Re: Live Looping: it pops up everywhere
Interesting that you think she would love Erdems work Rick.. however I think you missed a bit of this thread.. I was not in anyway having a go at her.. I LOVE HER WORK.. and know it well... this was quite late in a thread about recording quality verses musical, and I was talking about noise and how to evaluate it... the important point in the bit you quoted from me, is that she would NOT take recording quality into account when listening to Erdems work... and her evaluation of it musically was just a guess.... I happen to love his stuff, many will evaluate to ,.. Noise...

Honestly, Mark, after hanging out with her and her band for two hours and seeing her three times
I can accurately predict that she would love Erdem's stuff.
She's got a very sophisticated musical palette that incorporates some noise, found sound and
some of the best synthesizer programming (that is decidedly out of the box) in her simple
pop music.
She has as many avant garde sensibilities in her work as someone like, say Bjork (to mention a
mainstream successful artist who has embraced 'out of the box' sensibiities.
that's why I love her work so much is that she appeals to all the things I love musically:
great rhythm (and sophisticated rhythm), avant garde timbral sensibility, beautiful and
sad harmonic sensibility, a sense of play without being self concious and 'precious' about it.
I dont' know how many of her CDs you've heard but do yourself a favor and go listen to
her first two or three. The latest one is a bit more mainstream sounding to me and I like it less
(though I still like it).
