I admit a bias though, in that they're performing Steve Reich :D

steve reich? creature you might want to check that out on last.fm .... see if you like it. i like it, but it will be very, very different from the lush, elegant concert you just heard

Heh.

Thanks for the warning. :)

ah, it's tempered with other composers.. and only one reich piece

yllona: it's J.S. Bach, Cashian, Boulez, Villa-Lobos, and Reich

yeah, intersting

i'd kill for the villa-lobos

creature: you've got *three* villa-lobos works in the first concert. a definite must.

there's boatloads of villa-lobos on last.fm

The only Reich I think would annony me live would be The Cave - and I think that was tied to the multimedia show, not live

oooh, and the London Sinfonietta is performing Music for 18 Musicians in London on the 28th...

uh, Londoners

i think reichs='s "cello counterpoint" is on last.fm, and that's a bit different from his other works

yes, it's a bit less "Reich" and a bit more traditional

I don't know what villa-lobos is.

creature: heitor villa-lobos

great brazillian 20th century classical composer.

man, London is getting a massive Reich performance calender this spring

Endymion on the 26th (Cello Counterpoint), London Sinfonietta on the 27th (Music for 18 Musicians), New Noise ensemble on the 6th of May (Four Organs

most importantly he placed all his compositions in the public domain at the time of his death so it makes it easy for small classical companies to perform his works. which are quite beautiful

then May 8th Trinity College (City Life),

and in September, Drumming-Part One, Eight Lines, Piano Phase, Four Organs, Violin Phase, Music for Pieces of Wood, and Pendulum Music all in a single 3-night show...

creature: here's villa-lobos: http://www.last.fm/music/Heitor+Villa-Lobos

I will give him a listen.

closest Reich performance to me in the next year is 8 hours away in NYC :(

(looking at Reich's calender) - looks like maybe we'll have a new album of his music this year... he has a new work premiering at the end of March

creature steve reich's cello counterpoint is fully streamable here: http://www.last.fm/music/Steve+Reich/_/Cello+Co...

or, rather, premiered. "Double Sextet" sounds interesting...

see if you like it. that endymion program is *really* interesting.

yllona: Thanks. I'm not going to listen tonight (going to bed) but I'll check it out soon.

creature: sure thing :). as you can tell i get excited about classical music, especially when young people are willing to go.

agreed - and that show is also programmed for a really nice intro to 20th century classical, which is quite different from what you think of when you think of "classical music"

BrianFreud: exactly

MBChatLogger: OFF

Haha.

http://music.guardian.co.uk/classical/story/0,,... might interest (came across this earlier this week).

creature: thanks for that, very true. as i said i *adore* this man

I'm off to bed now. Night all.

g'night creature

goodnight creature

natta

is there a minimal track length for a puid to be generated ?

theoretically 10 seconds, but I've seen them generate for as low as 7 sec, and some rare ones longer than 10 sec that don't generate them for whatever reason

milosz is now known as deadchip

hmm...

how do we enter fan remix thingies?

NAT under the original artist with the (remix bit) and a remixer AR to the remixer

ah

it's confusing me because they've been given artist names and there's no remix info >_<

"songX remixed by foo"?

maybe just "songX (foo remix)"?

y'know, I used to absolutely hate the fact we have several entries for an album if the track list differs, but now it bothers me we combine different releases into the same one if the track list doesn't differ

possibly 'cause of all these h!p singles having two versions where the only difference (other than the catalogue number) is the cover art

ehh! they're changing the designs of the uk coins :o

Shepard` is now known as Shepard

MrQwerty` is now known as MrQwerty

juhae: David Viner only has one copy of that cassette :( but he's goes to rip that & put the tracks on his website for download

mudcrow, Too bad, though even a rip is fine :)

yep.

saves you the trouble of ripping.

(which can't be all that much fun with a cassette :)

I sent him an email asking him which bands were him & Dave Smith on that tape, as I know a lot of the tracks were by them. He sent me a huge list of who played what instrument on each track, producers, dates recorded, dates composed. It's amazing, and he even apologised that he couldnt remember some dates

I would think cassettes were easier than vinyl, at least you can pause a cassette & the only major noise problem is hiss. vinyl is a pain in the bottom to rip

Someone mentioned Audacity has nowadays a feature for automatic track-splitting for cassette/vinyl rips

Through a plugin or a native feature

mudcrow: wow!

juhae: splitting tracks is not the part i'm worrying about :)

mudcrow: That's awesome.

it is, but it does mean I have to enter a whole load more info then I intended, but I don't mind

mudcrow: Haha. You can delegate the tasks out if you sent us the info. :)

*send

nah.you really dont want to decipher this text file. he wrote a table with lead/backing vox, instruments, composers, producers, location, dates with the initial of each person denoting their roles.

Quasimodo - S HSV S S Vc - SV S - V V 4:10 --.--.81 --.--.81 makes sense to me as I know who S, H, & V are. S= Dave Smith, V = Dave Viner, H= Neil Harvey

lead vocals by Dave Smith, backing vox by Smith,Viner & Harvey, guitar & bass by Smith, drum machine by Viner, lyrics by Smith & Viner, Music by Smith, Produced by Viner, recorded at Viner's house, composed 1981, recorded 1981.

Haha. Alright then. :)

ouch. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurobeat is horrible. brr.

Dead or Alive, Pet Shop Boys & Bananarama are eurobeat???

pet shop boys, eurobeat o_O

must be, west end girls sounds so much like hi-energy euro disco....not

mudcrow :)

freso: well, now you do!

No I don't. :x

I always thought eurobeat was hi-enrgy italo dance that was very popular in Japan

Other than Pet Shop Boys apparently aren't.

mainly because theres 100's of Eurobeat compilations released in Japan

(I don't know the other two groups.)

you don't know Dead or ALive?

you spin me right round baby, right round, like a record, baby, right round right round etc

The meatspin song.

Eh... I *think* that's vaguely familiar, but...

>_>

Freso: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwwFFP-2mN4 is a rather well-known example (ignore the video).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMwdAc1Dzfg easier than me trying to sing it in text

mudcrow: well, that's all it is nowadays.
