oral histories

For Mr. Chilli

Baseline

Typical song of a Screaming Piha (Lipaugus vociferans; family Cotingidae), the bird perched about 20m in tree sub-canopy in prime Amazon rainforest. I was standing beneath the bird: at that distance, its song was painfully loud.
Recorded 1985 by Richard Ranft in the Tambopata Reserve, Madre de Dios, Peru.

Touch Radio -Yannick Dauby

This recording featuring filmmaker Derek Jarman was made in February 1984 at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, in the Mall, London. 

To mark the publication of his book of memoirs 'Dancing Ledge', Jarman joined theatre legend Ken Campbell for a lively on-stage conversation. In this excerpt, Campbell reads a passage from the book and Jarman shares some family reminiscences.

Derek Jarman and Ken Campbell in conversation

Recorded by ethnomusicologist Rolf Killius in 2001 in a Sora house, Tame Gorjang village, Orissa. 

The musical structure of the performance is interesting: the lead singer begins the song with the second singer following just seconds behind. This results in an 'echo' effect that seems unique to the Sora, though a similar style is used in forms of both North and South Indian classical music where the accompanist (sarangi or violin for example) follows the singer.

Music from India: Sora ancestor song

One of the last Black Country chainmakers, Lucy Woodall, sings the worksong ‘Chainmaker lad is a masher’ and talks about singing. 

Recorded by Roy Palmer in Old Hill, Dudley, West Midlands, England. There was much iron and coal production in this area of England since the 1600s and chainmaking, centered around towns south of Dudley, was a flourishing business, now defunct. Songs like these are documents of our history and heritage.

Chainmaker lad is a masher

This is one of the earliest recordings of chamber music, recorded over 100 years ago, in 1905.  

In this performance of the Minuet and Trio from Beethoven’s Piano Trio in C minor Op. 1 No. 3, both the violinist and cellist were born in the mid 1850s.  In fact, the violinist was born only thirty years after the death of Beethoven.  The sound is remarkable clear for its age.
