I love Gismonti's stuff esp. his collaborations with Nana Vasconcelos,like Danca Dos Cabeza.
Fahey also did some experiments in ambient sound recording that were very cool.

we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but
timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the
present. Ludwig Wittgenstein

Sol do Meio Dia is the album I love the most out of all the Gismonti I've heard (and, btw, I seem to remember Gary Regina playing excerpted melodies from it at Y2K4 or 6) . I'll have to look up Loro.
I had the pleasure of spending a couple of hours hanging with him in his studio in Rio back in '87, introduced by a mutual friend. He hands me this 10-string guitar that Ralph Towner gave him in a tuning that's who knows what and says, "here, play it". I graciously found a way to not comply....
Really nice guy, brilliant, soulful musician, of course. As I recall, a good deal of the conversation centered on the limitations of MOTU's Composer (remember that, "Fat Mac" users?) and the US's pushiness in Brazil.
Speaking of Gismonti, anyone here heard the Assad brothers rendition of some of his tunes on their first duo album? (I think it was called Brasiliera) Beautiful stuff.

Hi Tilmann,
Bruce here.
You've hit the bull's-eye.
"Loro" is a fantastic work. It's a Brazilian groove called baião.
I've heard Egberto plays the out-chrous one of two ways: either accelerating to light speed or slowing to complete motionlessness.
Either way, it's striking!
Gismonti definitely cares about sound! He's a master.
Best,

Speaking of slow acoustic guitar players, anybody hip to Egberto Gismonti?
he can really play slow and beautiful and then blaze away as well
he played an 8 string guitar in 1975!!
HIs early ECM stuff is wonderful Dancas das Cabasas (or something like that!) LOL is a good place to start.

I love his music ! It's really hard for me talking about his works... there are too many beautifull songs... Have you listen to "maracatu" ? Maybe the Cd I like mostly is "Magico" with Jan Garbarek and Charlie Haden. Check it out, it's marvellous !

Some of that "electronic music " can be found here. The 1998 - John Fahey &
Jim O'Rourke - Live at WNUR Studios, 40 minute archive is here. Pretty cool
stuff. Also 98s Womblife, which is very different is here. Look for the
password at the bottom.
