Πρωτοβουλία Προμηθέας: Παιδιά Που Παίζουν Μουσική



Κάτι με το LP των Gold με το (συμβολικό άραγε; ) τίτλο Mission Rock που ανακάλυψα σχετικά πρόσφατα και που χρειάστηκε πάνωαπό 30 χρόνια για να δει το φως του ήλιου (παρά την υποστήριξη που θα έπρεπε να έχει και μόνο από την δοξασμένη ή και διαβόητη εποχή των 60Άs του San Francisco αλλά του Bill Graham που τους ανακάλυψε στο ξεκίνημα τους ) κάτι με την γκρίνια και τη φαγωμάρα σε αυτό το εδώ το forum ενός περίεργου πλάσματος με την κοινή ονομασία Πλατύπους (scientifically Ornithorhynchus Anatinus) με avatar το γνωστό τουλάχιστον σε όσους έχουν παιδιά, πράκτορα Π (Agent P –P for Perry) σχετικά με τα κίνητρα ή και τα συμπλέγματα «διαφόρων ακροαματικόφιλων-με-τεχνολογικές-ανησυχίες-και-ενδιαφέροντα περί θεμάτων audio» και της υγιούς θέσεως ότι νοούνται ως τέτοιοι (ακροαματικόφιλοι ) οι άνθρωποι που επιθυμούν και έχουν τη δυνατότητα να ακούνε (αλλά να ακούνε ουσιαστικά) μουσική...

και κάτι μετά από μια πρόσφατη συνομιλία που είχα με ένα παλιό φίλο, κορυφαίο μουσικό και δάσκαλο μουσικής καθώς και session μουσικό και sideman στους σημαντικότερους ίσως δημιουργούς στη μουσική ιστορία αυτού του τόπου , οπότε και πληροφορήθηκα ότι κάτι με την οικονομική δυσπραγία της τελευταίας δεκαετίας κάτι με το κλείσιμο των σχολών στην αρχή της χρονιάς λόγω του γνωστού μικροσκοπικού οργανισμού που ξαμολήθηκε να μας κάνει μοναχόλύκους καλά και ντε, οι μαθητές μας τελείωσαν και η σχολή έκλεισε και ο δάσκαλος αν έχουμε το Θεό μας πλέον κάνει επισκευές σε τετζεροκαταρολικά αναπαραγωγής ήχου. (καθότι και σοβαρός γνώστης).

Αυτά μου θύμισαν ότι φυσικά η μουσική και τα τραγούδια που αγαπάμε να ακούμε ή και να μοιραζόμαστε δεν φυτρώνουν σαν τα ζιζάνια στο μποστάνι μου ούτε στους server του utube ή του spotify ή όπου αλλού ούτε καν στις δισκογραφικές και τα στούντιο τους.

Πριν η μουσική φτάσει εκεί χρειάζονται μουσικοί και οι μουσικοί επίσης δεν φυτρώνουν μόνοι τους και δεν παίζουν μόνοι τους ή για τους εαυτούς τους.
Η μουσική και τα τραγούδια που αγαπάμε καλλιεργούνται στα μυαλά και τις καρδιές των παιδιών και των νέων ανθρώπων τους οποίους σε αυτή την κοινωνία που ζούμε τους έχουμε για να το πω απλά, πάντα χεσμένους.

Η μουσική και τα τραγούδια θέλουν μαθητές δασκάλους όργανα, εξοπλισμό παραγωγές, ηχοληψίες κλπ κλπ και ώρες ώρες και ώρες δουλειάς και έμπνευσης και όλα αυτά θέλουν καύσιμο, ενέργεια.

Δηλαδή κατά το λεχθέν "Δειδε χρημάτων και άνευ τούτων ουδέν έστι γενέσθαι των δεόντων"

όπερ εστί μεθερμηνευόμενον,

αγαπητοί μαζωχτήτε: Forumιστες, reviewers, administratorες, moderatoρες , dealer-αδες, αντιπροσωπαδες, εκθεσαδες, περιοδικάδες, δισκοπόληδες, studiαδες, ηχολήπτάδες, audiophileαδες, αξεσουαράδες και όλοι σε αράδες

να στηθεί και να χρηματοδοτηθεί μια πρωτοβουλία για τη προώθησηνέων μουσικών εδώ ντε από όλους εσάς, (...οκ εμάς... τι να κάνω και ΅γω...) από τους φίλους του audio και τη ηχητικής απόλαυσης μη πω καμία βρωμοκουβέντα.

Aντε ντε ...να σας δω.

Δεν ανακαλύπτεται η Αμερική φυσικά τέτοια πράγματα τύπου kickertarter υπάρχουν ήδη αλλού όπως PledgeMusic (πάει αυτή βρόντηξε...), ArtistShare, Indiegogoκλπ.
Όμως και κάτι πιο απλό και μικρό θα ήταν κάτι σπουδαίο. Μια απλή διοργάνωση για ένα απλό τύπο crowdfunding πουθα καταλήγει σε μια ανταπόδοση είτε ως donation είτε ως reward upon achievement σε νέουςμουσικούς. Θα είχε πολύ περισσότερο νόημα από οποιαδήποτε ξιπασμένη δαπάνη σε οτιδήποτε τετζερο-κατσαρολικό αναπαραγωγής ήχου ή αξεσουαρ και μπλιμπλικια , χιλιάδων ευρώ.

Ναι ενοχή ίσως και λίγη ντροπή θέλω να καλλιεργήσω, τη χρειαζόμαστε θα έλεγα και βάζω και μένα μέσα

Με αυτά λοιπόν κατά νου (και για να αποδείξω κάτι αυταπόδεικτοπου θα το δούμε αργότερα) και προκειμένου να τιμήσω και τον οικοδεσπότηαυτής εδώ της διαδικτυακής κόγχης ανασύρω ξανά το όνομα μιας παλιάς και ξεχασμένης joint effort audio προσπάθειας (σεκάποιο πατάρι μου έχουν πει ότι είναι πεταμένη) με το όνομα Προμηθέα, βάζω στο τραπέζι και ένα κατοστάρικο (100 euro ) και κηρύσσω την

¶μα λέω άμα μαζευτούν 100 σαν και μένα έχουμε δέκαχιλιάρικα να χρηματοδοτήσουμε κάνα δισκογραφικό project. Το πως θα το επιλέξουμε είναι κάτι που μπορούμε να το δούμε αφού μαζευτεί η κρίσιμη αρχική μάζα των προθύμων. Όλοι έχουν ιδέες αλλά και ανθρώπους γύρω τους που θα μπορέσουν να δώσουν τελικό σχήμα σε κάτι τέτοιο.

Mission Statement (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyV_UG60dD4&ab_channel=RoryGallagher)



For those too young to get the joke, this is a style parody of Crosby, Stills & Nash, a folk-pop super-group from the 60's. They were hippies who spoke out against corporate interests, war, and politics. Al took their sound (flawlessly), and wrote a song in corporate jargon (the exact opposite of everything CSN was about). It's really brilliant, to those who get the joke.

"Philby"

Now ain't it strange that I feel like Philby, there's a stranger in my soul
I'm lost in transit in a lonesome city, I can't come in from the cold
I'm deep in action on a secret mission, contact's broken down
Time drags by, I'm above suspicion, there's a voice on the telephone

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Well it sure is dark in this clockwork city, contact's never gonna show
I've got a code which can't be broken, my eyes never seem to close
Well, I'm standing here in the silent city, shadows falling down
I'm disconnected but I don't need pity, the night's gonna burn on slow

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Now ain't it funny that I feel like Philby, a stranger on a foreign shore
I've got my plans and I must move quickly, there's a knock upon the door
Still in transit and I'm close to danger, my cover can't be blown,
It's getting strange and it's getting crazy, tell me, what is going on?

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Four o'clock and nothing's moving, six o'clock and the daylight's stirring
Morning comes, must be moving on
All night long my mind's been burning, makes me feel such a long, long way from home, home

Now ain't it strange that I feel like Philby, there's a stranger in my soul
I'm lost in transit in a lonesome city, I can't come in from the cold
I'm deep in action on a secret mission, contact's broken down
Time drags by, I'm above suspicion, there's a voice on the telephone

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Richard Davies was born in Swindon, Wiltshire in 1944 to Betty and Dick Davies. Betty was a hairdresser and ran a salon, and Dick was a merchant navy man, who died in 1973. Rick went to Sanford Street School and, according to mother Betty: "Music was the only thing he was any good at school."[5]

His first musical stirrings were at the age of eight, when his parents gave him a secondhand radiogram which included a few records left by the previous owner. Among them were Drummin' Man by drumming legend Gene Krupa, and, in Davies's own words, "it hit like a thunderbolt". "I must have played it 2,000 times," he said. "That was it."[5] A friend of the family made Rick a makeshift drum kit out of a biscuit tin, and at the age of 12 he joined the British Railways Staff Association Brass and Silver Jubilee Band as a snare drummer.[6] In an interview in 2002 he said: "As a kid, I used to hear the drums marching along the street in England, in my home town, when there was some kind of parade, and it was the most fantastic sound to me. Then, eventually, I got some drums and I took lessons. I was serious about it... I figured if I could do that – I mean a real drummer, read music and play with big bands, rock bands, classical, Latin, and know what I was going to do – I would be in demand and my life was set... Eventually, I started fiddling with the keyboards, and that seemed to go over better than my drumming, for some reason. So you've gotta go with what people react to." He never had lessons for keyboards, but, according to Betty Davies, "taught himself most of what he knows about music".[5]

By 1959, his attention had been captured by rock 'n' roll, and he joined a band called Vince and the Vigilantes.[6] In 1962, while studying in the art department at Swindon College, he formed his own band, called Rick's Blues, and was now playing a Hohner electric piano instead of drums. The band included Gilbert O'Sullivan on drums for a time; he later was the best man at Davies's wedding. In a March 1972 interview, O'Sullivan said "Rick had originally taught me how to play the drums and piano – in fact, he taught me everything about music."[6] When his father became ill, Davies disbanded Rick's Blues, left college, and took a job as a welder at Square D,[6] a firm making industrial control products and systems, which had a factory on the Cheney Manor Trading Estate in Swindon. Any hopes of an artistic career were temporarily put on ice.

In 1966 he became the organist for The Lonely Ones (best known for being one of Noel Redding's first bands, though Redding had left by the time Davies joined), who later changed their name to The Joint and recorded the soundtracks for a number of German films.[6] He later confessed that he lied about his abilities to get into the group, admitting he couldn't actually play the organ at the time.[5] While the band was in Munich, Davies met Dutch millionaire Stanley August Miesegaes, who offered to fund him if he started a new group.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Bolling

Claude Bolling (born 10 April 1930), is a French jazz pianist, composer, arranger, and occasional actor.He was born in Cannes, studied at the Nice Conservatory, then in Paris.

A child prodigy, by age 14 he was playing jazz piano professionally, with Lionel Hampton, Roy Eldridge, and Kenny Clarke. Bolling's books on jazz technique show that he did not delve far beyond bebop into much avant-garde jazz. He was a major part of the traditional jazz revival in the late 1960s, and he became friends with Oscar Peterson.
He has written music for over one hundred films, including a 1957 documentary about the Cannes Film Festival.

Bolling is also noted for a series of "crossover" collaborations with classical musicians. His Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio with Jean-Pierre Rampal, a mix of Baroque elegance with modern swing, has been a top seller for many years, and was followed up by other works in the same vein.

A video recording of Bolling and Rampal playing the Suite was recorded in 1976 at the Palace of Versailles in France, and was released on LaserVision video disc and on videotape.

Bolling is also notable as the composer of the Lucky Luke animated features Daisy Town (1971) and La Ballade des Dalton (1978).

Arthur Rubinstein exclaimed: I thank God for keeping me alive so that I would be able to hear with my own ears Sgouros play. He is the best pianist I have ever heard, including myself. He then took off his gold watch and put it on Dimitris Sgouros' wrist as if passing on the torch. Two months later he was dead.

In 1982, at the age of 12, Sgouros made his Carnegie Hall debut. He performed Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3 with the National Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Mstislav Rostropovich.

O Δημήτρης Σγούρος σε περιόδους της καριέρας του είχε ενεργό ρεπερτόριο σχεδόν 40 έργων που ήταν έτοιμος να ερμηνεύσει αμέσως. Δεν πρέπει να υπήρξε ποτέ άλλος ικανός για κάτι τέτοιο ούτε καν για τα μισά σε αριθμό. A true force of nature, a prodigious talent.

Keith Noel Emerson (2 November 1944 – 11 March 2016) was an English keyboardist, songwriter, and composer. He played keyboards in a number of bands before finding his first commercial success with the Nice in the late 1960s. He became internationally famous for his work with the Nice, which included writing rock arrangements of classical music. After leaving the Nice in 1970, he was a founding member of Emerson, Lake & Palmer (ELP), one of the early progressive rock supergroups. Emerson, Lake & Palmer were commercially successful through much of the 1970s, becoming one of the best-known progressive rock groups of the era. Emerson wrote and arranged much of ELP's music combining his own original compositions with classical or traditional pieces adapted into a rock format.
His father Noel was an amateur pianist, while his mother was not musical. They arranged piano lessons for Emerson when he was eight; he received tuition from "local little old ladies" and learned to read music. His studies in Western classical music largely inspired his own style in his professional career which often incorporated jazz and rock elements.
