DISKORDIA 013

When I first heard Edward Snowden speak in an interview, I immediately thought of Terence Mckenna. It's not only the color of the voice and the somewhat characteristic pronunciation, but it's about the general wholistic approach and understanding of the big picture and life, people, the world, and the topic of their specific interests, respectively. It all works well for an audio experience, there is something very soothing to the voice of Mckenna and Astralwerks knew how to play with it well. 

Today we stumble onto Matthew Collings and listen to his Requiem for Edward Snowden >> Originally, a complex audio/visual piece including electronic sound, acoustic instrumentation and live, interactive visuals. It was mostly performed last year, I guess it has been released as an audio material, now coming up on diskordia.

Just for the heart, we also play Re-evolution.

~I'm not a woman

~I'm not a man
~I am something that you'll never understand

We say goodbye to yet another star specific to a certain era. All there is left is Madonna. 

Prince was a proliferating artist till the last breath, and the only one I had followed whatever he might release or do/perform. Remember how the world fell apart over Bowie and his identity transgressions that meant so much to so many...? Apply that to a male person of color and talk about gender fluidity in the 70s and you get our pioneer. The perfect musician, always over the top and gallant at the same time. 

I am forever in love with any of his phases and incarnations - even the odd ones with not such good music. Cuz I knew he'd get out of it into something new. 

Today we listen to a selection of Prince music, my most played tracks these days after his death.

Long live the Prince.
