View DJ Peter's profile |
Obscure musical gems, avant experimentation, and classics worth rehearing. A conurbation of Leslie speakers, timbales, plungers, arch-tops, tablas, and squeaky reeds. Black ties, pork pies, Cuban boots, Nudie suits, bobbysocks, turtlenecks, and high-heeled sneakers. Jazz is the north star but it’s a wide universe, so says The Laughing Clock.

Isang Yun | Images (1968) for Flute, Oboe, Violin, & 'Cello | Compositions of Isang Yun-4 (Heinz Holliger, Aurèle Nicolet, Hanscheinz Schneeberger, and Thomas Demenga) | Camerata | 1989 | Nicolet (flute), Holliger (oboe), Schneeberger (violin), Demenga (cello): July 1985, Basel. "inspired by the Koguryô-frescos of the Great Tomb of Kangsô from the 6th/7th century. The grave is situated near Uhyôu-ri, Southwest of P'yôngyang in today's North Korea. The composer who owns reproductions of these frescos since 1960 had seen the originals in 1963, and his spectacular kidnapping by the South Korean secret service was certainly also due to this travel to North Korea. During the Koguryo-era it was quite usual to paint the four protecting gods on the four walls of a burial chamber. The black turtle with snake (reproduced on the cover of 32CM-68) symbolizes not only the direction North, but also the season winter, the element water and so on. On the Eastern wall, the blue dragon is represented (spring, air/wind, wood), on the Southern one the red Phoenix (summer, fire). Isang Yun's 'Images', however, only concerns one image, the Western fresco. It became an emblem of the composer's aesthetics in which seeming unambiguity always reveals itself as ambiguous. The Western wall does not only show the tiger (autumn, metal), but into its representation, fragments of the dragon, the turtle and the phoenix have been woven. Thus, the four protecting gods have melted into one entity, and according to the viewer's position, one of the animal figures catches the eye more than the others. "With this composition, Yun carried out an order of the Mills College in Oakland, California (USA). The piece was premiered there on March 24th, 1969. The composer transforms the fresco into movement and tone colours. The flute seems to symbolize the turtle, the oboe the dragon, the violin the bird Phoenix and the violoncello the tiger. But with the changing position of the viewer, the object of his perception is changing also, because the unity of the four is impossible to see even from an ideal point of view. The effort of the composition consists in the attempt to converge the diverging into a harmonious entity." (Walter-Wolfgang Sparrer, trans. Frank Heibert) | 1:18:52 (Pop-up) | ||||

Thomas Conrad is a reviewer who often reviews European jazz players-I find I like stuff he gives good reviews to.

Something like Miles & Coltrane? Great contrasting styles I mean.

Mills has no on-campus instruction? I thought the merger with NE retained at least some instruction, maybe no the Music Dep't?
