"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!

*I've always been drawn to the stereotypical "Asian sound" which led me on a never-ending journey discovering the music that is decidedly not in that broad genre, yet is distinctively from the countries of this huge area. These are a people of deep talent and creativity in all  fields of the arts.

"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.

Let's Go Space Forcing! - What could go wrong?
