I found these CDs in a charity shop in Mechelen a few weeks ago. They introduced me to the work of Pt. Shivkumar Sharma, who plays the Santoor in an Indian style. Sounds like a mix between Indian classical music, Laaraji and Harold Budd. Highly recommended!
"pues de aquí a unos días..." Vale, este es el punto en el que me dió el ataque de risa.
velvet underground researchers have apparently confirmed that this audio from a random youtube user is genuinely the long-lost july '67 performance from upbeat, a cleveland teen tv show, doing the unreleased "guess i'm falling in love" complete with screaming girls. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU2U...
Hey, I was there too! bsky.app/profile/othe...
"I wanted to replace that 'Hendrix was an alien' narrative with an engineering-driven account that’s inspectable and reproducible—plots, models, and a signal chain from the guitar through the pedals that you can probe stage by stage."
Jimi Hendrix Was a Systems Engineer:
Air quality in the new M Hall of Bozar was excellent. Co2 ppm did not go above 650 for the whole show.
Scott Colley playing double bass and Brian Blade playing drums onstage at Bozar's new M Hall in Brussels.
Had tickets for the Wolfgang Muthspiel trio, but he was prevented from flying to Brussels by a snowstorm in Vienna. So his trio companions Scott Colley and Brian Blade stepped up and played a great mostly improvised duo concert!
Sorry to hear reports of the passing of audio engineer Richard Alderson. I interviewed him early in the newsletter's run about recording the Second Gaslight Tape and all the famous 1966 shows. You wouldn't know "Judas" without Alderson.
Beautiful concert at the Centrale in Ghent by Hartwin trio and Dobranotch duo. And good ventilation!
Bravo
That's funny, I thought the same thing, but recently I heard the Geese version of it for the BBC and it gave me a new appreciation for it.
Me ha encantado, y además rompe una lanza por los que trabajamos en otra cosa y hacemos música.

Particularly loved Floris Vanhoof's repurposed piano in Antenna and Maryia Kamarova's tiny music machines in Odraky
Wonderful sound installations in LaVallée as part of the Semaine du Son.Oor.
La Semaine du Son.Oor in Belgium this week and next! concerts, workshops, audio walks and all sorts of activities to do with sound art. Last year the sound installations in La Vallée were great: www.lasemaineduson.be
I have always wondered the same thing. I imagine this was a try-out for Daniel producing the album, but then either Sinead either decided to go self-produce or Lanois decided to produce the Neville Brothers/Bob Dylan? (supposing the sessions were in 1988/1989).
New Bonnie Prince Billie, beautiful song with great production and arrangement... www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4gk...
Hilarious! thanks...
Recording bass harmonica overdubs with my old Homer, recently rebuilt and tuned by the great Cathal Johnson.
But, of course, this was a relatively supportive minor role compared to his full-fledged collaboration on The Pearl, which makes it a very different record.
He is uncredited, but part of Plateaux was recorded at Grant Avenue, Daniel Lanois' studio then. In his autobiography he talks about engineering it (there's a funny story about an overdub where Eno walks around with wind chimes and Lanois has to steer him away from creaky floorboards).

Es que vaya titular!

Wonderful essay on Daniel Lanois' so-called "Creole Trilogy". shadowchasing.substack.com/p/creole-tri...
This is Spinal Tap. “It really puts perspective on things, though, doesn’t it?” “Yeah, too much. There’s too much fucking perspective now.”
Actually, you're right, I've never heard anyone attacking her, while I have heard people disparaging Meg and Ringo. But if anyone ever does I'm it too!
+1, also More Tucker!
A hand holds an Aranet CO2 meter. The screen reads 674 ppm, a measure that indicates good air quality and a high oxygen content, implying a lower risk of airborne infection.
The iMAL is a little known jewel of the Brussels art scene, it specialises in digital arts and holds regular exhibitions that (in my experience) are always with it. Plus it features good ventilation!
