STUART DEMPSTER-UNDERGROUND OVERLAYS FROM THE CISTERN CHAPEL 1995



STUART DEMPSTER WAS A PROFESSIONAL TROMBONE PLAYER (HE PLAYED ON THE ORIGINAL "IN C" RECORDING BY TERRY RILEY) BEFORE BECOMING A PROFESSOR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON-OR MAYBE WASH.STATE-WHERE HE TAUGHT A MASTER TROMBONE CLASS.EVERY YEAR HE WOULD BRING HIS GRADUATING CLASS TO AN DE-CLASSIFIED AIR FORCE BASE A FEW HOURS FROM THE CAMPUS WHICH HAD AN EMPTY 5 BILLION GALLON WATER TANK.I FORGET IF THERE WAS AN OCCASION FOR IT,BUT ONE YEAR THEY MADE A RECORDING OF THE 9 TROMBONISTS IN THAT PARTICULAR CLASS PLAYING AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS EMPTY CISTERN WHICH-BECAUSE OF ITS MASSIVE SIZE-HAD A NATURALLY OCCURRING REVERB TIME OF A MINUTE OR MORE...I FORGET HOW LONG EXACTLY.BECAUSE EVEN THE MOST INSIGNIFICANT OF SOUNDS WOULD REVERBERATE FOR 90 SECONDS,AND BECAUSE LIGHTING WAS NON-EXISTENT,DEMPSTER DEVISED A KIND OF SIGN LANGUAGE USED TO CUE EACH MUSICIAN...THERE'S ALOT MORE INFORMATION IN THE LINER NOTES OF THE CD-ALL OF IT FASCINATING-THEN WHAT I'VE PARAPHRASED HERE...EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OWN FAVORITE CHILLOUT ALBUM,AND THIS ONE HERE IS MINE.I SERIOUSLY RECOMMEND SEEKING IT OUT....

JAKE AND JAY-MY CADDY! 1988



YOU KNOW THIS BLOG,YOU KNOW I GRAVITATE TOWARDS RECORDS LIKE THESE.YOU KNOW,THE ONES THAT SOUND LIKE THEY WERE RECORDED BY MISTAKE.LOVE THAT STUFF...ON ANOTHER NOTE-IT'S REALLY INTERESTING TO HEAR HOW HIP HOP MADE IT'S WAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TOOK CERTAIN PLACES TO CATCH UP WITH WHAT WAS EN VOGUE IN (THIS CASE) 1985/86.THIS RECORD WAS RELEASED IN 1988 THAT WAS THE SAME YEAR "...NATION OF MILLIONS..." CAME OUT.IN NEW YORK AND PHILLY PEOPLE WERE ADVANCING THE GENRE AND RAP WAS HEADED INTO PRO-BLACK AND MILITANT SUBDIVISIONS AND IN FLINT,MI THEY WERE RHYMING ABOUT A CAR...I'M NOT HATING ON FLINT OR ANY OTHER SCENE THAT WASN'T EAST COAST.AND NOT EVERYBODY HAS THE BOMB SQUAD AT THEIR DISPOSAL EITHER.IT'S JUST WHAT ENTERS MY MIND WHEN I HEAR A RECORD THAT WAS RECORDED AT A CERTAIN TIME AND SOUNDS BEHIND THE CURVE BY A FEW YEARS.

JOHN FAHEY-FARE FORWARD VOYAGERS (SOLDIER'S CHOICE) 1973



I WAS INTRODUCED TO JOHN FAHEY WHEN BYRON COLEY WROTE A PROFILE ABOUT HIM FOR SPIN MAGAZINE IN 1995/96.I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I HEARD ONE OF HIS RECORDS-I FORGET WHICH ONE-BECAUSE IT SPARKED A SERIOUS CASE OF DEJA VU.THIS MUSIC HAD BEEN IN THE BACK OF MY MIND SINCE I WAS BORN..I IMMEDIATELY RE-TUNED MY GUITAR TO AN OPEN C AND STOPPED USING A PICK.AS GREAT A GUITARIST AS FAHEY IS,WITHOUT THOSE 2 THINGS HE'S WOULDN'T SOUND ANYWHERE NEAR AS UNIQUE.I WOULD PLAY IN THIS TUNING FOR LONG STRETCHES,BUT NOT ON AN ACOUSTIC GUITAR AND THROUGH A MYRIAD OF EFFECTS PEDALS:2 BOSS DD-5 DELAY PEDALS,2 BOSS PITCH SHIFTERS PS-2 AND PS-3,A HARMONIX MEMORY MAN (CHORUS SETTING) AND I FORGET WHAT ELSE BUT I'M PRETTY SURE THERE WAS AN ENVELOPE FILTER IN THERE AND POSSIBLY A ROLAND SPACE ECHO THOUGH BY THAT TIME I DON'T THINK THE SPACE ECHO WAS OPERATIONAL.I ALSO HAD A RACK MOUNT EFFECTS PROCESSOR BUT I DON'T RECALL HOW I USED IT.THE 3 PEOPLE I WAS TRYING TO EMULATE SOUNDWISE WERE ROBERT FRIPP,FLORIAN FRICKE FROM POPOL VUH,AND KEVIN SHIELDS.I WAS NOWHERE CLOSE TO ANY OF THESE PEOPLE'S LEVELS OF VIRTUOSITY,NOT EVEN IN THE SAME SOLAR SYSTEM,BUT I STILL MANAGED TO COME UP WITH A PRETTY COOL SOUND.A UNIQUE SOUND,I THOUGHT-LIKE JOHN FAHEY.IT'S A SIGN OF REAL ARTISTRY WHEN YOU CAN IDENTIFY SOMEONE'S WORK WITHIN A FEW SECONDS-AURAL OR VISUAL.AND NO ONE ELSE SOUNDED LIKE FAHEY-HE MADE 50SOMETHING RECORDS COMPRISED OF HIMSELF AND A GUITAR.WHO ELSE CAN SAY THAT?OUT OF ALL THOSE FARE FORWARD VOYAGERS WAS ALWAYS MY FAVORITE ONE....
