On the new CDA pod we’ve got a blockbuster interview with Gustavo Dudamel that was only possible thanks to AI technology. Plus we try out a long list of marketing ideas ensembles can use — Orchestra Roulette! Quartet Fight Club! good old reverse psychology! and …… weed? — to win back recalcitrant audiences. And our AI hosts try and fail to read some advertisements. The CDA podcast is the only classical music pod hosted entirely by AI, without the intervention of human producers, human engineers, or humans, period.

CDAI, ep. 5

What is it about the idea of devilry that summons fear in our hearts, and thrills us at the same time? Why do we shake at the thought of eternal damnation, but still secretly hanker for a taste of evil? Most importantly, do we make a pact with the Dark Lord when we put on certain classical records?

On the very first radio episode of CLASSICAL DARK ARTS, we look at Satan’s cabal of classical composers, players and theorists -- a sleeper cell run by Liszt, Paganini, Saint-Saëns & Tartini -- lurking under the placid surface of an ancient music.

By definition whatever you don’t understand is a threat. This goes for new art, political movements, unfamiliar faces and ideas of all types. If you’re not familiar you feel threatened. Get familiar. This is the music of the devil.

Joey Bada$$ - "Born Day(AquariUS)" [Prod. By Statik Selektah]

another mix,
In answer to the questions I keep getting asked.
 ccai pt2 , part 1 is Drukqs, as that was the first thing I released that utilised computer controlled instruments, namely a modified Yamaha disklavier, 2nd gen and a couple of midi controlled solenoid based drum mechanisms I made just after I got the Disklavier.

I kept seeing them [disklaviers] in hotels, usually used to pipe muzak around the place and thought why doesn't anyone actually use one of these to compose music on and make beats etc! 
A couple of times when i saw them in hotel lobbies, i sneaked up to the disklavier and set it to play ultra low pitch and very slow, funny watching peoples reactions, it was down every corridor etc
NOBODY i spoke to back in around 1999 inc. people at yamaha knew how to connect one of these to a computer and I had to take my computer into Yamaha to try it out to see how fast these things could go, no info on the net then either.
The first year I burned out countless solenoids in the thing and learnt how to repair them myself, the more recent gen ones like I used at the barbican have temperature cut outs on them thankfully, i’ve still fried a few though!

While busy at work, we also like to play! This song is not from the new album, but an indication of the good music to come... Just a little appetizer until we complete the main course. You may recognize our featured guest. Enjoy.

Classical Dark Arts is a show about classical music. Episodes are short, punchy, and low-brow. You'll hear choice classical music, movie & pro wrestling clips, and the occasional prank call. Classical Dark Arts is hosted by Will Roseliep, the author of the monthly CDA mailer, as well as 'The Libertine's Guide to the Classical Music Revolution.' Will is a cellist and a founding member of the Cambridge Philharmonic.
