Seksu Roba's spacey seksy sounds can be found on the crippled dick hot wax label out of berlin but we're based in LA. ecclectic, loungey (?) electronic music with an emphasis on melody and musicality rather than sample flavor of the week. there's free mp3's on the website: http://www.seksuroba.com other bands featured in the tour are Anubian Lights (with belly dancer), The Ray Makers, and Earthlings. All bands are worth checking out! Anubians have a brand new album out on Crippled Dick called Naz Bar you should listen to - very exotica friendly. goto www.atrecordings.com to check out both our albums for free!

It's a journey through early 20th century music history that led me to discover George Formby and "The Window Washer's Song" on Napster (R.I.P). I still have't gotten around to reading "Rock Odyssey," Whitcomb's tale about his brief stint as a Brit rock star in the 60's, and I spotted his book about Irving Berlin in the library, but that must wait until I finish "Bardot: An Intimate Portrait."

Most Macs ship with formidable audio capabilities, but harnessing that potential can be a little daunting. This straightforward recording and editing program lets you save and manipulate audio tracks from just about anywhere. Pull audio tracks from CDs, record Internet streams and MP3s, or even convert your old records and tapes from analog to digital format. Sound Studio's waveform interface makes it easy to cut and paste, shift pitches, resample, drop in crossfades, and more. The latest version fixes a few bugs, adds some new features (such as QuickTime export capabilities), and comes with improved documentation and tutorials.

I've got a couple hundred Indonesian/Balinese/Javanese CDs and dig them all. I must have (at least) 8 different Kecak monkey chants just for a start. I'd whip up a sampler for the Exoticaring but I wouldn't know where to start. Of course there are Western versions of gambelan that you might like - Lou Harrison, Evan Ziporan, I've got one CD on Laserlight that mixes gambelan with Carribbean pans. One guy you should check out is Sabah Habas Mustapha http://members.aol.com/sabahhabas/ He has a radio show in Germany which you should be able to catch, over the air or over the web. I really dig his 3 solo CDs - and he's touring out your way in a few months. Just poke around his site for info and example sound files. He's playing in a Sunda/West Java dangdut style, not Balinese, but way cool. Three books you would enjoy are: Bali Modern : The Art of Tropical Living Balinese Textiles and most highly recommended Images of Power : Balinese Paintings Made for Gregory Bateson and Margaret Mead by Hildred Geertz lousmith@pipeline.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 May 2001 16:37:38 -0500 From: Matt Marchese Subject: Re: (exotica) Ian Whitcomb DJJimmyBee@aol.com wrote: > He recorded a song that many relatively early garage bands covered in '65 > called "You Really Turn Me On (C'mon Now Song)"...I guess I never saw him > rising above the parody level, but what did (or do) I know??

This was a four part series on 2 Brit brothers that sailed and traveled by boat around Indonesia. The special contained spectacular footage of very rare exotic Indonesian islands and their cultures. The special was on the Nova series on WGBH, public television. The 4th show the brothers finally went to Bali for some rest and relaxation. One of them got swept away by Balinese culture and changed his way of behaving. Bali has been on my list of must see places since I was a teen. Thanks MO for the wonderful descriptions. I'm surprised the gamelan music didn't suck you in. I've always been intrigued by the concept of Indonesian music which is based in part on 2 wheels turning and when a certain place on each wheel intersects that certain place on another wheel a big GONG goes off. My recommendation for a peaceful hypnotic gamelan is "Javanese Court Gamelan" on the Nonesuch label. Slow chants (male and female), cricketts, frogs and a mystical feeling like a slug moving on a branch.

First of all it was great meeting up with some exotica list members and Luxuriamusic chatters. (Did you know that the Luxuriamusic chat room is still going? And people still pop in) Usually when I meet folks with similar musical interests you find out you share other interests too. And the time spent with these folks was worth the trip. As for the record fair got most of my records from former list member Tony Wilds. Nice fellow who had some nice deals. He was selling the "Silhouettes Segments" for $12. A new pressing of this LP that could be described as "Ken Nordine finds Jesus". If grew up in an open-minded religious household you will dig "The Hippie Version of the 23rd Psalm" and "Music to Watch Girls By" with the statement They say that god created people in the beginning of things. Girls included. Quite a design. God made it. You might think about that next time your watching a girl." Most of the records after that I got for $6-$1. Most of the $1 on Sunday when some were lowering the prices. But most of the booths it was sticker shock. CD's are cheaper. Peter Principle, who dj'ed at the in Hi-Fi sessions, was selling a lot of things from his collection too and gave me his best deals. And I met Jack Fetterman and picked up a few In Hi-Fi comps that are simply wonderful. I'm just going to play these thru on my show soon. Shake and bake radio. But I was too late to get the Kahini ones mentioned earlier here. Somehow got all 53 LP's into my new knacksack/stroller hybrid and got to Penn station in time to get back to Worcester MA. Hoping to be at the Hi-Fi sessions on June 14. Maybe I'll see you there. It's like Mecca, every exotica list member has to make one pilgrimage. and the stars are lining up for this one.

I guess to fully understand what you hear and see, you need more introduction, more experience and more performances of Gamelan music. In Vicky Baum's book "Tales of Bali", there are humerous descriptions of how the Dutch leaders are tortured and bored to death by incredibly long performances of the Legong dance, really funny. My #1 book recommendation BTW, if you go to Bali! #2 would be "The Beach", which is countless classes better than the film.

I've got a couple hundred Indonesian/Balinese/Javanese CDs and dig them all. I must have (at least) 8 different Kecak monkey chants just for a start. I'd whip up a sampler for the Exoticaring but I wouldn't know where to start. Oh, you should really do that! If I had that much choice I would probaly have to change my judgement about Gamelan, which is only based on a very few experiences. The Kecak dance is in fact an interesting phenomenon, as, although based on original Balinese dance styles, it was invented only in 1931 by a German artist, Walter Spies, for a film about Bali, called "Island of the Demons" and is performed for tourists as an original folkloristic dance ever since. > One guy you should check out is Sabah Habas Mustapha > http://members.aol.com/sabahhabas/ Ah, 3 Mustaphas 3, I've heard of them, when they had a coming out some 10 years ago, but I had no idea that it is Balinese music. > Sunda/West Java dangdut style I bought two CDs called Sunda Africa.

Chocolate is no longer on the menu. Instead, it's gold, gleaming honey that is being served, by the gallon and on the skin. It is of course for external use only. And it will be worn, in a thorough scalp-to-toe coating, by your host, Karen Finley, the performance artist and specialist in the imaginative use of foodstuffs. Ms. Finley really does work wonders with honey, which is poured (by audience volunteers) onto a mattress for the climax of "Shut Up and Love Me," her new theater piece at=20 Performance Space 122. The much celebrated, much=20 reviled Ms. Finley slides, twists, slithers and=20 poses in honey like a one-woman wrestling match.=20 She also achieves some remarkable split-second anatomical illusions sculpturing honey in the air. It's true that Ms. Finley must splash water on=20 her eyes to unseal them. But, ah, clothed in=20 absolutely nothing but her sheath of shimmering=20 honey, she has turned into the ultimate objectified woman, a bit like one of those human statues in=20 "Goldfinger." If the context of the image weren't=20 so ridiculous =97 and if Ms. Finley weren't obviously=20 enjoying the joke of it all so much =97 you would=20 indeed call it a thing of beauty. Such a term rarely came to mind in this artist's=20 chocolate period, descriptions of which drew the=20 wrath of conservative politicians and turned Ms.=20 Finley into the center of a vicious debate on the=20 use of funds from the National Endowment for the=20 Arts. There was nothing cosmetic about the mudlike chocolate she smeared over her body in willful self-degradation. No matter how explicitly sexual=20 the monologues, what audience members were really being asked to feel was her pain. These days, what with dark chocolate replaced by=20 translucent honey, Ms. Finley would seem to be in=20 a happier frame of mind. She continues to distort=20 and explode traditional visions of female=20 sensuality. But the hectoring tone of her monologues in recent years, in which she angrily massaged her=20 wounds from the national endowment wars, has given=20 way to a more amused approach, one more likely to find absurdity than tragedy in sexual combat rather. Not that "Shut Up and Love Me" is likely to make=20 fans of her detractors. The piece, which runs through=20 June 2, is still vintage Finley in its pointedly=20 self-conscious mix of confrontation and confession,=20 of raunch and aspirations to poetry. But there is a more pronounced philosophical sense=20 of humor in the grotesqueness, a feeling that this=20 crazy thing called lust, as in Shakespearean comedy,=20 does indeed make fools =97 and even animals =97 of us all. Ms. Finley is cheerfully insistent in reminding us of the awkwardness in eroticism. Sex, as she presents it,=20 is never pretty. The evening begins appropriately with an enthusiastic=20 and ungainly striptease, to moaning disco. Ms. Finley=20 unflatteringly frames her own flesh by bunching up her red synthetic satin dress. She wriggles and thrusts=20 various body parts into the faces of her audience,=20 grinning all the while like a spaced-out, eager- to- please cheerleader. What follows is a series of monologues, conducted from a bordello- style chaise and a makeshift lectern, in=20 which Ms. Finley portrays women in pursuit of sex.=20 These range from a stalking urbanite in a fishnet body stocking to a whiny rich girl who decides to resolve=20 her Freudian obsessions by bedding Daddy. There is=20 also, most memorably, the incantatory creature given=20 to picking up homeless war veterans, preferably=20 amputees. Humiliation is a given in these scenarios.=20 So is the blurred line between seduction and repulsion. Ms. Finley shifts from sultry Vargas pin-up postures=20 to something like epileptic seizures, between high- society diction and canine growls. She keeps trying on and discarding different voices=20 and poses, steps out of character to make=20 autobiographical references that may or may be not be spontaneous, stops in mid scene to start over and=20 regularly consults a loose sheaf of a script. As usual, the amateurism is calculated, a reminder=20 that we all wear our crude masks and that despite our=20 best efforts, they invariably slip. Most performers=20 have nightmares about finding themselves onstage with=20 their pants down or their skirts over their heads,=20 their lines forgotten and their makeup smeared. This=20 exposed state is what Ms. Finley strives for in "Shut=20 Up." The image she so artfully controls is that of a=20 woman incapable of controlling her image, the opposite=20 of the airbrushed movie stars on magazine covers. There was a time when Ms. Finley seemed to wallow=20 abjectly in such mortification; now she revels in it.=20 The results are hypnotic, funny, irritating and finally =97 in an odd way =97 cathartic, turning raw embarrassment into a form of joy. *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***=20 *** Ton R=FCckert Mozartstraat 12 5914RB Venlo The Netherlands *** *** mojoto@plex.nl http://www.plex.nl/~mojoto 31/0 773545386 *** ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ http://www.members.tripod.com/king8egg/exoticaring.html ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~=20 # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ End of exotica-digest V2 #978 *****************************
