Other Musics from Other Worlds (subtitle: 'listen to an idiot)

"...and so you stay among yourselves listening to Peruvian groups with bagpipes that are heard by 4 cats and not even bought by their relatives!" (quote)
HERE I AM! PRESENT! I, the pompous know-it-all, frequenter of the most foul-smelling and hidden niches, who "will never be part of a majority" as that guy said in that movie... I propose that you listen to some of the most unimaginable stuff that has come into my hands and ears over the years. Trust an idiot, take 5 minutes to indulge in listening (reading, watching, eating, smelling...) to things you already know how they are, with no risk involved; it simply happens that your brain atrophies.
10) Darius Dolat-Shahi
This was one of the most sought-after and exceptional albums in the Smithsonian Folkways catalog, finally reissued about a decade ago (I believe) and thus no longer just fantasized about and sought after by the usual collectors. It is a successful and estranging syncretic blend of Iranian folk music and synthetic modulations, musique concrète, neo-tanktrik, and sound design; it sounds simply very different from anything you have listened to so far.
Darius Dolat-Shahi now lives and works in Portland and has recorded and continues to record, but this first album of his from '85 remains a little gem.
