Cette pièce est simplement magnifique... Bravo

In celebration of our mutual birthday, here is my cover of Frank Zappa's Treacherous Cretins, from his album, "Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar." As with all of my SoundCloud covers, I'm playing all the instruments here. I really had a lot of fun playing this one and I hope you enjoy it. Happy Birthday to us, Frank!

Both the rhythm and lead guitar were played on my small Ibanez (aka
"Steve") mic'd with the Vox VT 20X, plus a stereo effect from cakewalk
 "Sonitus' Classic Sweeping Flanger." The drums are "Session Drummer 3
 Sizzle Kit" played on the Nord 88 keyboard. The Rhodes piano,
 orchestral percussion (gongs, cymbals and glockenspiel) from the
 Sonatina Orchestra Percussion, and Chamberlin female voice (also
 using a cakewalk stereo effect "Sonitus' Black Metal Vocal") were all
 from the Nord piano HA 88. The acoustic guitar and sitar were played
 on the Yamaha M06. And the bass was the fretted jazz bass using the
 bass pod with an amp model preset called "360." The wild sounds at the
 very end when the song stops were three different voice recordings
 from my iPhone. On the original, Frank uses some wild tape dialogue
 stuff in between songs to go to the next one.

Hope you all enjoy this! ~ Rachel Flowers

Treacherous Cretins - Frank Zappa (cover)

This is a something in between a re-mix and a re-make of an old montage piece based on recordings of electrostatic generators that I made in Teylers Museum (Haarlem), and sounds I designed around that. The piece was left out of the actual series of pieces ('Beauty Sleepers') performed there as part of the Toon festival in 2001. The re-make/re-model version was made in loving dedication to my father who passed away on January 24th 2022.

This is the third track of a new collaboration with my music friend Pete Swinton. I will be re-working some of his tracks from his excellent Project Drone Adzan Maghrib album.

This track is a re-work of the Project Adzan 6. It was mixed in the AUM app on my iPad and used the excellent apps VHS Synth, Stria, Eventide Blackhole, Kosmonaut, Bleass Reverb, Bleass Chrous, Eucliden and Barricade.

The Vier Letzte Lieder by Richards Strauss (1864-1949) is one of the highlights of Late Romanticism and is one of my favorite pieces with all its capricious chromaticism and harmonic modulations. The so-called “floating tonality”, in which the limits of the tonal system are explored. (See also Mahler and Wagner.) Originally it is a symphonic poem for voice and orchestra. I made an arrangement and replaced the vocals with the violin. The challenge for me was to present my VST's software (Virtual Sound Technic) as convincingly as possible, so that it was barely distinguishable from a “real” (acoustic) orchestra. That also meant playing/editing (and blowing in with the TEC controller) of 27 tracks (instruments)….using Divisimate.

Notes to this recording:
Last April, I went to a floodplain forest in southern Moravia to capture a bombina bombina at one of the wetlands. No sooner had I settled down on the shore than the bombina bombina starts to call. My son fell asleep in his bicycle seat, it was beautifully quiet, no wind, no people, so ideal conditions. I quickly connected the equipment and started recording. After pressing the record button, I heard a small sport plane approaching me in my headphones. It circled over the wetland and then over the floodplain forest continuously for twenty minutes, yes really twenty minutes. It alternately receded and approached. I cursed quietly and preferably away from the microphones, so luckily my comments are not heard on the recording. The next day I downloaded the recording to my computer and was determined to delete it. But I listened to the recording. Something happened that I didn't expect. From the first seconds, the picture seemed to me as a compositional unit. The hum of the aircraft engine entered the recording with gradually increasing volume and began to create a harmony in the lower frequency band to the call of the bombina bombina. Since then, I listen to nature sounds and the sound environment differently. During the recording session, I took a photo of the location and my son sleeping on the bike. I decided to use it as the cover image for the whole album Jaro because it reminds me of the day I started listening a little "different"
