Re: Historical journals on free improvisation

The jazz institut darmstadt should have some or most (or maybe all) of that stuff - I know I had at least some volumes of Rubberneck in my hands there. I remember they had a service years ago that allows you to get photocopies of single articles. But that was pricey. No idea if they still do that, ...

Re: Historical journals on free improvisation

David Toop said on FB a while ago that there are plans to digitize 'Musics', but it might be worth messaging him on there and seeing how that is coming along if you're in a rush. Thanks for the tip; I'll get in touch with him. Apparently there are no current plans to digitize Musics . NYPL appears ...

Re: Historical journals on free improvisation

I'm trying to find copies of defunct journals/magazines on free improvisation. May I ask why? Are you looking for reviews of recordings, or something more theoretical (which could be 1) discussions of the practice / ethics of improvisation with the musicians themselves, or 2) situating free improvi...

Historical journals on free improvisation

I'm trying to find copies of defunct journals/magazines on free improvisation. I've searched public and academic libraries, including through inter-library loan, and have not been able to locate the following, in particular: Musics , 1975-1980 Rubberneck , 1985-2000 The Grackle , 1976-1979 Any help ...

Re: Favorite Euro Jazz albums?

Looking forward to checking out these suggestions! Lots of trails here to follow, so thanks. One other thing - any particular recommends among the FMP titles for sale digitally? (I've got a few Brotzmann titles through Unheard Music Series and liked those. Not familiar with many of the others.) The...

Re: Andrea Neumann

Thanks for the replies and especially for that great photograph. In addition to mere curiosity, I'm interested for a few reasons. I've built a zither, which is in some respects quite similar to the innenklavier and is motivated, I'd think, by several of the same concerns. Also, and very much related...

Andrea Neumann

I've listened with interest and pleasure to several of Andrea Neumann's recordings, though scant information on her is available online, thus exactly how she performs with the innenklavier remains a mystery--for example, how much sound is acoustic and how much is amplified?. Can anyone point me towa...

Re: Keith Rowe

I'm sure others more well-versed in criticism will chime in soon, but I'll offer a few thoughts. I thought the show was excellent. All three of the sets -- Lexer solo, Rowe solo, duo -- were fascinating. I was surprised that I often found Lexer's purely or primarily acoustic sounds more compelling t...

Re: How to convert guitar signal into sine wave ala Ambarchi?

There should be a somewhat easy way of filtering out the harmonics aside from the fundamental, right? I mean, a circuit that just senses which harmonic is loudest and filters out everything else. As flies notes, this would be ridiculously complex to do in hardware. Assuming the fundamentals are in ...

Re: How to convert guitar signal into sine wave ala Ambarchi?

Replace the .m3u extensions with .mp3 to get the links to work. I agree with the others -- I don't think it's very sine wavy, but it does have a prominent fundamental with rolled-off harmonics. I hear it bell-like in the warm, slightly overdriven, early Fender Rhodes Suitcase sense rather than like ...

Re: Handmade Electronic Music ? The Art of Hardware Hacking

The new edition is listed on Amazon as arriving on April 17 and priced at $103.50. I heartily recommend the first edition, but this price on the second edition is ridiculous, I says! Has anyone found it elsewhere for less? Edit: According to the Routledge site, the hardcover edition retails for $115...

Re: John Tilbury

And on account of this I'm curious to hear from others who have had that opportunity. I saw him perform in Vancouver, in 2006, following the Treatise Workshop he hosted for Vancouver New Music. It was a wonderful performance. It took place in a dance theatre, a large open space, so the sound was go...

I think it's a pretty easy decision to understand, and I don't see the reason to attack it, even if I don't agree with it. Selfishly, I'm just disappointed that I haven't had--and probably won't have--the opportunity to see him perform. And on account of this I'm curious to hear from others who hav...

I've tried it for this purpose, but its hard to avoid the clicks and also difficult to mouse-click a new track while playing the sax! but maybe there are other ways to do it in AbletonLive? What about a volume pedal under your left foot, so you can fade in/out your loops to avoid clicking, and a to...
