Wire Tapper #2

And some more -

Thabang Tabane - Richard

Thabang has been touring the world with his father’s band and other South African luminaries since he was eight years old. His debut solo album Matjale employs brisk tempos, nimble basslines, and intersecting polyrhythms, as Thabang delivers songs cognizant of life’s hardships with irrepressible optimism.

Werner Hasler & Kamilya Jubran - Yama

From Wa (Everest/Akuphone) Arabic for And, Wa is the third album from the longstanding duo of Kamilya Jubran (text, oud, and vocals) and Werner Hasler (trumpet and electronics). Here they work with “a unison of timbres, cultures complementing, the complicity of verses, and modes and languages confronting each other” by way of communicating their respective origins and contemporaneity.

Lucas Brode - Vague sense of virtue

The music of Hudson Valley, New York guitarist and composer Brode draws from jazz harmony, experimental rock textures, and African rhythms, having spent several years learning percussion from traditional Ghanian master drummer Yacub Addy. Brode often performs solo, leads his own trio, and is an active performer and improviser in the New York City and Hudson Valley experimental music scenes. Featuring drummer Kevin Shea, the recordings for Vague sense of virtue… were guided by Pauline Oliveros’s concept of deep listening, experiments with musique concrète, David Lynch’s dream logic, and the melodic style of Paul Motian.

Thursday Thoughts

It has been a miserable rainy day. A day for staying in which I did and this posted music online and did some reading.

Watched some Buffy online on Prime. Season 6 which has a great musical episode called Once More With Feeling.

I was meant to do a charity shop visit on the south coast but it has now been moved to the next month. I have also secured some exit surveys in Chatham between November and December - ten visits in all, so some regular work - just four hours on each visit and the company will supply my visor, ID card, questionnaires, and clipboard. I have also some other work online contracted between November right through to next October in the new year. Looks like I will be busy.

Halloween will be a full moon as well. If I start howling at the moon you will know what has happened.

Good Night
