papsrus Posted July 29, 2011 Report Posted July 29, 2011 I'm going to check this out. Thanks The photos on your site (nice site, btw) with the dancers in what looked to be a storefront window were great. And what kind of wild frontier are those frets from?! Quote
7/4 Posted July 29, 2011 Author Report Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) I'm going to check this out. Thanks The photos on your site (nice site, btw) with the dancers in what looked to be a storefront window were great. And what kind of wild frontier are those frets from?! The dance company was quite an experience. The two shows in the storefront were marathons, 5-6 hours or so. I'd play for an hour, then set up a loop and take a break. A chance for me to stretch out too. The guitar is fretted in the tuning system known as Just Intonation, intervals from the harmonic series. This guitar has 62 notes to the octave. The radio broadcasts have no guitar music. Edited July 29, 2011 by 7/4 Quote

7/4 Posted August 3, 2011 Author Report Posted August 3, 2011 Will this be archived for later listening? My sister asked me the same thing and I don't know. I'm going to miss it. http://www.kkfi.org/ Quote
jeffcrom Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 I went to the radio station's website, and didn't see anything about archived shows. I didn't want to be tied to my computer for two hours tonight, so I plugged in my little digital recorder. I'll listen over the next several days - probably in several sessions - I expect I'll be ready for something swinging after the first 45-minute John Cage piece for microtonal cello. But I'm looking forward to hearing it all. Quote
jeffcrom Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 I'm listening to the string quartet now. Slow-moving, strange, astringent, and fascinating. What's going on in terms of instrumentation? Is this all played on cello? A quick preview of the electronic drone piece makes me think that it may have been broadcast (or recorded by me) at too high a level. Damn. Quote

The drone in the string qt is the cello. The two violins and the viola are doing all the other work. Quote

The drone in the string qt is the cello. The two violins and the viola are doing all the other work. Yeah, the electronic piece sounded "clipped." Thanks for the answer to my stupid question. I know it was listed as a string quartet, but it was impossible to tell, much of the time, how many instruments were actually playing, and what was "real" and what was produced by difference tones. Pretty cool. Quote
