If you k=like this sort of thing, there's ad great show on AshevilleFM (and archived on Mixcloud) called Orchestral Manoeuvres that plays the kind of things you like. A lot of 20-21st century Russian and Eastern European composers

Doug Schulkind:
I believe these are the "low strings."
From what I've seen, the term typically means "all the strings except the violins," but as a violist I think it would apply more appropriately to the just the cellos and basses.
I actually play both (had my first jazz bass gig in a while last night) and there are a lot more jokes about violists than about bass players out there. It's the classical equivalent of rock musicians telling drummer jokes.

The film Mister Buddwing film depicts a well-dressed man who wakes up on a bench in Central Park with no idea who he is. He proceeds to wander around Manhattan desperately trying to figure out his own identity. He meets various women, played by Angela Lansbury, Katherine Ross, Suzanne Pleshette, and Jean Simmons, and each woman triggers fragments of his deeply-buried memories. James Garner plays Buddwing.

Kenyon Hopkins loved him some oboes.
By now, given what's said and written and bent and messy and incorrect -- strictly in terms of grammar and usage, not politics or social conflicts in the public sphere -- Safire must have spun himself to butter in the grave.
For sure. The epidemc of egregious reduncancies alone (see under: revert back) must have had Safire spinning at an immeasurably high RPM. (Usage note: RPM = rotations per minute, not revolutions per minute.)
I've been privileged to have lived a couple hours from Chicago all of my adult life. Most of the Chicago jazz musicians and touring US and European avant jazzers make quick trips to these cities for gigs. I've been fortunate enough to see Brotzmann, Mats Gustaffson, Joe McPhee, Cooper-Moore, Henry Grimes, Wadada Leo Smith and most of the Chicago heavyweights.

feel like a dope that I didn't hear that that Frode cut was 2 basses..... love the bowed bass and of course the cello. doesn't Ron Carter sometimes play the cello?
I struggled with Google Translate, and my best guess is that "splasc" in Italian means just "splash" in English. BUT "splash" in Italian means a ruinous collapse or fiasco. So maybe the title is a kind of joke between making a splash and a fiasco (probably with the same pronunciation in Italian). Maybe???
My confidence in all this is low.
Hi, Andrew. I await your infusion of Italian expertise into this Splasc(h) question.
11:11am
still b/p:
Speaking of RPM and errors, seeing more instances recently of graphic animation of a spinning record, with the band of reflected light on the disc surface rotating with the record, which it don't actually do in real life. Maybe I should just have an edible and enjoy mild hypnosis of the visual, or ignore...if I did edibles.

Hey, hi, I know I never say anything anymore, but gosh! That Oscillations album cover was surely influenced by Jack Kirby's super trippy early 70s comics work. Coool.
Interesting. There are elements of that illustration that are recurring motifs in Druillet's work. I wonder of they adapted their art from one of his drawings or just good at mimicing his style.
I used to painstakingly ape (or attempt to) his and Jean 'Moebius' Giraud drawing styles when I was a teenager.
I've just added poor graphic usage to the burgeoning list of reasons I'd prefer membership in a different species in the next life.
In somewhat better news:
* Today is David Attenborough's 100th birthday.
* All four of the robin eggs on the windowsill in the backyard hatched successfully, and all four chicks have survived for three days and counting.
3. Don't ask him to do engage with anything remotely related to Pee Wee Herman. He's not ant-Pee Wee, he's just so over it. He's a charming curmudgeon.

Gary Panter’s JIMBO probably saved me from staying in the advertising program, and thereby the burden of wealth and financial normalcy altogether
Saw about 20 minutes of The Omega Man last night, and the keepers of the flame in the panel look like the afflicted head villain and his minions who battled Charlton Heston. Though I suppose they look like many many keepers and minions and culty folks and monks and doom and trouble agents from many tales and depictions.

Bigtime showbiz became a nasty experience for him. But I'm weird, for me the Pee Wee thing is an odd footnote to Panter's own work. Jimbo! Dal Tokyo! Songy of Paradise!

Hi, Andrew. I await your infusion of Italian expertise into this Splasc(h) question.still b/p: Speaking of RPM and errors, seeing more instances recently of graphic animation of a spinning record, with the band of reflected light on the disc surface rotating with the record, which it don't actually do in real life. Maybe I should just have an edible and enjoy mild hypnosis of the visual, or ignore...if I did edibles.
Listener Gregory: I actually have to run now, but I'll check the linguistic analysis of record labels when I return. Thanks a lot, Doug!

Run swift, run safe, Listener Gregory!mic_a: Hey, hi, I know I never say anything anymore, but gosh! That Oscillations album cover was surely influenced by Jack Kirby's super trippy early 70s comics work. Coool.

Yes, Ron Carter has had some recordings playing cello. Famously, half of the tracks on his album "Where?" which also featured Eric Dolphy.Doug Schulkind:

There is no credit for the cover art on Discogs, mic_a. Welcome, mic_a!Doug Schulkind: Here comes the fuzz! Here comes the fuzz!
mic_a: Yeah, I can see Druillet, too. Here's a Kirby example. Not a female figure, but...

Fun -- Alphonse Mucha meets Peter Max meets 70s comics meets Afro Futurism.Doug Schulkind: Next you're gonna tell me there's a Zambian band name Manufacturers Hanover Trust.
Doug Schulkind: The cover art for this Salty Dog LP is by Trevor Ford.

Interesting. There are elements of that illustration that are recurring motifs in Druillet's work. I wonder of they adapted their art from one of his drawings or just good at mimicing his style.I used to painstakingly ape (or attempt to) his and Jean 'Moebius' Giraud drawing styles when I was a teenager.

I've just added poor graphic usage to the burgeoning list of reasons I'd prefer membership in a different species in the next life.In somewhat better news:
* Today is David Attenborough's 100th birthday.
* All four of the robin eggs on the windowsill in the backyard hatched successfully, and all four chicks have survived for three days and counting.

Two Gary Panter data points:2. He once like a post of mine on social media.
3. Don't ask him to do engage with anything remotely related to Pee Wee Herman. He's not ant-Pee Wee, he's just so over it. He's a charming curmudgeon.
Doug Schulkind: I'm not anti-Pee Wee, but I'm rabidly pro Uncle Michael.

Saw about 20 minutes of The Omega Man last night, and the keepers of the flame in the panel look like the afflicted head villain and his minions who battled Charlton Heston. Though I suppose they look like many many keepers and minions and culty folks and monks and doom and trouble agents from many tales and depictions.mic_a: Bigtime showbiz became a nasty experience for him. But I'm weird, for me the Pee Wee thing is an odd footnote to Panter's own work. Jimbo! Dal Tokyo! Songy of Paradise!
mic_a: Those monk of doom gazoos were runnin' all over the place in the early 70s.
