(313) Delsin digtal
Heigh-Ho... For those of us spelunking for new Delsin in digital (or vinyl) forms, the Delsin online shop now sells fils in wav and mp3 formats: http://www.delsin.org/ I went looking for the new Chicago Skyway and came up empty at the usual suspects, so I was happy to see Marsel dishing these out. jeff

Re: (313) Business Automotive industry 'If General Motors were to lose out, I think Detroit would go under
The deeper questions are: If you don't bail out the big american banks, will the financial system collapse? If you don't bail out the american auto makers, will the auto industry collapse? Yes. No. And you know this how? Too bad people with so much clarity of vision haven't been in charge of things - oh, wait. They have been. Not only is it likely the industry will collapse, it's importance to the infrastructure of the national economy runs deeper than your apparent understanding. I'm not arguing here - obviously, you have the answers all neatly bundled. jeff

Are you talking net or gross? My friend started working for GM around 2000 and his hourly wage was around $18-$20 and I was jealous at the time. Net, of course. And please don't take my remarks as being in support of SUV's in general or stupid mfg/marketing decisions made by the big 3. I'm not. Something HAS to change in their business models. My point is that I believe there is a general ignorance concerning the ripple effects if we let them slide into the toity. Much more will follow if that happens - and it will take much more time and $ to fix it. j

Correction - I meant gross. W/o overtime, I pulled in between 40-45 k per year. j theREAL wrote: Are you talking net or gross?

Re: (313) Business Automotive industry 'If General Motors were to lose out, I think Detroit would go under
No, but I don't have to. I worked there for 31 years - 28 of it right down on the assembly line. I know enough to say with authority that nobody made that kind of cash unless he or she worked some hefty overtime hours. On the 40 hours that I got most of the time, I pulled in right around 40k a year. Anyone who says anything else (and as I retied an International UAW-GM rep, I have some knowledge here) about the average guy on the line doing a normal work week is full of BS. I've read many an article which inflated our wages, our benefits, our time off, and what we made while laid off which spun some pretty tall tales. I'm not saying it wasn't a good paying job with excellent benefits. I'm saying don't believe everything you read about a job most people simply would not do (I'm talking the assembly line here). It can be an a$$kickingly hard place to work, and the jobs which aren't are few and far between these days. jeff Anyone remeber the article in the Free Press about the janitor at GM making 60 or 70k a year when he retired?
Re: (313) free idea for academic paper in Musicology....
It all depends on whether the sentence really IS a sentence (or a fragment). Ask any of my former comp students. ;-) jeff Jacob Arnold wrote: http://www.getitwriteonline.com/archive/032601.htm Most likely, many people believe they should not start a sentence with a coordinating conjunction because their grammar teachers in grade school discouraged them from doing so. Yet such a rule is completely unjustifiable. ;-) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You started a sentence with Or? ;-) MEK kent williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 09/25/2008 10:24:46 AM: When I defended my Master's Project I promised myself never to go back to school. After nearly 30 years of schooling I realized that I'm a terrible student. Ironically my work now is in an Academic department of the College of Medicine. I work with and for professors and grad students. But I just write software -- I leave it to them to do the academics. Suckers! But every so often I have an idea that has academic potential, and when I think of following through on it I break out in a cold sweat. But no reason not to share it: Detroit Techno's signature sound is based in part on dramatic string or string-like chord patterns over a bed of beats not that far from classic Chicago House. Contrary to the norm in western music, the chords are likely to be 'parallel' -- i.e. a pattern of 4 chords will be one chord, transposed from the root 3 times. The traditional harmonic rules of Western music, by contrast are more parsimonious in tonal motion -- i.e. any two chords in sequence will most likely retain any common notes. The transition between two dissimilar chords will move from one chord to the inversion of the second chord with the least interval distance from the notes of the first. If you are not a musician, your eyes are probably rolling up in your head by now, so more concretely: The Detroit way if played on a piano would involve moving your whole hand, but using (roughly) the same spacing of your fingers. The traditional way would keep your hand mostly in the same place, but change the spacing between your fingers. My suspicion is that the 'Detroit' chords came at least in part from a feature of the Roland Alpha Juno synthesizer, which had a feature called 'chord memory' -- you could play a chord, push a button, and thereafter, you could play that same chord with one finger on the lowest note of the original chord. Or, you could play a transposed chord by playing a different single note. A perfect example of the meshing of these two approaches in one song is UR's 'Jupiter Jazz' -- there is the signature stacatto chords of the synthesizer -- with parallel chord transposition, and a denser female chorus sound that exhiibits the more traditional conservation of harmonic motion. That contrast and overlay of two different harmonic strategies is part of what makes that song so compelling. Well, that, and the bubbling acid line. And Mad Mike's soaring synth soloing...
Re: (313) Carl Craig Moritz Von Oswald - Recomposed Vol. 3
Very nice indeed. I like that you gave it a slow kick - it keeps its gravitas that way. I also find the forms related, but it takes a deft hand to combine them successfully. Good work. jeff Kevin Reynolds wrote: I think its amazing that Moritz and Carl are re-doing Ravel's music with their own take. I can't think of better guys to do it and can not wait to hear it. I have done a similar project for the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. I was commissioned to remix a DSO recording of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring. I was given original recordings and was directed to simply do what I do. It was defiantly one of the most challenging projects I have ever done. As a kid, I was exposed to classical music via DSO performances and needless to say I was completely honored and nervous to provide them with a remix. I feel that there is a huge connection between western classical music and detroit electronic music, no doubt. I want to hear more artists finding this link. I plan to release the song on vinyl soon. You can hear it on my myspace for the time being. www.myspace.com/kevinreynoldsdetroit thanks, kev
