  • JON HASSELL/FARAFINA Flash of the Spirit
    DESCRIPTION Tak:Til/Glitterbeat present the first ever reissue and remastering of Jon Hassell and Farafina 's prescient, "Fourth World" masterwork, Flash of the Spirit , originally released in 1988. Propulsive Burkinese rhythms meet revelatory, ambient soundscapes. Co-produced with the legendary studio team of Brian Eno and Dainel Lanois . Composer and trumpeter Jon Hassell has been an elusive, iconic musical figure for more than half a century. He's best known as the pioneer and propagandist of "Fourth World" music, mixing technology with the tradition and spirituality of non-western cultures. In 1987 he joined with Farafina, the acclaimed percussion, voice, and dance troupe from Burkina Faso, to record Flash of the Spirit . While the album is a natural extension of those "Fourth World" ideas, and a new strand of Possible Musics, it also a distinctive outlier in the careers of both artists; an unrepeated merging of sounds whose influence still reverberates today. The eight members of the band -- who had also collaborated with the Rolling Stones and Ryuichi Sakamoto -- brought their long apprenticed, virtuosic drumming, and melodic textures (balafon, flute, voices) to the sessions. They built up layers and patterns of rhythm, while producers Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois (fresh off the success of U2 's Joshua Tree ) created a sonic atmosphere in which they could creatively intertwine with Hassell's digitally processed trumpet and keyboards. Despite their initial skepticism, the musicians from Farafina ended up relishing their interaction with the studio team and the trumpeter/conceptualist Hassell. The music that emerged was rich and groundbreaking, a move to transcend the boundaries between jazz, avant-garde classical, ambient and the deep rhythmic tradition embodied by Farafina.

In the second half of the 1970s, Brian Eno, Larry Fast, Mickey Hart, Stomu Yamashta and many other musicians blurred the lines between rock and avantgarde. Brian Eno (34), ex-keyboardist for Roxy Music, changed the course of rock music at least three times. The experiment of fusing pop and electronics on Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy (sep 1974 - nov 1974) changed the very notion of what a "pop song" is. Eno took cheap melodies (the kind that are used at the music-hall, on television commercials, by nursery rhymes) and added a strong rhythmic base and counterpoint of synthesizer. The result was similar to the novelty numbers and the "bubblegum" music of the early 1960s, but it had the charisma of sheer post-modernist genius. Eno had invented meta-pop music: avantgarde music that employs elements of pop music. He continued the experiment on Another Green World (aug 1975 - sep 1975), but then changed its perspective on Before And After Science (? 1977 - dec 1977). Here Eno's catchy ditties acquired a sinister quality.

  • Strange Vocality in ‘World Music’ and Beyond1
    Volume 5 (2011) ISSN 1751-7788 Planet Voice: Strange Vocality in ‘World Music’ and Beyond1 Amy Frishkey University of California, Los Angeles Unfettered by lyrics – at least any you can understand – you luxuriate in sound. Perhaps your thoughts drift with the bright, timeless voices. Maybe, for a moment, you experience the mystery. – Pam Lambert on the choir Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares2 Modern Arab artists are taking traditional melodies, rhythms, instrumentation and singing styles and superimposing them over Western pop styles. The results are irresistible blends that do not require the listener to understand the lyrics or comprehend the subtleties of the singing. This is clearly music for celebration and, of course, dancing. – Zein Al-Jundi and Jacob Edgar on the compilation Arabic Groove3 History bypassed these women long ago; theirs is the life of eternal duties, ancient rhythms and primal emotions. […] And so, when they sing, you feel they are singing truth. They don’t really have another reason to sing – they’ve had no show-biz careers and won’t get them now. So these songs are like field recordings, which are then layered and processed and yet somehow still sound authentic. – Jesse Kornbluth on the CD Umalali: The Garifuna Women’s Project4 Suyá learned other people’s songs, sang them, and in a sense became them. The Suyá might be Upper Xingu Indians at one time, their own ancestors at another, and an American anthropologist or a Brazilian peasant through their song and movements at yet other times. – Anthony Seeger, in Why Suyá Sing5 Introduction The first three quotations presented here describe an attitude toward vocality 1 within the world music marketing category, from its inception in 1987 to the present day, which nearly exhibits the proportions of genre.

  • Live Performance
    LIVE PERFORMANCE LIVE PERFORMANCE AND MIDI Introduction Question: How do you perform electronic music without tape? Answer: Take away the tape. Since a great deal of early electroacoustic music was created in radio stations and since radio stations used tape recordings in broadcast, it seemed natural for electroacoustic music to have its final results on tape as well. But music, unlike radio, is traditionally presented to audiences in live performance. The ritual of performance was something that early practitioners of EA did not wish to forsake, but they also quickly realized that sitting in a darkened hall with only inanimate loudspeakers on stage would be an unsatisfactory concert experience for any audience. HISTORY The Italian composer Bruno Maderna, who later established the Milan electronic music studio with Luciano Berio, saw this limitation almost immediately, and in 1952, he created a work in the Stockhausen's Cologne studio for tape and performer. “Musica su Due Dimensioni” was, in Maderna’s words, “the first attempt to combine the past possibilities of mechanical instrumental music with the new possibilities of electronic tone generation.” Since that time, there have been vast numbers of EA works created using this same model of performer and tape. On the one hand, such works do give the audience a visual focal point and bring performance into the realm of electroacoustic music. However, the relationship between the two media is inflexible; unlike a duet between two instrumental performers, which involves complex musical compromises, the tape continues with its fixed material, regardless of the live performer’s actions. 50s + 60s 1950s and 60s Karlheinz Stockhausen was somewhat unique in the world of electroacoustic music, because he was not only a pioneering composer of EA but also a leading acoustic composer.
