All rights reserved. [email protected] www.theex.nl u THE STORY THE EX AND GETATCHEW MEKURIA. (2004-2014) We were intrigued by Getatchew’s music, which we had discovered on an old cassette, back in 1996. Recordings from 1972 (Philips vinyl), later released as Ethiopiques 14 “The Negus of Ethiopian Sax”. A big sound and a huge vibrato in a minimal setting. A saxophone sound where you recognise Getatchew in a second! Unique. We had our 25th year anniversary party in November 2004 and invited a wide variety of musical friends for a two day festival at the Paradiso, in Amsterdam. Our big dream was to invite Getatchew and have him play with the ICP, the Instant Composers Pool, for many decades Holland’s most amazing free-impro- vising jazz orchestra, based around Misha Mengelberg and Han Bennink. But, of course, we realised that Getatchew came from quite another world, that he hadn’t played concerts for a long time and, in his seventies, was maybe getting on a bit. We took the risk, went to Addis to find him, and explained our story. He agreed to do it right away! What followed was a whirlwind. It was his first time travelling to Europe. When he arrived, he was so full of energy, that he didn’t go to bed for two nights.

    Minor Compositions Open Access Statement – Please Read This book is open access. This work is not simply an electronic book; it is the open access version of a work that exists in a number of forms, the traditional printed form being one of them. All Minor Compositions publications are placed for free, in their entirety, on the web. This is because the free and autonomous sharing of knowledges and experiences is important, especially at a time when the restructuring and increased centralization of book distribution makes it difficult (and expensive) to distribute radical texts effectively. The free posting of these texts does not mean that the necessary energy and labor to produce them is no longer there. One can think of buying physical copies not as the purchase of commodities, but as a form of support or solidarity for an approach to knowledge production and engaged research (particularly when purchasing directly from the publisher). The open access nature of this publication means that you can: • read and store this document free of charge • distribute it for personal use free of charge • print sections of the work for personal use • read or perform parts of the work in a context where no financial transactions take place However, it is against the purposes of Minor Compositions open access approach to: • gain financially from the work • sell the work or seek monies in relation to the distribution of the work • use the work in any commercial activity of any kind • profit a third party indirectly via use or distribution of the work • distribute in or through a commercial body (with the exception of academic usage within educational institutions) The intent of Minor Compositions as a project is that any surpluses generated from the use of collectively produced literature are intended to return to further the development and production of further publications and writing: that which comes from the commons will be used to keep cultivating those commons.

  • Itineraries of Modern Ethiopian Instrumental Music
    ITINERARIES OF MODERN ETHIOPIAN INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC BY LUCIEN JOHNSON A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Composition Victoria University of Wellington 2017 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many thanks go to my supervisors: Dugal McKinnon for his thorough guidance and long hours of reading, Kimberly Cannady for setting me on the right path and John Psathas for his imaginative and luminous responses. Thanks to Mulatu Astatke for doing me the honour of allowing me to play with him and for sharing his stories with me. Thanks to Francis Falceto for bringing Ethiopiques to the world and for his insights and help with materials. Thanks to the musicians who partook in the recordings, Justin Clarke, Nick Van Dijk, Toby Laing, Barrett Hocking, Will Ricketts, and most of all Jeffrey Grice for his stellar work in spending so much time perfecting my piano pieces and having the courage to present them in an important event in both our lives. It was something I will never forget! I would like to express my gratitude to my mother Cecilia for providing a home that was filled with art and music. Thanks also to my sister Miranda and companion Lucy-Margaux who gave me excellent advice when I needed it and who now know a lot more about the music of Ethiopia than they ever considered possible. 2 ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the way in which Ethiopian musicians of the 1960s and 70s adapted forms such as jazz, soul and Latin music to create a new hybrid instrumental music style variously referred to as Ethio-Jazz or Ethio- Groove.

Pour les autres, vous avez un lien vers la source en fin de notice. Les mots en bleu sont des liens soit vers les notices des artistes dans notre catalogue soit vers des liens internet extérieurs pour les genres. Blues The Devil ain't got no music / Lurrie Bell - Aria BG records, 2012 1.1 BEL 4 Guitare et chant blues – Gospel - USA Le guitariste et chanteur Lurrie Bell est un pur bluesman de Chicago. Mais c'est du gospel qu'il s'inspire pour ce nouvel album. Il ouvre avec le célèbre Swing Low, et poursuit avec des airs traditionnels et des reprises de Muddy Waters et de Tom Waits entre autres. Un album entièrement acoustique où il invite à jouer avec lui le guitariste Joe Louis Walker et l'harmoniciste Billy Branch. >>> Accéder à la notice Black box / Nicolas Repac - No Format!, 2012 1.1 REP 5 Blues - Electro - France Homme de l'ombre et alter ego d'Arthur H depuis près de 15 ans, Nicolas Repac n'est à son aise que seul, face à ses machines dans l'espace calfeutré de son studio des hauteurs de Montmartre. Passé maître dans l'art subtil des samples et de leurs associations libres, son travail consiste ensuite à leur redonner comme une seconde vie poétique et musicale en les réintroduisant dans la rumeur vibrante du grand métissage contemporain. A travers un éventail de voix profondément émouvantes, enregistrées spécifiquement pour l'occasion ou issues de documents sonores samplés, cet album s'apparente en effet à une sorte d'inventaire saisissant de cette plainte joyeusement désabusée, qui partout dans le monde ne cesse de chanter la nostalgie du paradis perdu.

  • Dusted Features [ Listed: Mi Ami + Paavoharju ]
    Dusted Features [ Listed: Mi Ami + Paavoharju ] http://dustedmagazine.com/features/770 Dusted Features Every Friday, Dusted Magazine publishes a series of music-related lists compiled by our favorite artists. This week: San Francisco shamans Mi Ami and Finnish eccentrics Paavoharju. Listed: Mi Ami + Paavoharju Mi Ami San Francisco trio Mi Ami consists of guitarist and vocalist Daniel Martin-McCormick, bassist Jacob Long and drummer Damon Palermo. Long and Martin-McCormick were key components of Washington, D.C.’s celebrated but all too short-lived band Black Eyes, but emphasizing that history risks painting the wrong picture. Mi Ami don’t concern themselves with 21st-century disenfranchisement or political unrest. They reduce unrest to its most basic ingredients: rhythm and noise. In fact, the band’s breakthrough hit was titled “African Rhythms,” ostensibly for the layers upon layers of polyrhythms and percussion. We liked it so much that we deemed them Destined worthy earlier this year. Since forming in 2007, Mi Ami have gobbled up tons of international flavors, many of which they lay out for us in this week’s Listed. 1. 51717 - Give Me Your Love Barbara Mason’s psycho-sensual disco classic re-imagined as a submerging drum world cut with mournful chords. Friends have described this as Timbaland in the woods, which might make sense, but to me it sounds like Van Halen’s drums falling down the subway escalator in perfect time. Which is to say that they are huge and totally weird but incredibly effective. I think she played the pads on the drum machine live? Whatever’s happening is pretty intense.
