TOOLS OF THE TRADE
> what tools and materials changed your life? <

1) My favorite tool is something too big to hold. It’s my litho press. I’m in love with litho. Such a stubborn, rich, mysterious medium.

2: This year I got hold of an old amp and double cd deck. I play mostly classical music on it. I also took a spotify account which I now play over this wonderful JBL speaker.

3: As a kid I discovered the Rotring pen and drew a lot of comics with it. It truly heightened the joy of drawing with it’s clear, even deep black lines.

During my recovery from heart failure I couldn’t stand pop music for a while. I discovered the healing qualities of 19th century, early 20th century European chamber music. From there I (re)discovered some later and contemporary composers who write work for piano and ensembles.
It was difficult to give Charles Koechlin priority over Gabriël Fauré. I choose the lesser known composer so people might get to know him. This is a nice entry into his work which was for it’s time very adventurous. Thomas Adès is the son of British art historian and specialist on Surrealism Dawn Adès. This piece is as dramatic as it is hilarious. The text is by Tennessee Williams. It’s great to see this piece performed by different soprano’s but I choose the version I got to hear it first by. Alissa Firsova is the daughter of Russian composer Dmitri Smirnov and a great composer in her own right as this piece illustrates.
Pop is growing on me a little bit again. For that it’s been the year of ‘The War on Drugs’ with me. This band manages to get me in a very sentimental mood every time I play them. I’m adding their version of The Grateful Dead’s ‘Touch of Gray’. Also I love Mokadelic’s music to ‘Gomorra’ (had a lot of time binge-watching Netflix series) but I have no room to add this to the list.

Studio Playlist 2016 #34: Ewoud van Rijn

1  -intro-
2: Fancy Space People
3: Chain and the Gang
4: Selector Dub Narcotic
5: Malaikat dan Singa
6: Various Gamelan
7: Angus Mclise – The cloud doctrine.
8: More McLise and Conrad from the album Dreamweapon III.
9: Lon Milo Duquette
10: The Apple Pen song.


1-intro:


2: Fancy Space People, space rock collaboration between artist/musician Nora Keyes and Don Bolles, ex drummer of The Germs (here on guitar). From L.A.. No album so far as I know. Could play this song all day long.


3: A punky narrative by multi-meta writer/musician/performer/’web-personality’ Ian Svenonius from Washington DC. He did a memorable gig at PrintRoom this year to promote his new book ‘Censorship Now!’. Many, many albums on K records from Olympia, Washington.This is with one of his many bands: Chain and the Gang.


4: First song from the latest album of Calvin Johnson (founder of K records) as Selector Dub Narcotic. He was touring Europe recently to promote it and I was happy to catch him on the wing for a gig at KABK. Watch out, this song will get stuck in your head!


5: Artist/Musician Arrington de Dionyso used to be in Old Time Religion and went on to form Malaikat al Singa, a band heavily influenced by indonesian music. Both on K Records. Painted Murals at Comet Pizza, the pivot of Pizzagate. I listen a lot to his: Unheard Indonesia, a long impro with Indonesian musicians.


6: Gamelan gives me goosebumps. Pitamaha-Various Gamelan musicians.


7: Angus Mclise – The cloud doctrine.
A selection from a large collection of mesmerizing sound experiments by McLise.
This must be a collaboration with Tony conrad on violin.


8: More McLise and Conrad from the album Dreamweapon III.


9: Lon Milo Duquette is a musician who left behind his musical career to focus on being a practicing magician and writer on the occult. He is still involved in occult organization OTO, originated by Aleister Crowley. Since a few years he’s picked up his guitar again and records and tours as a singer songwriter. This is from the album Sweet Baba Lon.


10: I love nonsense rhyming like this viral one the kids came home with: The Apple Pen song.

Studio Playlist 2009 #15: Ewoud van Rijn

hey ron, ik heb deze mail helemaal gemist en doe natuurlijk graag mee aan deze inmiddels glorievolle traditie!
Bovenaan staat weer Josephine Foster, dit keer met haar duitse liederenboek: -A Wolf in Sheeps Clothing. haar nieuwste: This coming Gladness is natuurlijk ook weer heel goed.
Op twee staat Jex Toth, Nom de Doom van zangeres van gelijknamige band. de openbaring van 2009 wat mij betreft.
Dan was er natuurlijk de nieuwe Sonic Youth die heel lekker is.
en verder heb ik veel van Thrones gedraaid.

Maar vooral heb ik veel geluisterd naar een 3 podcasts waarop ik ben geabonneerd. Dat begon met ‘Psychonautica’ podcastserie van Max Freakout. Die was in 2008 in Basel voor de World Psychedelic Forum en heeft alle lezingen opgenomen van mensen als Stanislav Grof, Kat Harrison, Dennis McKenna etc. etc., allemaal illustere namen uit iets wat zich definieert als de ‘psychedelic community’. In dit geval voornamelijk wetenschappers van het eerste uur die hun wortels natuurlijk hebben in de 60er jaren, maar nog steeds actief zijn. Veel lezingen over bewustzijnsonderzoek middels geestverruimende stoffen, bekeken vanuit antropologisch, historisch, psychologisch, chemisch, cultureel perspectief en alle mogelijke verbanden daartussen. Mind blowing, om maar eens een oude hippieterm op te delven. Veel van opgestoken. http://dopecast.libsyn.com/index.php?post_category=Psychonautica

Daarmee was het hek van de dam en om me nog wat verder te verdiepen in dat verschijnsel “Psychedelic Community” abonneerde ik me op nog twee andere podcasts: http://gnosticmedia.podomatic.com/
Gnostic media
en http://shamanicfreedomradio.podomatic.com/
Shamanic freedom radio
. Gnosic media wordt gepresenteerd door Jan Irving, een man met een nogal groot ego, maar als je dat een beetje kunt wegfilteren en dito de afgrijselijke intro dan krijg je een serie podcasts met een aantal bijzonder interessante gasten, waarvan de meest interessante ook weer de wetenschappers zijn. aanraders zijn #22 religious evolution, #26 plant intelligence, #28 the cult of divine birth, #30 en 31 ancient europe om er maar een paar te noemen. na podcast # 40 ongeveer vind ik t minder interessant worden.
De wetenschappers zijn het interessants omdat die over het algemeen het oeverloos speculatieve getheoretiseer, dat in dit gebied ingebakken is, inkoken tot iets daadwerkelijk voedzaams en verteerbaar.
Want dat is de andere kant van de ‘psychedelic community’ en de psychedelische ervaring per se, de oeverloosheid. Maar die is dan ook noodzakelijk voor haar transgressieve potentie. Daarvoor kun je bij Opaque Lens van Shamanic Freedom radio prima terecht. Bij Opaque Lens kun je je Neil van de Young Ones voorstellen, die een podcast doet. Hij doet verslag vanuit de eigen ervaring en vanaf street level, de straten, de ‘commons’ en het alternatieve circuit van Occult Londen afschuimend, af en toe uitstapjes naar Glastonbury op de ceremoniele feestdagen van de Pagan Calendar. Regelmatig is het programma gelardeerd met opnamen van lezingen die plaatsvinden in de October Gallery in Londen.
Een andere geweldige bron is Crystle Coles http://www.youtube.com/user/NeuroSoup
Neurosoup
kanaal op youtube. dit tengere meisje is echt een psychonautische geweldenaar gezien de schier eindeloze eerste hands en onderhoudende tripreports van alle denkbare substanties etc etc. dit alles in een meest nuchtere matter of fact stijl. Waarom ik dit allemaal zo interessant vind is een lang verhaal, maar het komt er op neer dat de psychedelic community zij eigen culturele avant garde vormt waarvan een invloed altijd, in min of meerdere mate en soms verhevigd, doordringt naar de bovenwereld. het is vooral dit proces van wisselwerking tussen boven en onder, sub en officiële cultuur, transgressie en consolidatie, wat ik interessant vind. En dit voorbeeld laat dat proces in verhevigde mate zien.
Beste nieuwjaarsgroeten,
Ewoud
