Strumming Music 52:14 ────[Release Note]────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── gain yes this is one of the few remaining high points for(what was)Hardcore minimalism,(as opposed to Softcore, or No-Core, or Opportunist-Core, or Wish-I-had-A-Core Minimalism)where did it go wrong? What's suppose to happen with Minimal Music,or Rpertitive Patternings-Music is that either you are interested in listening, and what timbre or sound does, what is noise,what is a beautiful sound and then when something, a sound may transform itself; or you are not, you are more interested in associating this process of listening with other objects for contemplation and those which may render, put you in a position to sell minimalism within the lifeworld,And I guess there wouldn;t be much music I suspect if composers followed this latter quip;, but I cannot help but agree with Palestine's conviction that the "other" minimalists simply went by way of making money,popularizing, homogenizing, now digitalizing,and globalizing the cause the process anyway possible, and this brings to mind Charles Ives(he was successful in insurance) that if your music is dependant upon you putting food on the table, well it is better, and we are better off if you sell pizzas instead or derivative securities or real estate. I suspect the other minimalist composers as Reich, and Adams, Riley and Glass would have in fact done thatl but they had no skills as such, and no academic degrees for such business. So here you listen and the performing is incredible to sustain fairly a steady tempo throughout, an endurance test really; there are large wavering if you follow or care to follow a metronome. The piece begins somewheres around 90-92-96 to the Quarter note value for about the first 15 minutes, then gradually increases, to 120-122-128 and you have an incredible sense of time if you can tell the difference between 120 and 122 on the metronome, still there are music games I;m sure this music encourages, you are also encouraged to sing or hum of you want to, minor sevenths are gorgeous sounding against the open E and B here below Middle C. A and G are also good tones to get out of yourself and enter new realms. As you work your way through this canvas of timbre, the piano seems to sound harsher,at about 45 minutes at about 34 minutes is where like a break occurs and you return to lesser tones, the diminution of density not ugly, perhaps the piano is tired itself of all this pummeling although Palestine plays with a gentle demeanor, never really striking an un-beautiful tone, it is the resounding reverberations that come to sound harsh the repetition. Another interesting aspect is that the piece limits itself to one register more-or-less the octave below Middle C, the tones E,G,A,B,D; for the tones that are struck, of course if you can hear it the entire keyboard is brought into the field of play with the pedal being left down throughout. So minimalism is about listening first about how timbre is suppose to work and what it may do in and by-itself without reference to nothing outside itself; other cultures have been practicing this kind of listening for centuries, here we had to wait and only if you lived in New York City were you the first in the Seventies to be able to practice this listening,Where?, at The Idea Warehouse 22 Reade Street in New York where this was recorded. Joan La Barbara in the sleevebox notes gives a good summary of her experience of this with Palestine and his usual accoutrements of stuffed fluffy animals, bunnies and bears sitting on top of the Bosendorfer Piano,it must get lonely playing this music and there is nothing to watch;Bosendorfer is the only one Palestine (Charles Martin) cares to use; then, then I suspect minimalism became popular within underground avant-garde then art galleries and then the globe;and large cities in the USA followed. The piece does actually sound or suggests like a banjo strumming away, very Americana.Terry Riley's "The Harp of New Albion, and La Monte Young's "Well=Tuned Piano" are the other piano solo seminal works with this one. Goodbye to Minimalism we will miss you very much. http://www.amazon.com/Strumming-Music-Charlemange-Palestine/dp/ B00008S81O/ref=sr_1_1/002-2961370-4556020?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1 178951404&sr=8-1 ────[Group Notes]─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Dgn is around since 1998... After a few years, a few rippers who left, a few who joined, people greeting,people yelling, people threatening, people helping, people watching, we're still enjoying our aime: Let ppl listen to what they are gonna buy b4 they pay a single penny. There have been also some people and groups that helped out during the last few years, maybe it's because of them that (against all odds) we are still releasing and doing well, those know who they are, and we'll thank forever. We remind our beloved public, we're against all kind of distrubution, don't search our rips neither in your preferred XDcc channel, nor in your local 127.0.0.1 p2p program, We do not distribute ! But it's not nice to buy when you do not know what you're buying. As a matter of fact, DGN is a private group, and do not need rippers, fast or slow shells, traders, t1+ sites, couriers, prewhores, and hw suppliers, we need only a nice chalet in Switzerland/Canada or a Villa in the Caribbean sea where to listen to some chillout music. If you can supply any of those, for free, feel free to contact us for an application form. Remember to support the artists.
