Keyser & Shuriken - newsletter #29: Physical Musical Relationship
Newsflash 10.08.2000
Dear friends,
Probably this was the most hectic week of this summer in Budapest. The mess
was caused by the already traditional seven-days-long Island Festival. On
the festival - where we also played at - there was so many people as never
before, what made us paranoid sometimes. Are we maybe too old for such
things? Anyway, try to imagine the experience that you go into a tent on
Saturday afternoon to play a chill-out set and you find a lot of really old
skool Depeche Mode fans inside who have been moving to the dark rhythms for
about 7-8 hours. Would you stop them or care about them and keep listening
to the music for more hours? This little nightmare happened to Keyser and
you can guess what he did... :)
Anyway, our little local/global network has been even stronger. Last
weekend we invited a young record collector, who played a one-hour-long set
of weird easy listening and jazz stuff. Check out the playlist and listen
to the sounds!
This week we have had some visitors: two guys from Norway (both of them
work at a music distribution company called Voices of Wonder Records) came
to see the Formula 1 race in Budapest. One of them, Rune is a resident of
cub Fonii in Oslo and we organised a joint night for today at a nice little
open-air café. We are very curious about Norwegian electronic music
(yesterday evening they showed us a lot of very deep stuff from Norway).
And on the weekend we play at a big festival, for the programmes check out
our tour dates.
This week's reading is from a Wire magazine interview with Brian Eno. To
those who would also like to communicate with their instruments in a more
friendly way:
"One of the things I've formulated recently, as a little rule of thumb for
myself, is to say, a computer program should always allow you to continue
working in the physical world that that activity suggests anyway. So if
you're working with a music program, you don't have to keep going back to
typing and using your mouse. People think that's being kind of picky, and
rather stupid, but I've always had this theory that the body is the large
brain; it's not like, this bit of you doesn't matter and this bit does. The
whole physical experience is what you make things with. Anyone who works
with any tactile art form knows this. And with any tactile instrument. They
know that a lot of your intelligence about what you're doing is not
happening here [the head], it's happening all over other parts of your
body. It's how your body feels about this sort of thing. Well,
unfortunately, computer interfaces are so crude they've completely ignored
that possibility. So, if I want drawing programs that automatically work
with a pad or a pen or whatever - I have one in fact! - then I want music
programs and I want synthesizers that give me that same kind of physical
relationship, that physical musical relationship."
