Re: (313) Theo Parrish Interview

2009-12-09 Thread David Powers
I was disappointed in his final comments, because I think he missed
something really important about music. And not in his defense of
vinyl per se, but in his attempt to sum up what a DJ is. DJ's, like
live musicians, are responsible for presenting music live. The
physicality of carrying around crates of vinyl and getting your hands
dirty might be a part of DJing, but this is only a surface aspect of
DJing, and not at all the essence of what the DJ (or other live
musician) does.

In my opinion the essence of what live musicians and DJ's do is to
create vibrations at a particular space and time for a particular
group of people. Being able to hear fully vibrations, knowing which
vibrations to create, and having the ability to create those
vibrations is what it takes to become a master of vibrations, whatever
the genre and instruments. Theo Parrish's reference to Kung Fu is
telling, for a Kung Fu master is not only one who has mastered some
technical exercises, but is suppsed to be one whose discipline has led
them to some level of spiritual insight. In other words, it is not
just the surface actions that the Kung Fu master performs, but the
state of mind from which those actions arise.

For musicians, the ability to hear that is the key to mastery of
music. For me their are three levels of hearing: hearing with the ear,
hearing with the mind, and hearing with the soul. When you can really
hear on all three levels, you will have total awareness of the
vibrations you are creating, and knowledge of what those vibrations
do. This is fundamental to mastering all musical practice. And it is
the inability to really listen, and a lack of knowledge of great
music, not the inability to spin vinyl, that is really what gets in
the way of younger producers and DJ's. For me, it is essential to, at
minimum, have some understanding of jazz, Western classical, Indian
classical, and West African drumming. These traditions have mastered
different aspects of creating vibration that are fundamental to music
making in general, regardless of genre.

Whether you spin vinyl, hit keys on an acoustic piano, or plug in an
ipod, if you aren't fully aware of the vibration you create, you
cannot master music, even if your actions are technically precise.

For me, the role of a musician or DJ very close to that of a shaman.
Some I have studied with, such as William Parker and Billy Hart, have
emphasized the power of music to heal. This means that making music
publicly requires a high level of responsibility. The world is full of
negative vibrations that are used to enslave people and to produce
consumer consciousness. Vibrations can literally make people sick!
Responsible musicians and DJ's need to realize how powerful vibrations
are and how great the responsibility to use this power wisely is...
the second you leave your bedroom, you assume a part in the great
spiritual tradition of music. You have just as much of a
responsibility as the masters (individuals such as Beethoven, Chopin,
Cecil Taylor, Ravi Shankar, or John Coltrane) did to create powerful
vibrations that can heal and inspire us as human beings.

RE: (313) Theo Parrish on Coronation Street

2009-01-29 Thread Tristan Watkins
Coronation Street spotting is becoming a bit of an electronic music
community pass-time. There was a lovely T-Funkshun poster a few years back
(they're starting back up again, for those who care), and actually London's
To The Bone were featured on East Enders via an East Village poster not that
long ago. Evidence: http://www.phonopsia.co.uk/pics/EastEndersTTB.jpg 

Hannah pointed out the Theo Parrish poster the other day. We're beginning to
get numb to it I think. 

In other pop-culture spotting news, check page 40 if this month's DJ Mag for
a picture of me raving at last year's BLOC. Not an exciting picture
whatsoever, but it was a funny surprise when I got a text from a friend
about it this afternoon! 
 
On the [313] tip, and to tie this all together, I heard one of the latest
$tinkworx tracks on the lastest To The Bone podcast and was most impressed.
Excellent work J.T. I've been meaning to post about this for a bit but I log
on to this PC about once/week and I can't post to [313] with this account
from my other computer so I don't post much here anymore. I should just sign

RE: (313) Theo Parrish in Adidas AdverT

2008-02-15 Thread Stoddard, Kamal
I'd like to say simply that I actually agree with what martin says about
the company itself. My point was that I'm more in favour of the viral
stuff because instead of being an endeavor that only employs internal
corpo's that get it really wrong in the end (that old guard), this new
model has to, at some point, drop cash to those a bit closer to home
(because they're too far removed to do it themselves and they've finally
realized that). Plus it's not as insulting. 
It's like if I was a girl, and a dude gave me a box of funky licorice
from the dollar store and said, "lets fxck later". He'd go flat. But if
you come with my favorite choc's and said "I'd love to make you
breakfast" it'd go over a bit better. Even though every chick knows
you're really saying the same thing, class and attention to your
interests are appreciated. I'd argue moreso when they don't align with
your own interests at all (it FEELS more selfless).
 I guess what I'm saying is, it's nice to see the corpos executing
things with a bit more class, even if they're the same inside. And even
if they don't care about theo, I do, and that's got to count for
something (I know, that's exactly why they did it). But I do agree
wholeheartedly about the non-entity and their ultimate aim.

reposting your first mail you sent on the topic:


The problem for big brands is they don't actually make anything,
there's no such thing as Adidas - as the modern economy is concept
based, driven by ideas and transient notions. Therefore it should  
come

as no surprise when they try to tie this something real or something
that would generate an emotional response to their nebulous lifestyle
choices.


I recall someone mentioned "like music"

I read the Buddha's teachings Martin - basically says the same thing  
but he

had the wisdom to apply it to everything in our material world.


Good for you.



The "product" you create - Dust Science Recordings, really has no more
value than what Adidas creates.  You can't take either of them with

Value is a perception but your wrong about DS, we actually make  
something from start to finish, if I could press the plastic I would.




All this record collecting, trainer worship/collecting, making of more
products - is a futile attempt at immortality. Eventually it will  
all be

lost.


I'm glad that things will get lost in time (like tears in rain :) but  
to suggest it's a futile attempt attempt at immortality is ridiculous.





So whatever you level at Adidas you can also apply to your own  
company.


What I leveled at them was they don't exist.

*sigh*  yes, of course it is - it's advertising fer chrissake

reposting your first mail you sent on the topic:

I recall someone mentioned "like music"

I read the Buddha's teachings Martin - basically says the same thing but he
had the wisdom to apply it to everything in our material world.
The "product" you create - Dust Science Recordings, really has no more
value than what Adidas creates.  You can't take either of them with you
when you die.
All this record collecting, trainer worship/collecting, making of more
products - is a futile attempt at immortality. Eventually it will all be
lost.

So whatever you level at Adidas you can also apply to your own company.

RE: (313) Theo Parrish in Adidas AdverT

2008-02-15 Thread Robert Taylor
It's the same company!
http://www.catdestroyshomes.org/article.php?id=258
>From War on Want report:
"Caterpillar is the largest UK employer in the earth moving and
construction industry, and is known on the high street for its range of
rugged boots and fashion accessories. As a company, Caterpillar claims
to maintain "a strong focus on social responsibility", while its Code of
Worldwide Business Conduct boasts "high ethical standards" through which
Caterpillar should "set an example for others to follow". 

Yet Caterpillar's armoured bulldozers have been responsible for the
destruction of thousands of Palestinian homes, schools, wells and olive
groves. Caterpillar's bulldozers have also been used in the construction
of the Separation Wall which Israel has built on Palestinian land and
which has been ruled illegal by the International Court of Justice. As a
result of this involvement and abuse of Palestinian's human rights,
Caterpillar has been subjected to unprecedented criticism from the
United Nations and international human rights groups"

I'm not having a pop at anyone wearing their products as I'm sure
there's plenty of stuff I wear that's made by ethically dubious
companies - my point is that it's very hard to be totally ethical in
your consumer habits. Unless you grow/rear your own cotton, wool and
leather and make your own clothes and shoes. 
Adidas and Nike all use sweatshop labour of course.
New Balance don't, but they just use cheap immigrant labour instead!

although I hate Adidas for their extra-ugly-politics ...

is not all "pc", there´s a lot of contradictions ..

and still together with the label monika-enterprise
we also just released a "for free" compilation
to promote some real fair-fashion-brands

and I think there should be more of this kind of
underground-coop-stuff working on alternatives

Maybe we've gone just about as far away from Detroit Techno on this
thread as is possible, but I will say this: The Herbie Hancock/Joni
Mitchell CD has some brilliant work on it.  I'd never feel bad about
Herbie winning a Grammy.

And it makes me feel really frickin old to think that I've been
listening to both Joni and Herbie for 35 years.  Of course, I don't
have to actually listen to them -- I just push play in my head. Same
with the Beatles. My mom gave me most of the Beatles discography for
christmas one year when it came out on CD, and I don't think I've ever
actually played them.

I have gone through and sampled individual Ringo drum hits though ;-)

I have NFI really about a grammy. if you get nominated, it'd be sweet
to get a chance to win one. I'm sure there is a lot of politicking and

  Adidas basically documents a "day in the life of" with a barely
noticeable fact that he's wearing their shoes.


That's the whole point of the advert tho MEK, they've done the BUY  
NOW, so they've switched to mnml :) If you've ever seen what it takes  
to "document" a day in the life of film (8+ people) you'd question the  
validity...


"these people are cool, don't shove it in their face or they'll kick  
off, slip it in the back-door" - hardly ground breaking, discrete or  
new - Seth Godin 101. It's purpose is very clear and I've seen lots of

I should point out that for me this discussion isn't really about

an emotional response to their nebulous lifestyle choices as I mention

I think you'd be surprised.

As many grumps that are on this list [myself included] they're still  
highly influential - even if the "one" someone you respect  or admire  
says one line - it's enough to persuade.


let's also not forget "my adidas" by Run DMC - wonder if that was a  
giant commercial? or just a true love? Do a search for Nike.. or  
adidas tattoos on google and see what you find. kinda sick. I highly  
doubt the shoe companies paid them...


I admit I looked at it and was actually happy that Adidas got behind  
it instead of someone else. I'm still fighting with whether to loathe  
or love them but I think they give the appearance of being better  
than say ... n*ke? I've been more of an adidas kinda person only  
because I could find entirely synthetic, non-animal based shoes..


for me - sustainability + green is the next step for any company and  
adidas, with their support of things like Stella McCartney - an avid  
vegan / and against animal products - for me it's one of the only  
companies on a large scale that understands the balance between style  
+ sustainability.

I sincerely doubt that the 313 mailing list demographic is

is expensive to produce
(compared to traditional marketing) but I don't see how effective  
it is either. So Adidas have
generated a lot of discussion (never bad) and perhaps even earned  
some grudging respect (also good
for them) but I for one will not find myself in a sports shop  
thinking "huh, maybe I should by

this Adidas branded product because they are down with tha D".

But then, virals aren't supposed to work like that as far as I  
understand it. Do you remember DJ

anything to do with Jeans (wasn't it

Lee or something?).

RE: (313) Theo Parrish in Adidas AdverT

2008-02-14 Thread Michael . Elliot-Knight
If he was advertising for some new Roland product would it be any less
uncomfortable for you?

I know there's the argument that Roland makes products for music and it's a
logical extension but it's still shilling for your dollars.
Maybe Theo likes and wears Adidas.

What's good about it is that there really isn't any compromise on Theo's
part.  Adidas basically documents a "day in the life of" with a barely
noticeable fact that he's wearing their shoes.
Then they tag it at the end just so you know who funded the whole document.
Of course they are using Theo for the cool points but shit, Run DMC
fxcking wrote a song about Adidas in the first place, so the door has to
swing both ways.

Re: (313) Theo Parrish in Adidas AdverT

2008-02-14 Thread Thomas D. Cox, Jr.
the reason i like something like the RBMA is that it gives something
back to the dance community. something like this, i dont think you can
say the same thing. its a cool little video to watch, but how much
would making this have cost had it been independently financed instead
of having adidas do it?

im not an adidas fan, but that doesnt matter.  i think this kind of
thing is questionable at best. and they do show his shoes at one point
in the video.

Re: (313) Theo Parrish in Adidas AdverT

2008-02-14 Thread Nik Stoltzman
A couple of thoughts:

I sincerely doubt that the 313 mailing list demographic is sufficiently 
lucrative to warrant
creating a specific viral marketing campaign for. Are there other artists 
involved in a similar
series targeting other groups? I don't think this sort of campaign is expensive 
to produce
(compared to traditional marketing) but I don't see how effective it is either. 
So Adidas have
generated a lot of discussion (never bad) and perhaps even earned some grudging 
respect (also good
for them) but I for one will not find myself in a sports shop thinking "huh, 
maybe I should by
this Adidas branded product because they are down with tha D".

But then, virals aren't supposed to work like that as far as I understand it. 
Do you remember DJ
Super Greg? There was NO indication in that video that it was anything to do 
with Jeans (wasn't it
Lee or something?).

>I wouldn't say I love Adidas, but I do find this sort of advertising

>hypocritical reason.

I don't think it's hypocritical at all. I've seen the spread of
viral+branded content online as advertising and I like it or a few
reasons. 
For a start, to do it correctly (as I feel adidas has), the advertisers
have to be rather involved/knowledgeable Re: the lifestyle and content
that they want to co-op. this was previously not true in the industry as
the demographics and categories that were accepted as gospel were
previously determined by a rather academic process of long range
observation. This is why they so frequently went for the lowest common
denominator adverts and you feel stupid watching them.
  I should say, I don't have an intrinsic issue with someone trying to
get me to like what they make (unless they insult my intelligence by
lying or being pushy with the "buy it right now" stuff). This kind of
marketing angle is not meant to sell you things by telling you just how
awesome it is and it generally skirts the whole issue of competition
(none of the "adidas is better than 70% of blah, blah") it's meant to
make you feel closer to the company by them taking the first step and
supporting some of the things that you care about. 
 This has two benefits. Besides the obvious benefit of artists getting
money and not having to sacrifice their integrity (for that kind of
pressure would be counterproductive), you also end up getting money
flowing out to the smaller guys that specialize in the kind of media
creation they need. To put it simply, the money flow: 

old guard = company-> internal marketing dept-> research firm -> wack
commercial actors 

new guard = company-> guerrilla/viral marketing consultants ->
independent media creation professionals-> people you actually know and
care about.

In my opinion, this is a good thing and I'd much rather have a company
try to convince me that they're my friend and send some money to prove
it, than just a bunch of "low, low prices!" crap that's just insulting.
I mean, everyone knew it was an advert before they clicked. Did anyone
get annoyed and kill the video because you felt you were being sold
something? That's what's important to me.

that's the thing - the reason for the big shift in advertising  
towards viral + branded content.
The success of BMW Films as not only a brand but a story - to make it  
be intertwined in your lives.. that's exactly what they're after.


How many musicians or producers do you know evangelize software X,

I'll admit that there's a lifestyle that we live - and that they are

Very true but someone/something, somewhere pays the price.



So in termns of traditional concept of manufacturing, they do 'make
something' I think.


But they don't (I'd argue) - they sell the contract for someone else  
to make it and absolve themselves from all responsibility until it  
comes to taking the glory and $$$. People buy the rights to make this  
stuff, the only thing they do is the design. Just like Disney - under  
all that corporation BS is just a drawing of a mouse.


However the point about the vast majority of their intelligence  
capital
and their actual capital being employed to market their goods - and  
that

implies the sophisticated mediation of very complex but specific ideas
in direct and also barely liminal ways simultaneously, Martin's spot  
on

imo.


They don't have much else and this is where they excel often with  
brute force - they buy or command that floor space, it's not an

Still, to the extent that the way the do this obviously is in step

the latest advancements in the way humans consume media (why should  
this

surprise us? Adidas and their ilk are ice cold, ancient, 'consumer
killers'!:), that might cause some consternation to people who may

feel that the internet and it's newer visual parts are for 'the

Martin's got a refined point I think, although it's arguable that they
don't actually make anything. They make money for a start! :) But more
seriously it's *their* plants which underpay people in east Asia to
churn out these goods at a penny a shot, to be sold on in the west an
1000% margin.
So in termns of traditional concept of manufacturing, they do 'make
something' I think.
However the point about the vast majority of their intelligence capital
and their actual capital being employed to market their goods - and that
implies the sophisticated mediation of very complex but specific ideas
in direct and also barely liminal ways simultaneously, Martin's spot on
imo.

Still, to the extent that the way the do this obviously is in step with
the latest advancements in the way humans consume media (why should this
surprise us? Adidas and their ilk are ice cold, ancient, 'consumer
killers'!:), that might cause some consternation to people who may still
feel that the internet and it's newer visual parts are for 'the people'
and similar notions like that

The problem for big brands is they don't actually make anything,
there's no such thing as Adidas - as the modern economy is concept
based, driven by ideas and transient notions. Therefore it should come
as no surprise when they try to tie this something real or something
that would generate an emotional response to their nebulous lifestyle

 I agree with Kent. Selling out is about compromising values.

 I will also add - An artist has to eat - and it's great that they have
 other means of income other than just make records. Better something
 cool like an adidas ad, than say flipping burgers or being stuck in an
 office. Face it, not much $ is being made on making records.

 I have NFI really about a grammy. if you get nominated, it'd be sweet
 to get a chance to win one. I'm sure there is a lot of politicking and

RE: (313) Theo Parrish in Adidas AdverT

2008-02-14 Thread Nik Stoltzman
I wouldn't say I love Adidas, but I do find this sort of advertising more 
acceptable for some
hypocritical reason. I think the best I can hope to do is maintain a healthy 
level of
self-criticism. I don't think I am in any position to pass judgement about 
selling out and keeping
it real (or faux).

That said, I do have to wonder why Questlove did that mobile phone advert 
(along with Madonna and
Iggy Pop). Shudder.

No doubt at all. 

For some unfathomable reason I still feel a very faint flicker of being 
uncomfortable with it though. Everything about it is done to make you feel that 
it's not an advert in any way whatsoever - and I guess this is just the way 
things are done nowadays. The artist is happy - his integrity isn't compromised

cool like an adidas ad, than say flipping burgers or being stuck in an
office. Face it, not much $ is being made on making records.

I have NFI really about a grammy. if you get nominated, it'd be sweet
to get a chance to win one. I'm sure there is a lot of politicking and
bias etc going on, but if I were an artist and people appreciated my
recordings and nominated me, I wouldn't be complaining. And I dont'
think you'd be either.

oh, but i totally agree with you when you talk about how
selling out or keeping it real are "mythic attributes".
In fact, I wasn't talking about Theo or Richie at all, just
remarking on how those who scream sell-out and the
double-measures that goes along with it.

i'm just trying to be smart i suppose :)

Theo is going to get all sorts of love from the 313 list that Richie
won't.  That's just the way things are.

Watching that video doesn't make me think Theo is selling out to
Adidas. It makes me think that Theo and a Film-maker got a bunch of
money from Adidas to make a short film that gets at the heart of what
Detroit dance music is all about.  I don't even think you can see
Theo's feet in it.

Worrying about selling out and underground legitimacy seems to mostly
be the occupation of people who have leisure time paid for by their
own selling out to whatever corporation they're working for.  'Selling
out' or 'Keeping it real' are more mythic attributes that people paste
artists with, which makes black in white a world that is almost
entirely gray.

This is a completely different thing than compromising artistic
principles to make money. Who in their right mind would talk about
Theo that way?

It's like they want their favorite artists not to sell out, because
they want to believe there's someone left that hasn't sold out.  Fair
enough, I suppose, but we all have to make a living somehow.  Let him
who is without sin cast the first stone.

Thanks for the report.

I think 2 nights of UR in NYC gave me a cold and I remembered Cielo
had bad/ little seating and there wasn't anyway I was going to make it
down there unless I had room to sit.. ok.. flop..

By the way, I'm now finally through part II of your ginormo mix. It's quite
impressive that you managed to keep the selection of good chunes so high
when you'd only just bought that massive haul! I plan to finish it by the
end of the week, work permitting.


cheers Tris, glad you finally got round to listening

That was prolly my second favourite one but it certainly was wicked.
Surprised that isn't on the album (assuming it's him). I think it had to be
either Galactic Traffic or more likely Synthetic Flemm which I'm thinking
of, although neither contained the bit when it opened up and I don't
remember the latter from well enough from Giles Petersen a while back to
know if that was it or not. Whatever it was it just blew me away. But it's
great hearing even just a clip of The Rink again as well. That burst a few
brain cells when it dropped too. It just kept getting more and more
ridiculously good at that point. Wicked that so much of that material is
from this album and will be out soon!

Maybe what I should have said is that when I would have previously prefered
a Cajual edit of a disco track to the original in 90% of the cases back
then, he transformed that percentage considerably in favor of the originals.
Or rather, yeah, he changed my DNA. ;)

Wow.  This is obviously an audience recording, but it sounds pretty
good, though the high end  is really attenuated.

plenty more unidentified tracks too though.
donald byrd's lansanna's preistess a highlight!
