Hey, is this thing still on? Smack, smack..
. Ok, we're back. Some pent-up random comments:
- I know next to nothing about but I am starting to think he is the long lost son of Terry Riley, in his pure keyboard pieces anyway, starting with Stereo Music for Farfisa Compact Duo Deluxe, Drum Kit.
I think I discovered him at the earlier this year.
- I found lots of interesting stuff at Tower Mountain View tonight including Jack DeJohnette's Music in the Key of Om. Not sure what it's about yet as I am still ripping (even if iTunes thinks the one, long track is Morton Feldman's String Quartet).
And for all my analog legacy tendencies, I always rip before listening.
- Speaking of Tower, a big sign on the outside indicates will open a branch in the soon-to-be-vacated store. For those who don't know Rasputin, it's like a scruffier, smaller version of Amoeba.
The Berkeley Rasputin is reasonably good, I've found some good stuff at the San Francisco version even if the elevator requires an attendant, the one in San Jose is so-so, the one in Newark is not so good, and to be honest, I have no idea where in the Bay Area one might find Pleasant Hill. Still, for those of us who prefer to browse in analog, it's a nice surprise.
- I hadn't thought of in awhile.
- My William Duckworth recommendation for would be Imaginary Dances. This idea and the previous post ultimately via Kyle Gann.
- points out Peter Greenaway's Four American Composers series is up on ubuweb.
- Radiohead's Everything in Its Right Place on that still sounds cool.
- Gable families , all hundred or so of us.
