Estonian composer Arvo Pärt is an unlikely star – a religious recluse whose sensibility is more in tune with the deep past than the present. Rob Young goes in search of the ancient spirits that haunt Pärt’s music. - mersenne from Bookmarklet

The government invited Fela to participate in an image-conscious music and arts festival called FESTAC 77—but he refused. “One big hustle! A rip-off!” he retorted. Instead, Fela played concerts each night in his shrine; in attendance each night were many international artists and journalists (including most famously, Stevie Wonder) who came to see the most popular African musician of all strut his stuff. - mersenne from Bookmarklet

I asked him how it felt to be in a coma. "Actually, it turned out it was just as gay as the song I wrote nine years ago — being in a coma was just as fuckin’ stupid as I wrote it was. We did a show on August 27 in Albany and we played ‘You’re in a Coma’ for the first time ever live. I don’t want people to think I’m a hypocrite. I don’t want people to think that I can’t make fun of myself." - mersenne from Bookmarklet

Truly, every metal fan I knew in 1977 was a bloke, and it was generally a smelly bloke with spots and greasy hair who had barely got past the hit-them-and-run-away approach to communication with the opposite sex. - mersenne from Bookmarklet

"For after a decade of Beatlemania, Bubblegum, Flower Power and Glam Rock, music went from headtrip to hips and feet again as dancing took on a cultural magnitude not seen since the Depression era of the 30s." - mersenne from Bookmarklet

Disco showed no ageist, sexist or racist bias either. Mainly because it had originated in the black, Hispanic and gay inner-city communities, during the peak Disco years every minority demographic came together in an explosion of mutual admiration and trust in the bass line. For whatever age, colour or sexual preference, everyone had one thing in common – a compelling desire to shed their inhibitions in a celebration of segued music and perpetual motion. - mersenne

"Astatke's music tends to ooze with dark minor or modal chord progressions, but set against a hip-hop drum-beat it sounded hip, sexy and infectious. Horn solos from saxophone and trumpet propelled songs into open-ended jazz-jam territory." - mersenne from Bookmarklet

"I remember a youth pastor preaching against the evils of rock music: he informed us that Led Zeppelin’s song “Stairway to Heaven” contained hidden subliminal messages (about drugs, Satan, sex, etc.), which can be discerned not only when the song is played backwards, but also when a person hears the song under the influence of marijuana." - mersenne from Bookmarklet

Cornelius Cardew (1936-81) developed a philosophy of experimental notation and indeterminacy that influenced art music throughout the world. He was a deeply moral thinker, engaged in a constant struggle for truth in art, life, the political world, and himself. In face of all criticism and mockery, he stood with his personal, political and aesthetic beliefs against British musical conservatism, the avant-garde establishment, and finally, the experimentalism he himself had created. - mersenne from Bookmarklet

As I write this, I am listening to an excerpt from one of Interspecies CD recordings of aquatic animals responding to improvised guitar. It is strangely moving music. The recording was made in an underwater recording studio attached to a boat. Underwater speakers emitted improvised guitar, and hydrophones recorded underwater responses. - mersenne from Bookmarklet
