Morning (from where I sit), all. Jon Rose is one of the artists featured in a movie by a buddy of mine, The Reach of Resonance: http://www.reachofresonance.com/ Well worth a viewing.
Avatar 12:10pm
Tony Coulter:

So, I should say that the "Bad Alchemy" comps are all over the place style-wise, from improv/noise to off-kilter pop.

Interesting, Dean! I'll take a look post-show. (Greets. too.)

We're fixing US 50, Fleep. Add another 2 1/2 hours.

Other featured artists: Miya Masaoki (on cockroaches and bees), John Luther Adams (music generated from the Arctic Circle), and Bob Ostertag (music and activism).

@ Dean: Is there footage of Jon Rose playing barbed wire fence?
Avatar 12:18pm
Tony Coulter:

Günter Müller is also in the group on now (Nachtluft)
  12:21pm
Dean:

Tony, yes! It is the core theme of the Rose portion. Steve Elkins, the filmmaker, devotes a lot of time to Jon Rose.

Ah, I have a Nachtluft CD. Forgot it was Muller.

Btw, the tape on now is the purplish one on the right.

Hola amigos! Congrats for your new cassette deck Tony! You could maybe consider a reel to reel for an special edition of tape hiss in the future!

Hola, Brueghel! And then there's 8-track hiss ... and clunk.

A cassette deck salvaged from former workplace sat around here quite a while before I tried, with great hope, to play something. But the Aiwa AD-6550 (made 1977-1981)...she won't move the tape. So sAD.
  12:51pm
Brueghel LeMoche:

This Loch Ness Monster song is gorgeous. There's a revival of that synth sound going on these days, no?

Heya still b/p! I weep for yer fallen Aiwa.

Tony Coulter:

@ Brueghel: Yep, the kids can't get enough of those drums machines and analog synths.

those 80's synth are to music what art-deco is to architecture

I believe the belts are the weakest link, they dry up and snap. Same with old VCRs.
I have a terrific cassette boom box that no longer works but I can hear the motor running just fine.

Dug the heck out of vol. 7. All over the place is basically where my mind's been all day, so this has matched up nicely.
Avatar 12:57pm

In case anyone was confused: the H.N.A.S. track that ended the last tape is only 7 second long.

Glad to hear it, James!

The cassette on now is the green one, with the lovely Deborah Jaffe (of Master/Slave Relationship) on the cover.

I think they were sampling Judy Ongg on that song, could be?

I only have one lovely tune of her "Miserarete" taken from a cassette! pizzicato5 compilation. I think it was her on that patchinco song

As is no doubt glaringly obvious by now, everything on this side of the cassette is Japanese. The other side is from all over.

I'm not hearing "hibernation." I'm hearing, "Hi! Turkey sh*t."

Maybe that's the secret subliminal message.

wow this limpe fuchs thing rocks! btw the japanese part just reminded me a scene of the movie i saw yesterday night, kurosawa's "the bodyguard". where a group of geishas are playing an exotica piece, really fast and rockin' . Actually the soundtrack of that movie is really nice

Sorry to hear about your new audio-hostile environment. Maybe you can get wireless headphones that look exactly like ears?

Thinking back, I guess what I saw in a bar was a hybrid of Dog as Master and Master/Slave Relationship, as it was the duo of Hal McGee and Debbie Jaffe.
