  Free Jazz — Authority: 126
  I am not usually a fan of vocal jazz, let alone spoken word and jazz, for reasons explained earlier and elsewhere. From classical opera over musicals to avant-garde vocals, the artificial changes enforced on the vocal chords create an emotional distance to me, rather than the opposite, in a way that I cant really ...

  The Contrarian — Authority: 132
  This post is number two in a series from Contrarian contributors, friends and associates. Picking a small number of albums or artists from any decade of music is a difficult challenge.

• Aught-o-graph: Best Music of the Decade

• Month of 121 Shorts: Avant-Garde 2

  
  Brandon's movie memory — Authority: 128
  The Bridegroom, The Comedienne, and the Pimp (1968, Straub/Huillet) Four minutes in, it’s just been a long car ride in the rain with opera music playing (there was no sound at all for the first two minutes) and I am very suspicious.

  Brandon's movie memory — Authority: 128
  Zweigroschenzauber (1929, Hans Richter) The intertitle says “Twopence Magic: a commercian in picture rhymes.” Movie shows us a thing, then crossfades to a similar-looking thing. Much better than I’ve made it sound. Dada (1936, Mary Ellen Bute & Ted Nemeth) Shapes in motion, quick. Synchromy ...
