Monday, May 28, 2007Update 5/28 Happy Memorial Day, everyone.New podcasts this week, El Plan De Aguavodka gives us an ominous journey through never-ending tunnels with his latest podcast Lullaby For Frank Bono. A very thoughtful, abstract work that's a pretty as it is mysterious. The Painful Leg Injuries continue our latest series, Living Freely In The Underground Chambers, the PLI's third series of street musician field recordings collaged into new forms of group playing. This episode The Birdman Is Mocking All Of You! centers around samples of one of my favorite New Yorkers. The Birdman is the kind of guy you see if don't have a day job. He's very subversive sitting on the subway making birdcalls that you can't directly identify as him (at first, but once you know who he is, he only fools the German tourists) . The calls start out subtle and then as he walks of the train he will usually belt out loud "scraw!" So, I used samples of his calls as the structure to include a host of street players. Have a great week and enjoy your holiday.
