Let There Be Light

Man on the rocks (cd2)

Mike Oldfield - Nuclear

La estructura de Ommadawn es fantástica. La primera parte se desarrolla sobre la base de una pequeña melodía tradicional, que quizás fuera una canción infantil. Sobre esta melodía se va creando una estructura que sirve para introducir diversos pasajes en los que a menudo se intercambian melodía y acompañamiento. Aqui Mike demuestra su ya consolidado manejo del estudio de grabación como instrumento y consigue crear una música contemplativa de una belleza impresionante. En la sección final la melodía inicial sirve de nuevo para crear otro ambiente aún más hipnótico entre tambores africanos y voces femeninas que enlazan sílabas en unos versos ininteligibles. Una de las palabras que pronuncian suena como Ommadawn, y es la que da título al disco, que no tiene ningún otro significado según el propio Oldfield. El final de esta primera parte constituye un auténtico clímax, dirigido finalmente por una guitarra eléctrica hacia la paz de los tambores africanos en solitario.

Mike Oldfield by Verdegris : Ommadawn (Part One)

My take on parts from Tubular Bells, composed by Mike Oldfield when he was about 15 years old and released in 1973. A single track without any guitar but still I hope to somehow respect the original feel.

This was the record that launched Richard Branson's Virgin empire, and the keyboard introduction was used as a soundtrack to The Exorcist movie in 1973. Mike Oldfield also played some segments during the opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

The instrument is a Nord Stage 2 using a sampled Bösendorfer grand piano, and an emulated Farfisa organ with phaser.

Image: Elektro is the nickname of a robot built by the Westinghouse Electric Corporation in its Mansfield, Ohio facility between 1937 and 1938. Seven feet tall (2.1 m), weighing 265 pounds (120.2 kg), humanoid in appearance, he could walk by voice command, speak about 700 words (using a 78-rpm record player), smoke cigarettes, blow up balloons, and move his head and arms. Elektro's body consisted of a steel gear, cam and motor skeleton covered by an aluminum skin.

“The avant garde is dead. That is its triumph. Let it lie.” - Chris Cutler in “Not As We Choose: Music, Memory and Technology”. (Highly recommended!)

“… there is increasingly less call to exercise an already too rare generosity of aesthetic hospitality.” - Chris Cutler

" Music is one of the great Mysteries. It gives life. It is not a career, nor a business, nor a craft. It is a gift... and a great responsibility. Because one can never know where the creative spark comes from or why it exists, it must be treasured as a Mystery. For the most part I believe creativity chooses you, not the other way around." - John Zorn (excerpt from the liner notes to 'Magick')

“Listen as if you were being told a secret” - Federico Fellini

“Experimental and electronic music was once not-so-benignly tolerated at the margins of western art music, but it has over the last decade or so moved toward a central position as something of the soundtrack of our digital culture. Where it once was merely tolerated it is now more engaged and doesn’t have to apologize to anyone”.  - Douglas Kahn 

"Through technology, voices are amplified and silence is broken. Spaces are shared." – Laurie Anderson

"I frequently hear music in the heart of noise." - George Gershwin

"'Tis an ill wind that blows no minds." - 
Malaclypse the Younger in 'Principia Discordia'

“Let us cross a great modern capital with our ears more alert than our eyes and we will get enjoyment from distinguishing the eddying of water, air and gas in metal pipes, the grumbling noises that breathe and pulse with indisputable animility, the palpitation of waves, the coming and going of pistons, the howl of mechanical saws, the jolting of the tram on its rails, the cracking of whips, the flapping of curtains and flags. We enjoy creating mental orchestrations of crashing down of metal shop blinds, slamming doors, the hubbub and shuffle of crowds, the variety of din from the stations, railways, iron foundries, spinning mills, printing works, electric power stations and underground railways.” — Luigi Russolo in 'The Art of Noises' (L'arte dei Rumori)
