Gil Scott-Heron's "New York Is Killing Me" Remixed by Chris Cunningham!

Chris Cunningham's audiovisual remix of Gil Scott-Heron's "New York Is Killing Me". 2010.

"The director debuted his first new video in four years. Cunningham also remixed the audio into something considerably more ominous, which perfectly synchronizes with the shadowy, New York-at-night clip."

Sad News. R.I.P Rei Harakami. Damn Too early

Rei Harakami was a Kyoto-based electronic musician from Hiroshima, Japan. 

He released his debut album in 1998 on Sublime Records. Follow-up albums, opa*q in 1999 and red curb in 2001 showcased his skills as an artist and producer. Rei's growing reputation has resulted in his becoming in demand as a producer and collaborator for artists such as UA, Great 3 and Coldcut. His recent collaboration as an artist and producer on Akiko Yano's 2004 album, Honto no Kimochi ("True feelings"), resulted in widespread recognition in Japan.

His fourth album in 2005, lust, quickly gained popularity in a variety of music scenes. In 2006, Harakami released new and past works on the compilation album Wasuremono ("Forgotten Items") and a project CD Colors of the Dark for the Planetarium. In 2007, he composed the music for the film Tennen Kokekko ("A Gentle Breeze in the Village") based on Fusako Kuramichi's novel of the same name centered around a group of teenagers in rural Japan.
Mostly ambiant like, sometimes close to Squarepusher, Aphex or even Oval. A variety of different worlds. His worlds and we thankfully keep a part of that..

History : Early Sound Design - Suzanne Ciani, Sexy voice, Sexy Sound

 Thx to Matt Subjex for this

At Wellesley as an undergraduate, Suzanne went on a field trip to MIT. There she was introduced to a professor who was attempting to make his computer re-create the sound of a violin. Thus began Suzanne's 25 year Odyssey with the art of electronic music. She was there in its nascence and instrumental in its growth and ascendancy. As a graduate student in Music Composition at Cal Berkeley in the late 60s, Suzanne began working with the pioneers of electronic music.

Final result on the Bally Xenon pinball machin. Raowww

She had her roots in both digital and analog synthesis from the beginning. She studied at Stanford with Max Matthews, and John Chowning, the father of digital frequency modulation. But what most changed her life was meeting one of the earliest designers of analog music instruments, Don Buchla, whose apprentice she became, working on the assembly line at his Oakland shipyard loft. She was to devote the next ten years of her life to exploring the possibilities of this unique instrument, the Buchla, and her mastery of it would launch her career, which is not really my type of music. I prefer pinball freaky sounds personnaly, but im not here to judge. ;)

Sound design: Steve Reich - Different Trains

This late-'80s work finds the minimalist composer mixing acoustic and taped material to great effect. The disc's centerpiece is "Different Trains", a work that frames Steve Reich's impressions of his boyhood train trips between his mother in Los Angeles and his father in New York; Reich also intersperses references to the much more harrowing train rides Jews were forced to take to Nazi concentration camps. Using the fine playing of the Kronos Quartet as a base, Reich layers the work with the taped train musings of his governess, a retired Pullman porter, and various Holocaust survivors -- vintage train sounds from the '30s and '40s add to the riveting arrangement. And for some nice contrast, Reich recruits guitarist Pat Metheny to create a similarly momentous piece in "Electric Counterpoint" (Metheny plays live over a multi-tracked tape of ten guitars and two electric basses). Two fine works by Reich in his prime.

The man i want for dinner: Marc Ribot, Intense

(and of course John Zorn, Fred Frith, Trevor Dunn, Joey Baron, etcetera)

I guess it could be seen as something like jazzu rock jewisho propsyche s*** but for me, still an amazing hippo impro from Marc Ribot, from quiet to the max.

All orchestred by John Zorn for the so famous Masada project, I like to see how some musicians know each other enough, after playing altogether years after years, to built something on impro, and to listen to each other as they do.
