Prima noutate, noul album Smashing Pumpkins:



"I'm happy to finally announce the plans for the new Smashing Pumpkins album.

Recording began yesterday, September 15th, 2009 on the new record which will be entitled 'Teargarden by Kaleidyscope'. The album will feature 44 songs, 4 of which are now being recorded. My desire is to release a song at a time beginning around Halloween of this year, with each new release coming shortly after until all 44 are out. Each song will be made available absolutely for free, to anyone anywhere. There will be no strings attached. Free will mean free, which means you won't have to sign up for anything, give an email address, or jump through a hoop. You will be able to go and take the song or songs as you wish, as many times as you wish.

We will however sell highly limited edition EP's (of 4 songs each times 11), and details of how those EP's will be made available are still being worked out. Because the songs themselves will be free, the EP's will be more like collectors items for the discerning fan who will want the art itself, along with the highest possible audio quality available. The EP's will be more like mini-box sets rather than your normal cd single. We may also offer other variations for sale, say for example a digital single with a demo version of a song. The commitment that is most important is the one I'm making to you: that the music of 'Teargarden by Kaleidyscope' will be available for free to everyone. All 44 songs: free for ALL.

When the entire album is finished, it will be compiled into a deluxe box set which will also be made available for sale. Those who have bought the EP's need not worry, as the box set will not be a recompilation of the limited edition pieces.

The story of the album is based on 'The Fool's Journey', as signified in the progress of the Tarot. It is my intention to approach this by breaking down the journey of our life here into four phases as made by these different characters; the Child, the Fool, the Skeptic, and the Mystic.

The music of 'Teargarden by Kaleidyscope' harkens back to the original psychedelic roots of The Smashing Pumpkins: atmospheric, melodic, heavy, and pretty.

I already have 53 songs written for the record, so I am quite confident that I already have much of the material that I would need to undertake such an extensive project. I am very committed to seeing this album through to its completion and very, very excited about the prospect of delivering new Smashing Pumpkins music to you in a unique and exciting way."

Billy Corgan

Could a Led Zeppelin reunion be in the works? Robert Plant has spoken with Glastonbury organizer Michael Eavis about performing at the festival in 2010, possibly with his old bandmates. “There’s place for me there,” he explained, “but I have no idea who with.”

Nu era "normal" sa vina si asta? Flamanzi sunt patronii astia de pretutindeni! Cati pot la nivel global sa cumpere ceea ce si-ar dori(orice marfa nu numai muzica...)? In loc sa scada pretul baga goange din astea.

Beck publica o piesa compusa in memoria lui Harry Partch, un compozitor de avangarda acum uitat. Se poate asculta aici:

http://beck.com/


Harry Partch was a composer of what is termed Microtonal music. He developed his own systems of tonality using frequencies and notes found between those in western traditions. He felt they could elicit emotions and reactions from the listener conventional tonality couldn't. He built his own proprietary instruments to play his work. Similar in the sound to instruments found in eastern music such as the koto, taiko, or gamelan, they are ultimately uncategorizable. He spent years traveling as a hobo during the depression and incorporated everyday speech into his melodic lines. He transcribed graffiti and used it as text. He is one of the great musical thinkers and innovators of the last century.

foarte fain.

^ Mda, bravo lu' Beck - era cazul, dupa ce formatia Radiocap a umplut internetul cu o piesa in memoria unui anume Harry Patch (deci nu Partch) acum vreo doua luni, facand ca orice google search dupa numele lui Partch de atunci incolo sa produca 1,999,999,999 de rezultate despre Cap de radio. Beah.

Harry Partch rulz.

OMG, pudicii si evlaviosii sa nu se uite (imagini explicite):

Mmm nu prea. In cazul asta, m-a deranjat doar cum un artist il poate eclipsa pe un altul de mai mare valoare prin forta pe care i-o da nivelul de popularitate. Si te face sa te gandesti cat de usor ii e cuiva ajuns celebru sa manipuleze opinia consumatorului de arta - sunt convins ca in momentul asta sunt mai multi cei care stiu cine a fost Harry Patch decat cei care au auzit de Harry Partch (desi primul a fost un cetatean anonim care s-a intamplat sa traiasca mai mult decat colegii lui de generatie, iar Partch a fost un tip genial, manufacturier de instrumente originale si compozitor ingenios, influent pentru multi dintre contemporani - ai lui si ai nostri). Asta nu inseamna ca Radiohead e naspa, desi pe mine nu ma incanta.

Acuma, la drept vorbind, daca scrii numele corect pe google iti apar rezultatele corecte, deci am exagerat - dar sugestiile de cautare incep cu Radiohead, iar pagina wiki despre Partch incepe cu "not to be confused with Harry Patch".

In alta ordine de idei, poate intereseaza pe cineva ca s-a reformat trupa ARK (un hibrid metalic norvegiano-american care a scos doua albume megafantastice in 2000-2001) si lucreaza din greu (sper) la un viitor album. Nu gasesc nici un link credibil despre chestia asta, dar John Macaluso (bateristul) s-a laudat ca au intrat in faza de scris piese acum cateva luni. Eu ii astept cu mare interes si va sugerez sa ascultati oricare dintre albumele mai vechi daca aveti toleranta la prog metal/hard rock/flamenco/un pic de jazz, ca sa deveniti interesati.

Holy crap cum suna I'm definitely interested.

"Burn the sun" l-am ascultat pe vremuri dar nu mai tin minte nimic

Simt aceeaşi furie lăuntrică de fiecare dată cînd dau search pe google sau pe youtube după Dave Murray şi găsesc un obscur chitarist heavy metal în mii şi mii de ipostaze. Apoi îmiaduc aminte şi adaug saxophone la criteriu.

Haide mai ca nu-i obscur - e chitarist la Iron Maiden, cum sa n-apara? Oricum, treaba cu Dave Murray e complicata, ca tot asa il cheama si pe bateristul de la Estradasphere/The Deserts of Traun, adica e complicata pentru el, ca e clar ca la el nu mai ajunge nimeni pe google.

La ARK tre sa fiti atenti daca incercati, s-ar putea sa vi se para cam cheesy, in mare parte datorita vocii - mie de pilda mi se pare cel mai tare vocal rock ever, altii nu-l suporta nici doua secunde. E acquired taste, si cere atentie.

Sigur Rós leader Jónsi Birgisson will release his upcoming solo album Go on March 23, 2010. The album, which features Birgisson singing in English instead of Icelandic or the made-up language he has used on Sigur Rós works, also includes Nico Muhly and members of the National, Riceboy Sleeps, and Múm.

Citat :

2010 will be a landmark year for John Zorn who promises 12 new CD releases-one every month! Included will be new music from The Dreamers, Moonchild and Alhambra, 3 new releases in The Book of Angels series, a major new studio composition dedicated to the Korean-American writer Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, a classical release featuring his acclaimed violin concerto Contes des Fées, the DVD release of his opera with Richard Foreman ASTRONOME, a ripping improvised duo recording with Fred Frith and undoubtedly several surprises. Most of the recordings are already completed and the release schedule set, so keep your eyes and ears open and expect a new Zorn release every 4th Tuesday of the month in 2010!

Asta va fi ori superextraincrefabulos, sau Rodriguez Lopez-ian.

Eu pariez pe prima, si va tin la curent, impreuna cu bibi.

E deja surprinzator ca Book Of Angels continua cu inca trei capitole. Iar The Dreamers e din seria Music Romance, poate vrea sa spuna new music din serie. (la fel cu Moonchild Trio)

About Orchestrion

Written by Pat Metheny

This project represents a conceptual direction that merges an idea from the late 19th and early 20th centuries with the technologies of today to create a new, open-ended platform for musical composition, improvisation and performance.

“Orchestrionics” is the term that I am using to describe a method of developing ensemble-oriented music using acoustic and acoustoelectric musical instruments that are mechanically controlled in a variety of ways, using solenoids and pneumatics. With a guitar, pen or keyboard I am able to create a detailed compositional environment or a spontaneously developed improvisation, with the pieces on this particular recording leaning toward the compositional side of the spectrum. On top of these layers of acoustic sound, I add my conventional electric guitar playing as an improvised component.

At least for me, this takes the term “solo record” into some new and interesting areas, somewhat recontextualizing the idea of what constitutes a solo performance by a single musician. This project is the result of a lifelong dream in this area that dates back to my early youth.

Music

One of the by-products of being a musician who grew up in the late 20th century who also happens to be a guitar player is that I have quite naturally lived a parallel life of deep immersion in the world of music technology. (I often joke that my first musical act with an electric guitar was to "plug it in"—knobs and wires being the same to me as mouthpieces, bows, reeds and drumsticks are to other musicians.) Alongside the information revolution that has affected all of our lives over the past 40 years, we have also lived through a revolution in the way music can be made that is almost overwhelming. Yet, at the same time, as enthusiastic as I have been about the orchestral potential of synths and electric instruments in general, and even as those instruments have improved enormously and continue to develop, the whole idea of jamming a mix of polyphonic sounds into a single set of stereo speakers has never been as satisfying to me as a single instrument going into a single discrete amplification system (electric guitar) or especially, the power of acoustic instruments and sound.

I have never seen any of these sound components—electric or acoustic in nature—as being mutually exclusive. In fact, the exciting thing for me has been the combinations possible using available sounds and dynamic levels of all kinds—from the quietest of the quiet, to the loudest of the loud.
