Tiddler release date is June 8th. haven't given it a real in depth listen yet. ok, that's no excuse. here goes: first track sounds like Oval mixed by Rehberg & Bauer. really. second track ... beautiful - vibes and chimes. more like the Child's View stuff. or Oval playing glitch-games with Northern Picture Library (remember them?). third track - very fucking weird. the sort of vocal garble you'd hear on Kunstradio. digital farts and glurbs. some skewed, O'Rourke-y conception of what constitutes rhythm, what makes a song, etc. fourth track - holy 21st Century Classical, Batman! forget Schoenberg and his 12 Tones. this is like 24Bit Row Composition. abstract as fuck. though you can almost hum along. can't really describe it, but it eats RDJ's pissings for lunch. maybe Dumb Type running at 4.3x speed? last track starts like a doped-up Bach playing elevator-music versions of his fugues on a flute organ ... and never gets much further than that. a pretty piece with lots of contrapuntal charm. but a trifle - or should that be a "tiddle?" - nonetheless. overall: impressive. blows away the slick, poppy, hiphoppy (first) Child's View album. this work is - dare i say? - significant. eons ahead of the Jansen/Barbieri/Takemura album (Changing Hands). though that was pretty cool, too. damn. now i'm craving more weird japanese shit. and the nearest noodle house won't be open for hours. mr. e. now on: various: interior (nan) ahhhh.... ----------------------- Headers -------------------------------- Return-Path: <idm-owner-Echophoria=xxx.xxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx> Received: from rly-zd02.mx.aol.com (rly-zd02.mail.aol.com [172.31.33.226]) by air-zd03.mail.aol.com (v59.4) with SMTP; Sun, 09 May 1999 03:22:21 -0400 Received: from hyperreal.org (taz.hyperreal.org [209.133.83.16]) by rly-zd02.mx.aol.com (8.8.8/8.8.5/AOL-4.0.0) with SMTP id DAA01376 for <xxxxxxxxxx@xxx.xxx>; Sun, 9 May 1999 03:22:20 -0400 (EDT) Received: (qmail 1798 invoked by uid 6000); 9 May 1999 07:22:12 -0000 Received: (qmail 1785 invoked from network); 9 May 1999 07:22:10 -0000 Received: from roland.augsburg.edu (141.224.64.1) by taz.hyperreal.org with SMTP; 9 May 1999 07:22:09 -0000 Received: from Moonbeam.augsburg.edu (138-59.campus.augsburg.edu [141.224.138.59]) by roland.augsburg.edu (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id CAA23981 for <xxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx>; Sun, 9 May 1999 02:22:07 -0500 (CDT) Message-Id: <x.x.x.xx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx> X-Sender: xxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Light Version 3.0.5 (32) Date: Sun, 09 May 1999 02:11:53 -0500 To: xxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx From: Moonlight <xxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx> Subject: Re: (idm) Freeform composition In-Reply-To: <xxxxxxxx.xxxxxx.xxxxx.x.xxxxxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: xxx-xxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx Precedence: bulk >>
