Hi,
I just thought I should tell everyone there is a new list that deals with
Zorn, as well as many other modern composers, filmmakers, and artists.
the address is http://www.egroups.com/group/infinite_empathy.
here's the blurb :
French New Wave, N Sync, Bernhard Gunter, Paul McCartney, the film "Vision
Quest" and other 80's teen exploitation, Jim O'Rourke, Spike Lee, Merzbow,
Christina Aguilera, John Zorn, Brad Pitt + Jennifer Aniston, Fennesz,
advancement of technology, madonna, Luc Ferrari, Morton Feldman, Adam
Sandler, JohnCage, "Minimalism"/"Postmodernism", Dada...on and on. I don't
understand what happened. Criticism provides views on art, the historical
contexts. Can art only be as good as its criticism? HAVE YOU READ SPIN
MAGAZINE OR ROLLING STONE OR THE WIRE? Are those reviews? Do you come away
with anything from reading them? It seems like a chance to drop names and use
bland adjectives to me. I don't know. This list is an attempt to gain a
better understanding of why things are what they are, and what the problems
are with that.
from,
matt

Subject: Re: Best of 2000
Zorns
It's been a monstrous time for tracking down records. I stumbled into
used copies of Keiji Haino's "Watashi-Dake" and PSF's "Tokyo Flashback
1"
Does anyone with these records and a good heart have the track titles
of these two records. The Haino record is unclear at best, and the
Haino, Fushitsusha, and Kousokuya tracks on the compilation are
unreadable to my english-only eyes.
Please email off list bg60009@binghamton.edu. And thanks a whole heck
of a lot.

List,
The new Gun's and Roses lineup jammed at Mandalay Bay Casino in Vegas last
night. New Members include: Brain and
Buckethead amongst a few others I don't recognize and coudn't remember. Set
list included all the G&R hits:
Paradise City (opener), Patience, Welcome to the Jungle etc... The review I
read said these tunes were "torn limb
from limb with an energy unfamiliar to mankind" B-Head did a five minute
numchuck solo with drum accompanyment.
G&R tour is set for this summer and new album "Chinese Democracy" is due out
in June.
Curious whethor any listers would be interested in checking these cats out,
Paul
np: Eugene Chadbourne, Mark Dresser, Joe Morris, Susie Ibarra "Pain and Pen"

i think the arcs represent the curvature of the strings of a cello, and
the lines are the bows. so the diagrams show which strings the bows touch
in each configuration. i am assuming the letters indicate the note of the
open string (although i do not know the tuning on a cello).
i find the essays hit-or-miss, but all are at worst interesting to read.
i found the frisell bit illuminating, as it basically spells out his
technique. the lewis essay on teaching music is enjoyable to me, since i
also teach at the undergrad level. good book overall. (thanks, dan!)
