Ridgewood Radio features concert recordings by adventurous bands and experimental musicians and restored archival tapes from private and institutional collections captured at venues large and small across the five boroughs of New York. It is produced by David Weinstein and Outpost Artists Resources operating out of the Ridgewood section of Queens, NY, where you'll find more yellow bricks than on the road to Oz and the cemetery of your choice is never more than a few blocks from home.

Pretty sounds (and some not so)
Hi David!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:10pm
weinstein:

Ha! The pretty ones are the mouse boys or the MIDI piano? Could go either way...
  3:10pm
nihal:

the schnitzler piece already got played?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:11pm
weinstein:

I will play the whole Schnitzler piece at the end of the show
  3:14pm
nihal:

I thought he never played in the states? Was it Gen Ken doing the performance?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:16pm
weinstein:

It was handed to Gen Ken on a disk and played off a Macintosh with piano samples.
  3:17pm
nihal:

Ha! Yeah, just read the Discogs notes

Dean:

The first volume of UC Press's Studies in the Grateful Dead series has been published, Listening for the Secret: The Grateful Dead and the Politics of Improvisation, by Ulf Olsson. More here, including a galley of chapter 1.
http://www.ucpress.edu/book.php?isbn=9780520286658
Meanwhile, the music venue behind the house where I live tonight will present a Dead open mic night.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:42pm
weinstein:

Curious. Common ground between the Dead and Derek B anyone?
  3:43pm
Dean:

Explicit, according to Amazon's blurb: "By drawing on conversations with some of today's seminal improvisers—including John Zorn, Jerry Garcia, Steve Howe, Steve Lacy, Lionel Salter, Earle Brown, Paco Peña, Max Roach, Evan Parker, and Ronnie Scott—Bailey offers a clear-eyed view of the breathtaking spectrum of possibilities inherent in improvisational practice, while underpinning its importance as the basis for all music-making." Had to resort to Amazon. My copy of the book is at home.
  3:47pm
Dean:

Definitely common ground: https://books.google.com/books?id=Ci80XXd9d1QC&lpg=PP1&dq=derek%20bailey%20improvisation&pg=PA145#v=onepage&q=jerry%20garcia&f=false

It's tough to teach. Zorn said some insightful things in a public chat before performing Hockey at Roulette last week. But not recorded alas.

JakeGould:

Are the dialogue snippets samples?
  3:51pm
JakeGould:

And hello!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:51pm
weinstein:

Yes, from cards with magnetic strips on them. fed into a "reader" that grabs them, sucks them in, and spits them out.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:52pm
weinstein:

And hello too! The recording time on those cards is probably 2 seconds.
  3:55pm
JakeGould:

Logging in to say… Wow. All kinds of tech interesting. Are they like credit card size cards, or punch-card sized? Sounds like flash card language samples.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:56pm
weinstein:

Punch card, for those who remember that format. About what, 8x3 inches?
  4:00pm
JakeGould:

Punch cards are about that size. I learned Fortran in H.S. in the 1980s on one of those things. Never mind that everyone at home had Atari, Apple or Commodore 8-bit computers at home… We learned it the useless way! whatis.techtarget.com...
  4:03pm
Dean:

I learned BASIC in high school, 1976-77, on a Wang (probably a 2200) with cassette storage. Fortran came later in college.

Good afternoon, David and Ruth and open-ear/mind community members!
  4:07pm
JakeGould:

The best thing I learned in that Fortran class was from it’s teacher who me and my girlfriend at the time saw shopping for records at Titus Oaks Records in Brooklyn. First, we were shocked to see a teacher shop for records. Then my girlfriend had a copy of a Roger Daltrey solo album, he winced and basically said, “I only care about the Who when Keith Moon was in it. After him, it all stinks…” Kind right.

I was a Fortran victim, programming music on a IBM 360/75 mainframe at the Center for Advanced Computation in Urbana, IL. No cathode ray monitors even, punch cards and printouts. And no A/D converters. We mailed the digital output tapes to MIT.

JakeGould:

Some days I wish I could code something and mail it off so I can wait for results. The dudebro world of coding nowadays is borderline finance-dudebro crazy.

Hoping to catch John Zorn at his Village Vanguard Matinee in a few weeks. But, when I mention John Zorn's name to any of my friends, I get strange looks and excuses (not too adventurous, this crew). I'll hopefully get there, subject my wife (or go alone). Looks like a great band.

Zorn's Vanguard project is fascinating, and not always off-the-charts weird. Just seriously skilled people having a blast at a legendary joint.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:37pm
doctorjazz:

I know, it shouldn't be so intimidating (my younger daughter, when she wants to explain to her college mates what kind of weird music I listen-and subject them too-finds Zorn on the internet and plays him for them). But, it isn't a game piece or something like that. Could be like Masada, or the other jazz projects he's done.
