"Listen to the fish"

* My talented Radio Brother Bill Kates turned me on to a short piece
by Rick Rubin regarding the art of Deep Listening Music. 
It ends with this summary:

"We often listen to music passively, taking in the overall sound
without noticing the individual components that
make it up. By learning to separate and analyze each layer,

we can deepen our understanding and appreciation of
how music works."

Much thanks to William, Rick and You for your ears and time spent!

"There's a lot going on in space"

*I was interested in sound-collage before I really understood what was going on, as exampled in Revolution #9, an immediate favorite from The White Album. Live-radio experimentation on The Asylum, produced together with Boston music Presence Tony V at WTBS/WMBR, 88.1 FM in Cambridge on January 5, 1980 inspired me further. It layered elements of theatre, improvisation, avant-garde, musique-concrete, mashing, sampling, tape manipulations, loose but intact theme and eclectic musical selections - before many of these terms and techniques were even in use!

This unique art continues on DLM.

 Inspired by watching For All Mankind and it's revisionist look at our NASA storyline,

including all the things that could happen with bad decisions made by stupid people.

RFW Spotlight - An Evening With Papa Harry

Haruomi Hosono

Spotlight 2

"Who do you love?"

Haruomi "Papa Harry" Hosono,
musician, composer, producer and electronic pioneer, is one of the most renowned and revered artists out of Japan. With early bands such as Apryl Fool and Happy End, Harry paved the way to fateful collaborations with the late Ryuichi Sakamoto and  drummer Yukihiro Takahashi, eventually forming Yellow Magic Orchestra with the duo. His numerous solo releases through the decades include synth workouts, J-Funk jams, video-game exotica, ambient and everything else you might find under the rising sun. Like George being in a band with John and Paul, Harry had the privilege of working with and being somewhat overshadowed by the internationally famous Mr. Sakamoto, but his output and talent is no less prolific. Included are a pocket full of favorites, but there is so much more. 

I invite you dig the music of
Papa Harry Hosono!

"As the river runs, tumbles and turns

You know you shouldn't stay

Or play the game again

But it could be different this time

You may win"

*I saw this amazing show on October 28, 1993 at the beautiful

Zellerbach Hall on the campus of UC Berkeley, and it remains a highlight memory.

Below, David gives us a little background on the project and within,

the band delivers a sonic document of the short-lived tour.

Enjoy loudly.

"Robert approached me in late 1991 about whether I wanted to 

join a new King Crimson he was forming. Though very flattered,

I decided that I didn’t feel equipped to take on the whole baggage and history

 that comes with being a member of King Crimson.

So instead we took the offer of the tour as an opportunity to

write material for an album. It was a way of combining Robert’s

and my approach to recording music,

and a challenge that I enjoyed."
