Bon Odori at Gokoku Shrine. August 6, 2012.

Recorded on a humid August night at what I learned later to be a “Defend Japan” shrine in Nara.  The snaky guitar lines give it an uncanny African feel, love the clipping on the PA system.

Recorded using iRig app on my phone. Pic by me as well.

This is rather pleasant.

Richie Hawtin & Pete Namlook
// after Martin Dawson’s death, another gifted musician has left us: Pete Namlook, also known as Peter Kuhlmann from Germany. In his honor, Richie Hawtin gives a way the “From A Million Miles Away”-mix from 1993 for free, filled with tracks by him and Namlook. Here’s what Richie said about Pete Namlook and the mix:
“It’s with a heavy heart that I sit here on our Cntrl: Beyond EDM tour bus, travelling through the Midwest listening to a song that was the soundtrack to so many important moments in my, my brothers & my Detroit crew’s lives… From Within ‘A Million Miles to Earth.’ This week my friend and collaborator Peter Kuhlman better known as Pete Namlook from FAX Records, Germany, passed away. My condolences to Pete’s family, friends & fans. It MUST be said that Pete was an Electronic Music pioneer, a pillar of the modern Germany Electronic Music scene AND single handedly created & sustained the Ambient movement of the 1990’s and beyond. Inspired by those who came before him, Pete continually inspired all of us and his sonic blueprint is part of the foundation of Electronic Music that we all stand upon today. I’ve opened up this Soundcloud link to one of our finest musical moments together as a free download. Recorded just after New Years Eve 1993 in Frankfurt, Germany, the first song we wrote together. Originally written as a reminder of my friends in Detroit, a million miles away from Frankfurt, this song will now forever be a reminder of Pete, a million miles away from us all. Goodbye Pete, Safe travels…. LISTEN & REMEMBER….”
// RIP

‘Every Man and Woman is a Star’ - from ‘Instant Digest’

Instant Digest is the work of Astronaut No.1 (aka Bob Bhamra of WNCL Recordings).

Simon Reynolds described the project as “a monstrously compressed synopsis of the history of pop that crams five decades into just twenty minutes”. Each year from 1960-2009 is represented by an extreme, but carefully structured, 30-second cut-up of a classic album from that year. Bhamra shows impeccible taste in selecting Ultramarine’s ‘Every Man and Woman is a Star’ to represent 1992.

Instant Digest was created for the art/music blog Modyfier and the full work is here.

Simon Reynolds’ article about the project for Wired is here.

slow-swords:

Lost in time, now aptly recovered. The music here has a light touch, a seemingly effortless release that stands high above its contemporaries, both then and now. A master of his technical craft, but his hand strays from being overbearing, always being utilized as a tool to sculpt gorgeous textures, never as an end in and of itself. The breeze flows freely, skimming the surface in its constant state of flux, never resting in one area for too long. Sorrow-filled, hopeful, flinging here and there between moods and colors, shades and hues. A personal journey of freedom and discovery.
