We have a feeling we may have experienced something that others have not. We care about this and make music to try to pass the feeling on...
'Music and the Mind' by Anthony Storr is a superb read. Sadly, I think it's out of print and I lent my copy to a student... (so now I'm off to Amazon and Ebay having fondly remembered it).
The blurb runs: 'Why does music have such a powerful effe...
I once took part (when I was in my twenties) in a 24 hour open improv in Southampton in a large community building. You didn't have to play for the whole session, just contribute to 'keep the kettle boiling'. Two incidents stayed with me from that...
Experiences that shaped your behavior.
I'd pay good money to see this in the UK! really enjoyed it.
I have read some of Hockney's own books on perspective etc. but not this one - so thanks for this Rudiger, I shall seek it out.
...we need to find what's below the surface.
It's important because:
Picasso's cubist 'Portrait of Ambroise Vollard' (1910) is a constant source of inspiration to me. You feel as if you can walk right into this man - both literally and metaphorically.
Yes. I make indeterminate paintings in parallel with my work in indeterminate composition. However, I do think making a direct visual accompaniment for music is problematic because, as Jeff says, it closes down the possibilities for the audiences ...
Anything from anywhere!
Architecture, Sculpture, Paintings, Design, Etc.: Give Us A Fantastic Example!
here's a few:
'Sky Saw' by Brian Eno
'An Index of Metals' by Fripp and Eno
'Sue Epypt' by Captain Beefheart
'Chemistry' by Jon Hassell
'In a Silent Way' by Miles Davis
'Eat Y'self Fitter' by The Fall
'Sonatas 14 and 15' by John Cage

Sounds we come back to.
* enough comfort to be creative (often with the help of coffee, paracetamol, a warm flat and a free day)
* a little glow of love somewhere (at least)
* to be around children for a while
* a flow of nourishing food
* a sense of moving on

Consemble - call for sounds 2009
• There are four project licenses, each with its own theme:
Consemble E - 'soul electric';
Consemble F - 'washed up on your island';
Consemble G - 'sky writing' ;
and Consemble C2 - 'the idea of voice' (second licence);.
The idea is for you to listen to the current version of a consemble and then send your own sounds, the ones you think should be included, to build ongoing, indeterminate compositions. The project is open to all and I am particularly interested in obtaining contributions from a range of peoples - from professional composers to non-musicians.
• Further Details at: www.chameleonlectra.co.uk/Consemble
• Last year's Consembles: A-D can also be heard.

- Hey Paul:
No question is dumb. Yes, 1-2, 3-4, etc. I'm adding a few tonight, no.'s 17 & 18.
The pairing's not a big deal but it satisfies an intent that is somewhat antique but fun.

- Hey Paul:
Maybe wait till I'm finished (within a month) then pick two you like and I'll send the mp3's. I'd like to keep the 'pairs' concept since that's how they were (are) presented on the site.

Rudiger Meyer said… - Hi Paul, yes I took a look at the project a while ago - I was thinking of adding some bits to the 'idea of voice' collection - using some fragments from my 'lydfabet' project which is a sound-poetry project based around the Danish alphabet (more info on my website - www.rudigermeyer.com/lydfabet.html . I haven't gotten round to preparing any fragments yet but there will be some on their way soon.
Best wishes, Rudiger
