Ellen Fullman Change Of Direction

man, been checking her out on the important site, she is an insane woman playing a crazy instrument, i wonder if she had 4 arms

no but she has ten fingers and that seems to do fine.  Caught a great performance by her this past spring, she has an intricate score/tuning chart laid out all over the floor...

[Guy Birkin]

Stephen Christopher Stamper - Begin Anywhere (Runningonair)
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Axis: Bold As Love. Never really listened to this album before, for some reason. That 1st track is ace.
Taylor Deupree + Marcus Fischer - In a Place of Such Graceful Shapes has been bedtime choice for the past 2 weeks. Great stuff - wish I'd listened to the end more often, but usually asleep by then!

[Le Berger]

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Axis: Bold As Love. Never really listened to this album before, for some reason. That 1st track is ace.

Piece of trivia: "The first use of the flanging effect in stereo is credited to producer Eddie Kramer, who used the effect in the coda of Jimi Hendrix's "Bold as Love" (1967). Kramer admitted in an 1990s interview that he read BBC Radiophonic Workshop technical journals for ideas and circuit diagrams."

oh good. glad it showed up and also glad that you are enjoying it.

it feels like arctic/antarctic is really the perfect middle ground...  arctic leans more toward collected dust and antarctic is totally a precursor to monocoastal.

it's funny how it takes several years to start seeing how things slowly evolve from one sound into another.

the caretaker - patience (after sebald)

[Orphax]

Just "slept" on the cough for almost 4 (FOUR!!!) hours with a few albums on repeat :

Loveliescrushing - Chorus + 3 (LINE)
David Wells - Rojo (SiRiDisc)
Roy Montgomery & Grouper - Split (Self-Released)

Now before going to bed and sleep on it is turn for
Natural Snow Buildings - Chants Of Niflheim (Blackest Rainbow)

Looking forward to my listening day tomorrow. Gonna spin a lot of new vinyl and maybe listen some more new CD's.
But now a quick jump in my bed...make another 6 hours of sleep or so :-)

Today its a click away in the computer...how different things have become.

Another opening "ace" track is Funkadelic's "Maggot Brain". Some heavy stuff....

Idris Muhammed -  Power of Soul
A Winged Victory For The Sullen

[Le Berger]

Plenty different indeed, I wonder sometimes if things weren't so readily available and easy to use, would I be doing the legwork and experimentation to get there? If you guys know of a book re: history of the studio as a musical instrument, I'd be very interested. You catch bits and pieces of information left and right, but a comprehensive synthesis would be nice.

*What are you listening to?*
I've been on a gipsy guitar spree: Django, Stochelo Rosenberg, Dorado Shmidt, Bireli Lagrène, Stephane Wrembel, etc.
