i heard a track off "dizzy spells" on the radio this morning (wfmu, man), and it was quite good. pretty similar to the "starters alternators" stuff.
i have "the laughing owl" (terre'n'han), tho not the atavistic reissue, and it's really good. i just bought it at the icp sets last year. is it really that "unheard"?
your humble servant,
kurt

Subject: field recording equipment
Hi all,
Don't know if this is the best place to ask but I figure someone can point
me in the right direction at least. Anyone know about recording devices
suitable for field recordings and them subsequent mixing together. I guess
I'm imagining some sort of reasonably good analog or digital recorder and a
4 track mixer or something like that. Any ideas about this or where to
start looking for info on this stuff?
Thank you for indulging me,
Rob

Subject: RE: Ligeti
Thomas, you're posting from the UK, aren't you?
The reason I ask is because none of Teldec's "New Line" recordings are out
in the USA as yet. The Sharon Isbin disc, with guitar concerti by
Christopher Rouse and Tan Dun, is out here on May 15, as is a disc by Bang
on a Can and Friends titled 'Lost Objects.' That second release will likely
prove interesting in that it features the BoaC composers writing for a
baroque instrumental ensemble using period instruments, the excellent
Concerto Koln, as well as the much-hyped DJ Spooky (remember him?).
The Ligeti release is due here on June 19, along with the Nono and the
Pintscher. I haven't heard anything by Pintscher, but he's the newest,
hottest young thing out of Germany and already composer in residence at the
Cleveland Orchestra.
I got advance copies of the Ligeti, Nono and Isbin in the mail today, along
with a keen little Ligeti interview disc which includes comments on his
pieces, his style (which he dubs "perverse" at one point), Stanley Kubrick
and more.
I agree with what you say about the quality of the Ligeti recording. The
sound is excellent, and I find the recording balance on the Chamber Concerto
better than those of Ensemble Intercontemporain on DG and Ensemble Modern on
Sony. The harpsichord is not unduly spotlit, for once. The Piano Concerto,
with Ligeti's favorite pianist, Pierre-Laurent Aimard, is superb, and the
little trumpet concerto Mysteries of the Macabre is a lot of daffy fun.
Of course, the thing that should have us all holding our breath is the
closing of Teldec's office in Germany by its corporate parent, AOL Time
Warner. The label is clearly still active, but without its German
repertoire center, I'm somewhat skeptical that the "New Line" will be seen
as an imperative for very long. I'd love to be proven wrong, but in the
mean time, if this repertoire is of interest, the discs should be snapped
up. Thankfully, if Ligeti's any indication, they're worth it.

I can tell you how I organized myself: after looking at different
technologies (minidisc, DAT, CDR) I settled for DAT at it gives in my
opinion the better quality and the option to a quick, hassle-free transfer
to Cd for ease of reference and conservation. Among the DAT machines, I
choose the Tascam (Teac professional division) DA-P1 as I do not think the
cheap small stereo jack connection to microphones available in the Sony
machines does justice to the format; Tascam connects with XLR pro
connectors. As for microphones, I have a couple of Shure to be used if the
concert is in my hometown or nearby; for traveling I just bought a couple of
the recommended Core Sound (Teaneck) stealth microphones, very handy - you
can clip them on a music stand for example. They need their battery unit to
operate well; I have the medium range model, they have a cheap type that
sells for 75 dollars and the top sells for one thousand. (the recorder,
which doubles as a first class home DAT, costs between 1.300 and 1500
dollars).
This way there's no mixing option, but I havent heard of any field recording
