That's SCG/Sublime Frequencies all over though, isn't it. Driving up the mystique through never acknowledging their sources.

That's SCG/Sublime Frequencies all over though, isn't it.
No. Hisham Mayet was in Brooklyn for a lovely film series centered around Sublime Frequencies movies in March. Very forthcoming and candid about sources, musicians, context of all his movies/recordings. Never felt there was any "intentional mystery"/mystique to SF stuff, unlike the early Mississippi releases.

it's true that some of their releases have decent liner notes. i guess this maybe applies more to some of the earlier releases like princess nicotine (which came out in the 80s right?)
― flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Thursday, 9 May 2013 06:07 (ten years ago) link
The original Princess Nicotine was compiled by Alan Bishop and released by Major in 1994. When it was reissued by SF in the 2000s, I believe there were liner notes added but I'm not sure.

*Majora
the bishops/sublime frequencies can maybe be accused of focusing on the more "exotic/esoteric" side of various cultures, but at the same time, I don't doubt that they know a lot about these various cultures...i mean, they've been actually going to all of these countries for several decades, i'm sure the interest for them isn't just "lol how weird".

One of my favorite concerts of all time was this one: http://www.newyorknighttrain.com/zine/general/live/mar/live032206.html.
SRB's set was perfectly placed between different varieties of nutso noise.

Crap the tickets link from issue project room's website says sold out. It's through brownpapertickets-- maybe it's just one of those things where they stop selling them online the day of the show?
― Rand McNulty (Jon Lewis), Saturday, 6 September 2014 16:44 (nine years ago) link
No, it was sold out. Great show! Dont miss the wfmu thing tomorrow.

Well, the show was fantastic!

so hamish kilgour sat in with bishop? man, that would be cool to see.
― tylerw, Monday, 8 September 2014 15:13 (nine years ago) link
He did! He just kinda casually screwed around with a plastic djembe and a few other percussion instruments. They did an unrehearsed little jam for a few minutes as the last number.
Richard was amazing overall though!
Tashi's set was very cool as well. Lots of tension and great use of sound with little experiments involving a bobby pin, a piece of foam & a safety pin.
― Evan, Monday, 8 September 2014 15:22 (nine years ago) link
oh man that would be coolhamish has such a weird drumming style! i like it.
kinda bummed that i missed srb show here but o well
― cross over the mushroom circle (La Lechera), Monday, 8 September 2014 15:58 (nine years ago) link
I was afraid I would! I drove to the venue and found a spot around the corner. Was kind of failing at parallel parking for 6 minutes as Richard sat on the sidewalk next to me smoking a hand rolled cigarette or perhaps a joint. I decided not to say hi...
― Evan, Monday, 8 September 2014 16:07 (nine years ago) link
wait fuck tashi dorji played the sunday night show as well? dammit. After saturday sold out I didn't try to get it together for sunday bc I really wanted to see dorji as much as SRB. I'm stupid.
― Rand McNulty (Jon Lewis), Monday, 8 September 2014 16:44 (nine years ago) link
He's playing Union Pool tomorrow night! There are still tickets. I've been asked to spread the word.
― demonic mnevice (Jon Lewis), Friday, 10 April 2015 04:36 (nine years ago) link
he's amazing live and i strongly recommend going

He sure is. Opener is Robert Millis (not a known name to me)
― demonic mnevice (Jon Lewis), Friday, 10 April 2015 04:43 (nine years ago) link
Millis was way more trad singer/acoustic guitar strummer than I expected but he did play one more experimental piece in the beginning.
