Re: [NetBehaviour] long covid blues

[Alan Sondheim via NetBehaviour]

In a sense the complexity has no "floor" - that is, no fundamental raster 
or connectivity - it's completely analog, oozing, and that's a different 
form of engagement. setup time for example may be minimal; if I want to 
work on an improvisation, I may well just pick up an instrument and begin. 
There's also a diffrent level of care - no updating, but continuous 
tuning, maintenance, etc., on the instrument as something close to 
"living" in its environment. We keep humidifiers going, for example, in 
the winter, since the wood breathes and may crack -

Heh, not at all i find it fascinating. As someone who just dabbles* with
Ableton, field recordings and whatever Arduino device I can connect, it?s
really interesting to understand analog instruments and their heritage and
the complexity of playing them.

Complex as anything else, just looks simpler. On the other hand hearing a
child play a plastic ukulele which in no way can be used with bad fret
alignment just makes me wish they'd taken up Arduino.
In a combination of this btw, I did a LOT of work recording atmospheric and
other sounds with extremely low frequency radios; I still have the
equipment here and hope to use it again. The earth itself 'sings,'
especially lightning...

Hi Mark,

Now that you ask... Nylon is easier on the fingers than steel, and harder 
to 'twang' - it's subtle in a different way. And there's nylon and nylon - 
originally strings were gut and on some instruments I use Nylgut which 
imitates the acoustic properties of gut but is another composition 
altogether. It's easier to bend notes with steel strings, a displacement

I'm afraid if I play it, they'll break.

Hi Mark,

The music is from a while ago, unfortunately my playing now is stranger,
more angular.
It was a steel string guitar, I still do blues on a nylon string banjo,
mainly for myself, but it doesn't have the 'twang.'
Years ago I remember finding a steel-body National guitar for Son House
through Al Wilson.
I got infected by free jazz.
Spoke too soon about being over long covid; today was one of the worst days.

Best, Alan, exhausted and so glad you liked the music!
