stings. And don't look now!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 6:48pm

ngh becomes more interesting week by week, and Ike never misses a cue.
  6:51pm
northguineahills:

@Ike: it was an autocorrect that word on my phone that just became an autocorrect after some time. So, now I just roll w/ it and spell it intentionally.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:51pm
Jeff Golick:

Stings indeed. It's hard to sense because of incremental shifts, but I think we're all under tremendous daily stress and strain. Cumulative body blows and minor mental breakdowns that leave us (or at least me) in a state somehwere between numb and quivering-like-a-violin-string.

And thanks david and Ruth. Almost done working. Some one told me to get a drink, I’m going to take them up on said advice.
