Prokofiev String Quartet No 2 remix

15 October 2007 | 18:03 | duydum | No Comments

  
A Hot Chip remix of classical musicians already doing contemporary experimental pieces. Something close to techno. Cello, viola, violin and stuff. Take the generic robotic metaphors applied to techno music and put an ultra realistic skin on it. Click above link to listen. Also these links to purchase:

Voder The Vocoder 1939

27 April 2007 | 18:10 | duydum | No Comments

Werner Meyer-Eppler, then the director of Phonetics at Bonn University, recognised the relevance of the machines to electronic music after Dudley visited the University in 1948, and used the vocoder as a basis for his future writings which in turn became the inspiration for the German “Electronische Musik” movement.
Check out the introduction:

Ray Charles - Mess Around

21 December 2006 | 19:30 | duydum | No Comments

From wikipedia:

“Mess Around” was one of the first big hits by music legend Ray Charles. It is noted for its insistent chorus of “Shake that thing!”.
The song was written by Atlantic Records president and founder Ahmet Ertegun using most of the lyrics of the 1929 blues anthem, “Pinetop’s Boogie Woogie”, by Pinetop Smith.”

I hate blogging about song lyrics but I loved this one where this 12 year old starts dancing as his plane is going down. It reminded me of the Central Park drum circle.

I love the bass line on this song.

 
Grab your coat and get your hat, leave your worry at the doorstep
Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street

Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the […]
