CASA HASA GIOVANNA ::: EPISODE 3 - NO MORE GUITARS (FURTHER & BETTER PARTICULARS)



Current mood: INFORMATION....
Category: INFORMATION.... Music






So, here we go with Epsiode 3...

In a cynical and pro-marketing way, I'm doing a number of spin off clogblogs about the tracks and artists featured withon this episode, mostly because I have stories about most of them...


But, before I get into those, here are a few basic facts:


I love this episode the most thus far for many reasons:

The main one, is that I had very little real time to work it - which somehow made it possible to have it ready 3 days early and double mix smooth...


The rather obvious theme here is No More Guitars.

Regular readers will know this is one of my bones of contention - that guitars have peaked in importance and that the future and indeed the present contemporary music is mostly about Electronic and Hip Hop sample sounds, as opposed to that tired old structure of Beatles bass, guitar and drums.....

Some avid and detailed listeners will find one or two supporting roles from our 6 or 4 stringed friends (I'm no totalitarian) the vast majority of this mix is however completely lacking in any kind of guitars...

GOOD..


This is the first mix that not only clocks in at 69:23 - but also features 23 tracks..


Comparred with the first 2, this mix contains very little birdsong and none that has been added in on top of other tracks or gaps by PG£...


Episode 3, doesn't feature Pt 2 of The Fish Island Montage. This will appear at some point on a future episode..


After having my own vocals on Episode 1 and none on Episode 2 (excepting untranslatable bird noises) Episode 3 see's me attempting to pass on subliminal mind control messages by way of vocals and third party chitter chatter...


You should be able to both stream and download this and the previous 2 episodes on both Mac & PC. If you're having any problems with either - PLEASE DO LET ME KNOW..!!))


And, once again, I'd like to thank EOTS media in New York, for their stella web package, generous bandwidth allowance and supreme customer service - if you need a website built or hosted, these are most definately the people you need to be talking too...

I bought some big old mushrooms today - got a Pheasant 'n all...

The butchers had a headless Roe deer and 2 Hares strung up...

I really have a thing for dead animals - they completely fascinate me..

(PS) Thanks

Craig David has that ability...

I think I prefer to ramble with typed words on the virtual page as opposed to gibbering on tape...

Anyway, thanks for listening..)

Thanks..))

These first 6 or 7 are all about reminding myself of the technology, making things easy and working out my agenda..

Episodes 8 and onwards, and things'll get really interesting...

Yes, I thought you might like that..

The Residents 'Commercial Album' is a great conceptual work - 40 tracks all 1 minute long.

They're one of the few bands that regularly make me laugh...
