    Had she lived, #LindsayCooper would have turned 75 yesterday. She was my favourite #HenryCow member, both in terms of her distinctive woodwind contributions but also her astounding compositional ideas - see Western Culture, side 2. Still, I reckon her post-Cow work is even better. The beautiful scores she wrote for various #SallyPotter-directed projects stand as some of the best politically-engaged #experimentalmusic of the 80s. RIP.

  4. More background on Tristram Cary's Divertimento: for Olivetti machines, chorus and percussion.

    "Cary gathered the sounds in Olivetti's London showroom with a Nagra tape recorder, a mixer and microphones. He then transformed the machine noises with his electronic equipment at his private studio, including softening the sounds, and using them both at normal speed and considerably slowed down."

  5. This video has everything: #ModernComposition #olivetti corporate staff, vintage #BritishRail trains, and of course what is now #retrocomputing, but back then would have been cutting edge technology.

  6. I do like a bit of calm & contemplative neoclassical musical on a Sunday, & the sophomore LP from young French pianist Rémi Fay is hitting the sweet spot today, as he painstakingly frames time, space & place with his succinct piano, ambient noise & well chosen collaborators with a similar minimal disposition.

  7. So Ben McElroy & A Spot on the Hill are back with another taste of their forthcoming LP on The Slow Music Movement label, and it's a beautifully judged, contemplative slice of minimal neoclassical music where the space aerates and further elevates the succinct composition.

  8. High winds and cold rain lashing outside, so I'm diving into the tranquil pool of Harold Budd's minimalism. A late-period album, starting with a suite of slowly decaying piano ambience, and finishing with a suite of beautifully elegaic chamber strings.

  9. The first single from the forthcoming Everything Was Different Yesterday LP from Ben McElroy & A Spot On The Hill has arrived and it's a beautiful, soothing slice of neoclassical music with Ben's consummate strings and sound design elevating the dreamy minimalism of Dan's piano work to new heights. I hope you enjoy it.
