Zappa did some interesting things. The whole album Lumpy Gravy is really one extended musique concrete piece. Some very nice short pieces on the Uncle Meat Album, and, of course, the infamous Mothers of Prevention piece where Zappa twists his 1985 Senate testimony into a wonderful collage of noise.

I always thought 'Poeme Electronique' a bit too primitive-sounding in terms of timbre and overall flow to spark my interest. And this is not a question of technology, since other pieces of the same period (Xenakis' 'Concret PH', Maderna's 'Notturno' and 'Syntaxis') are quite interesting. Discussing what is it that attracts me... My listening criterion is essentially timbral. If the sounds are interesting, then I proceed to evaluate if they are 'composed' in an interesting way, i.e. presented in an interesting sequence. So, basically what attracts me, even in orchestral music, is *sound*, both in isolated and combined contexts. Other details for specific works are less identifiable or would require dissecting them for a proper enumeration.

One of the new pieces I mentioned was Christopher Bailey's Duude. I heard this in an auditorium that was much bigger than the crowd. People were in the middle and the main speakers were set at 180 degrees to us about halfway between the edge of the audience and the far walls, so the sound was quite spacious. The piece is about 10 minutes long and uses mostly fairly straight samples of everyday objects, but so rapidly butt spliced and strangely juxtaposed that each sound had no context but what surrounded it. I don't often laugh out loud at music (no words) but did several times in this piece--the unexpected juxtapositions of sounds that would never occur together in nature. So much of this music has a seriouness problem that this quality was most refreshing. Another quality of the piece was its controlled chaos. I always felt Bailey knew exactly where he was going with every sound, even if I didn't. It had a strong internally consistent logic but with an out of control luge ride quality to it. The composer was there and bowed to us in his faded Grateful Dead tee shirt. -- David Mooney dmooney@city-net.com "Opaque melodies that would bug most people" (Frank Zappa) http://www.city-net.com/~moko/ --> RealAudio at last! <-- ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 4 Jan 1999 20:46:56 -0400 Reply-To: Electronic Music Discussion List Sender: Electronic Music Discussion List From: Jacky Schreiber Subject: Re: Tape Music MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----Mensaje original----- De: David Mooney Para: EMUSIC-L@AMERICAN.EDU Fecha: Domingo, 03 de Enero de 1999 03:50 p.m. Asunto: Re: Tape Music >Jacky Schreiber wrote: > >> >Hmm..If by "tape music" you mean strictly cut and splice of physical tape, >> >I'd have to go with Poem Electronic and Stockhausen's Kantakte as well.

A few months ago I completed a first attempt at recording. I know this isn't a contribution to any topic at hand, but I wanted to take a few bytes to express my thanks and appreciation for the list and its members over the last couple of years. It's great to have you all as resources and in some cases, virtual mentors. There is no teacher like experience and you can't get advice and experience of this quality from most books or other self-training. Even when the lists haven't been of any technical assistance, sometimes it's refreshing to read and converse with people who have been where you've been or are just beginning the journey themselves. I'd be interested in trading discs through the mail with anyone else who has a full-length recording. I hope soliciting this sort of trade doesn't offend the list charter's ban on promotion of one's own works. It is no longer my best work; I guess as long as you're developing as a person your work takes on a certian immediate obsolesence. I hesitate to let it represent me, but although imperfect, much of it says what it was intended to say as best as I could say it at the time. Most of the material is around 2-3 years old and was released to friends and a few musicians. Thanks again to everyone and a happy new year, Jeremy McDermaid ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 5 Jan 1999 15:38:07 PST Reply-To: Electronic Music Discussion List Sender: Electronic Music Discussion List From: Ain Soph Aur Subject: Re: "Popular" E-music recommendations, anyone? MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain well, first off, to get a good idea of whether or not you want to pursue investing money in a cd by aphex or orbital, you might want to try and find some songs by them on the net in the Mp3 format. i know there are quite a few songs out there by those particular artists that you could download and listen to for free. another place to find good electronic music is dj sets. you can listen to different dj sets at these web sites for free: http://www.hyperreal.org/ http://www.beatbox.com/ i am sure there are alot more sites than that, but those are the first ones that came to mind. the unfortunate thing about dj sets is that you never usually know who the individual artists are on the records they are spinning. another good site for electronic music is: http://www.stitch.com/ happy hunting. i am sure you will find something to your taste on one of these sites. _______________________________________________________ Get your free, private email at http://mail.excite.com/ ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 6 Jan 1999 00:21:00 EST Reply-To: Electronic Music Discussion List Sender: Electronic Music Discussion List From: Rmachine1@AOL.COM Subject: Re: "Popular" E-music recommendations, anyone?

Well, Orbital has an ear for catchy hooks... their SAINT soundtrack stuff was lovely. Their IN SIDES double album is available in at least two forms: one has a 2nd CD with the SAINT mixes on it, the other has a very long (30 min.?) version of their single "The Box". I don't know a lot about Richard D. James (aka Aphex Twin, Polygon Window, and a number of other pseuds), but I own two APhex Twin records: SELECTED AMBIENT WORKS (both volumes). They're of interest because Vol. 1 is "Ambient" in the modern sense, with rhythms and fairly involving timbres, and Vol. 2 is "Ambient" in the sense originally intended by Brian Eno, very textural and backgroundish but quite good. Hard to say which I like better. The Orb is another famous band in this vein; their output is IMO quite uneven, but some of it is amazing. My personal favorites are their first record, ADVENTURES BEYOND THE ULTRAWORLD, which has the silliest title ever given to a hit single on it, and POMME FRITZ, their very odd "little album." And speaking of Orbisms, there's William Orbit/Strange Cargo, whose five albums are well worth giving a spin. If you want to laugh like a loon for an hour, get THE WORLD OF TOMORROW by Komputer, a British band that sounds more like Kraftwerk than Kraftwerk. I nearly shat myself laughing the first time I heard it. Great, great stuff. Almost as funny: anything by the Moog Cookbook. Another guy to listen to is Mixmaster Morris, aka The Irresistable Force. His two records (FLYING HIGH and GLOBAL CHILLAGE) are very nice. Also good, if IMO VERY uneven: Future Sound Of London. They have five albums out now (including one recorded as Amorphous Androgynous), and I find it either lovely or excruciating depending on my mood. If you want dancey stuff, start with the recently re-released ACCELERATOR and the extended disc of its big single PAPUA NEW GUINEA (featuring a snippet of Dead Can Dance, unedited but placed in a totally alien context that's very cool). That's off the top of my head. I'm sure I could think of more. Including the music released by me and a number of other people on this list. mike -- "Can we please distinguish between potential and usability?"

The "Berlin School" might be interesting to check, i.e. Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, etc. Even if many of these musicians have a lot in common with Prog-Rock and the so-called Kraut-Rock. There's also a lot of new-agey stuff out there, of which I enjoy a small fraction, but it is mainly what is assumedly influenced by the berlin school folks mentioned above. While in Berlin, let me mention what is for me the best "non-academic" emusic this side of the ocean: Propeller Island. Bordering on avant-garde, ambient, noise and whatnot, this guy has the most interesting sounds and textures electronic-wise. But what is exactly what you mean by pop-emusic?

FYI for grins, the album also comes with (if you can find it anymore; ah yes, they sell it on their web site at http://www.negativland.com under "Negativmailorderland") a map of Contra Costa County (California) with annotations (this forms the "cover"), a sandwich baggie of mulch (or grass, depending on the time of year that it was packed), "AND A BUMPER STICKER THAT SAYS....... .....no other possibility." -- Ben
