ok. so before giving over to a playlist 'play-list' ..... one album could/should be suggested be suggested
Unfortunately full playlist postings have been disabled for embedding by youtube.... but after the jump: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9dk_xtWpAkKXxzv_TfLWmlJj6G3quWQ2
or via (unfortunately)...https://open.spotify.com/album/7lXgEecCoWkW1Lvf2jpN4y
But this is an ALBUM for full listening .....
for some sample insights....you can follow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpcmUECP3Fw
but its wayyyyyyy more then that. it's not just about musical indexes and folding forward. there are minor transductions and phase shifts everywhere happening. exponential powers to the power of ten -expanded notions and notations, ok, but also futurities. a washy-ness, turning and torque-ing through rhizomes for multi-modal ways of listening and escape routes in the everyday. it's also been crafted as a moebius - beginning where it ends and ending where it begins -- which is why it's important to listen to as a album, and not as a sequence of tracks. and then there's the whole story of the album itself, relative to the life of Yancey. but i'll let the internet take care of those stories. and this is isn't news, and very much an easy canon to cite. but i'm just foregrounding because if there were ever a middleandmiddlingexcess of in-the-midstextramusicality of midst and cracks-cracking...futurity present-passing.... time invented and made.... there's lot to still study here. that still resounds and gives lessons.
.....how long until we get to listen/read 'In the Break' by Moten? but i digress.
.......
.....and i can't not mention Madvilliany in the same breath as Donuts... because of the how and ways of listening activated in the dissonance and breathing:

.....and if you have appetites for digging a bit deeper /// the whole Stones Throw: My Vinyl Weighs a ton, documentary is excellent ... particularly relative to Madlib and J Dilla. but also just Love and resistance. music can be counted on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfD_G-nu6sM
.....oh. and Mellow Music Group is a good contemporary label, that has modeled itself a great deal on how Stones Throw came up -- but i digress.

ReplyDeleteDonuts is a great album! it has such an affirmative energy in the face of death. The title made me start thinking of sound loops as disparate collected consumable objects.
ReplyDeleteAlso homer simpson's line "Donuts; is there anything they can't do?" pops into my head whenever I think about them. It made me wonder if the writers meant something by it since some of them had mathematical backgrounds. So I just found this post about the torus (donut) form as consciousness, cosmic egg, frequency converter (http://haradimension.blogspot.ca/p/the-hara-line-and-torus.html) --seems interesting
I'll have to watch that documentary too!
