Dusty Chalk Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Tangerine Dream Bootleg Series That said, I love Romantic Impressionists and late Russians (ahem), so I may have to put my Chiu collection of Prokofiev and ... I don't know, some things by Ravel, Satie, and Debussy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 It depends whose hands control it. Look up Clara Rockmore, she was the original virtuoso. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Not sure why you have trouble understanding it as an instrument -- it is monophonic -- like most every wind and brass instrument -- and it isn't fretted or stopped -- like a guitar or saxophone, more like a violin, cello or slide whistle -- and it has a purity of sound that I rather enjoy. (I have a friend who went to Bob Moog's workshop and built her own, and she did an extra careful job and it was voiced like a Minimoog -- it was delicious. I haven't heard another that sounded quite like it. Most of the recordings I've heard didn't have the midrange body that this one had. It was thick and girthy. That said, I still really do like the sound of any and all synthesizers, including the theremin. Me: Chiu, complete Prokofiev solo piano music or whatever it's called Damn, I love this stuff. Such a beautiful sense of melody harmony and dissonance. I need to write more dissonance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jose Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) You know my English is not very good, but I will try to explain. ? It's not because of how that instrument sounds (I like its sound of course). When I was little I went to the conservatory for many years and I´m used to the physical interaction between a musician and his instrument (including synthesizers). Don´t get me wrong, I think the advances in digital instrumentation are great but see someone playing a non-physical instrument is something strange to me.

Dusty Chalk Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Ah, okay, it's the not touching thing? Yeah, that is something that is unique to this instrument. It has to do with the way it's designed -- you control it by making small changes in electromagnetic waves around it. By its very nature, you can't touch it. By the way, it's not digital -- it was invented back in 1919. It's only very recently that they've been able to add sufficient tracking to use it as a MIDI controller, but it's still mostly played in the analog realm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the videos again and the calisthenics (grace of movement) is beautiful. I didn´t know it was so old. Now that you say it, I remember something about the principle of operation. Wow John Spencer's video is brutal!!!! I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Keith Jarrett, The Sun Bear Concerts on Tidal. Easily my favourite concerts of his. I could listen to this box set on repeat...and have -- it fits nicely into a 6 disc changer. It's 5 nights across 6 disks, and since this is the 21st century, I've resequenced them into chronological order. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
