Prokofiev String Quartet No 2 remix

Monday, October 15th, 2007

  
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

Friday, April 27th, 2007

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

Thursday, December 21st, 2006

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 saw this on flickr
“”C.C. Rider” hit #1 on the R&B charts in 1957 and it started the dance craze,”The Stroll”. However, Chuck did not write the song. It’s an old blues standard first recorded by Ma Rainey in 1925 under the title, “See See Rider Blues”. “Rider” is supposed to be slang for prostitute […]

Sunny Side of the Street

Saturday, September 6th, 2003

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
Can’t you hear that pitter pat and that happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the […]
