Questo è un consesso di menti sottili aduse a spaccare il capello in multipli di quattro e ad apporre tutti i puntini mancanti su qualsivoglia i. E’ un luogo di dialogo e di approfondimento in cui l’inutile riacquista la sua centralità. Tu, sperduto viandante, ti senti pronto ad entrare?

Today we present the LP debut of the duo “Hansson & Karlsson,” formed by the Swedes Bo Ingemar Gunnar Hansson (1943 - 2010) and Jan Edvard Carlsson (1937 - 2017): “Monument” from 1967. Give it a listen, you won’t be disappointed!

Enjoy!

Hansson & Karlsson ‎– Monument (1967)
Emitt Rhodes - Somebody Made For Me
Emitt is gone too. A magnificent loser.
A loser he surely was, crushed between the naïve weakness of his Genius and the obtuse greed of stupid record executives. Magnificent he certainly was, and the crystalline beauty of his compositions remains here to remind us of that.
2020, heavy with death, has taken him away at just 70 years old.
And the title of "One Man Beatles," by which he will be remembered by the few who speak of him, is in fact just the last affront.
@[G]: with deference and respect, I come to ask you: could you bestow upon us, even though we are mostly lacking in solving puzzles, a magical label?

With today’s listening, we find ourselves catapulted between Sixth Avenue and the Vikings, with these two Suites in three movements taken from the B-side of “Moondog and His Friends” (1953), conceived and performed by the then young Louis T. Hardin (1916-1999), otherwise known as Moondog.

Enjoy the listening!

Today we invite you to take a trip to 14th century Florence, where Francesco Landini (1325-1397) was born and lived, without ever shying away from traveling. What we are presenting to you are three of the many ballads he composed throughout his life.

Enjoy listening.

Classical? You don’t know much about it, but you try to sound sophisticated with jazz

Jazz? It's okay, but you like the bells more

The bells? I used to play them as a kid and then I would run away

Today's listening takes us to Rio de Janeiro in the 1960s, where a very young Flora Purim, ten years before becoming one of the great voices of fusion jazz, recorded (for RCA) her debut LP, “Flora é M.P.M.” (1964), still immersed in the “bossa nova” sound of the golden era.

Enjoy the listening.

On this carefree summer Sunday, we present to you a true gem of joy, capish. "Music to Moog By Gershon Kingsley" (1969) is the first solo LP by the famous inventor of pop-electronic tunes and includes, interspersed with Moog covers of The Beatles and "Für Elise" by Beethoven, fresh tracks from the electro-pop era, including the legendary "Pop corn".
Next up, a showcase of versions of "Pop corn", including the one that made it famous, by "Hot Butter".

Enjoy listening,
see you tomorrow.

Gershon Kingsley- Music to Moog by, full LP (1969)

Popcorn in 13 versions (chronological evolution)
One signs up for a Facebook group about contemporary classical music, and as soon as you hit the request button, regret starts creeping in as you imagine convoluted discussions about Xenakis's theories or the poor unknown artist trying to share his work in hopes of boosting his 45 views on YouTube.
And indeed, this is how it goes for years, until a Japanese person, with nothing better to do, writes: "Which LGBTQ contemporary composers do you know?"
And behold, the stagnant page comes alive with a flame war that even a dark web of trapper dealers couldn't match as they bolster each other to shoot up.
The Japanese guy gets overwhelmed by the torrent of indignation, accused of wanting to create a blacklist, while the non-indignant are labeled as complacent homophobes; others throw in sarcastic comments asking for a list of hypocritical composers, and down we go again in indignation (I had replied with Steve Reich and Luigi Nono: for me, the trolling question had its own rationale). Many leave the page - not surprisingly - indignant. No word of the Japanese guy: I believe he must have resorted to the ancient practice of harakiri. He probably had to write a thesis, craft an essay, form an idea to demonstrate how many gay artists have left their mark on the history of music. No malice, no serial numbers to tattoo, but nothing. This is a false and disingenuous society that feels the need to protect itself this way, pointing fingers like a machine gun and putting a rainbow picture on their social profile during Pride. I know so many people with profile pictures saying "love who you want" who, sitting in a pub, have said about a guy passing by, "I think he's gay." Oh, how many I know. Should I trust them or feel embarrassed for not having participated in the collective outrage? What should I learn from these people who don't even know where empathy lives?

Today, in honor of the good suggestion from Monsieur @[odradek], RadioCapish offers you a contemporary listening experience: Alan Kushan, born in 1960 in the Republic of Mahabad (Kurdistan, Iran) and moved to Canada in 1988, is a virtuoso of the Santoor, a stringed instrument of Persian origin, as well as an actor and poet.
Let’s listen to some tracks from “East to east”, an album released in 2001 by “X DOT 25”, an American record label specialized in World music. Additionally, for those who are more eager, we are also airing a concert for solo Santoor recorded on January 28, 2017, in Broadway, NY.

Enjoy listening,
see you tomorrow.

Eberhard Schoener / Octogon

Not only the minor pieces but also the side projects are the prerogative of the capiscione. Especially if he can boast of having the original copy - we're talking about vinyl, strictly. Also because these are often records that were never reissued on CD. 'Video-Magic,' in any case, is an album that would escape even the most obsessive completists of Sting and The Police. We’re in the summer of '78, 'Roxanne' has just debuted as a single, and 'Outlandos d'Amour' is about to be released. Andy Summers involves the Pungiglione in the new project of composer and conductor Eberhard Schoener, whom he met in Munich during his collaboration with Jon Lord. This is an ambitious hypothesis of "music for the TV of the future." Schoener certainly knows a thing or two about TV. And not only because he is responsible for some (electronic) themes of the police inspector Derrick. In Germany, he is an institution. The album (played by Schoener + The Police without Copeland, perhaps busy and replaced by a German session man) is so ambitious that it might be indigestible. And above all, it has nothing to do with the style of The Police. Endless synth patterns, vocal improvisations by Sting, an orchestra in a vaguely Alan Parsons style, atmospheres that are not easily decipherable. The solos by Andy, on the other hand, are indisputable. He didn’t just happen to pass through Soft Machine by chance. As for Schoener, I would also recommend his incursions into the field of Balinese gamelan. In particular, the album 'Bali-Agung' from 1976 - although I would decidedly advise against listening to it for those who have not digested 'Video-Magic.' Which I do not possess in the original copy but in the still valuable Italian reissue Energy/CGD. And I wanted to make that clear.

Today we are diving headfirst into 1960s France, where everything seemed musically possible, yet there was still much to discover and invent. We present to you two listens that are quite different from each other, but both fit into the most accessible range of the experimental music of that era.
The first is a brief soundtrack from the film “Maléfices” by Henry Decoin, composed by Pierre Henry and released on EP in 1962 for Philips.
The second is a collection of two LPs by Paul Boisselet (“Le Robot” and “Symphonie Rouge, Symphonie Jaune”: his only works, as far as we know), both released in 1965 for SFP (Société Française de Production).

Happy listening.

Today’s listening takes us to the Sestiere of Cannaregio in the Serenissima, where Andrea Gabrieli was born (around 1510), a master in the contrapuntal art of Ricercare.

As the only Nobile and Intruso on the site, I’ll start the review “what does capish think about Rock” - as “I reason and analyze” important figures and bands for the Nobile, coarse, and wild me. I’ll try to not intervene - or as little as possible - to allow space for your lexicon-driven folkloristic debates.

Today we take you by the hand into the Shanghai of the roaring 1930s, which at that time was a true crossroads between endemic popular music and the soft jazz from overseas. The iconic figure of this golden era of Chinese pop music is undoubtedly Zhou Xuan, of whose work we present a small taste here.

Enjoy listening.
