Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from August 25, 2022 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.

This is new to me. Walter (now) always intuited the best way to meld the new science with workable existing musics, in ways that brought out new things to hear in the the original and the new. Synthesis is more ways than one.

Oh , true...what am I saying? It's this hot humid fetid swamp of an evening on this end. I've been stunned all day. The gamelan is perfect. All I need now is lizards on the walls.
Avatar 8:09pm
Flash Strap:

yeah totally agree - interestingly, the album before this one (Digital Moonscapes) is easily my least favorite, but in hindsight it's clear she was building up to this, a majestic experiment in alternate tunings using digital synths
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:12pm

The pure tones and harmonics of real gamelan bowls carry over well into the synthetic world
Avatar 8:14pm

yeah, shockingly well! she put so much care into those tones too

Avatar 8:38pm
Flash Strap:

also brings to mind Rufus Harley of course, but he often seems more concerned with making bagpipe "fit" into a jazz ensemble than using it to expand the actual form of the piece... though I think Re-Creation of the Gods does start to get there, among some of his other odd works
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 8:42pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

What I wonder about is how the intervals of notes in the fingering of the stops on bagpipes might lend themselves to Jazz - or not. Of course - Jazz is so much about taking instruments & expanding their capabilities for lack of better words... Same for how their reeds work with drones - &tc. I always think if them as kind of like Organs - rightly or wrongly... One isn't using breath control whatsoever - rather the bladder... Have a friend who's quite accomplished with Irish Pipes for Trad playing - & I know he kind of bends notes - just *I guess* with subtleties in how the fingers partially / gradually cover the stops...
