so. i picked up mark van hoen's playing with time.
i think it is one of the most baffling, amazing things i have heard in
sometime.. beautiful beautiful music.. with some odd moments.. often
sounding like glitches from a live performance (but dont let that scare
you off, its sooo good).
i thought this was live at first.. and then decided it most likely wasnt..
finally got around to looking at the liner notes, and here is what it
says:
"this is a non-real time recording that's not meant to sound like a 'live'
recording. all the best recordings since the early part of the 20th
century are like that as well. the reason why they're so cool is because
time is not linear."
non-real time recording? anyone care to fill in my ignorant head here? :)
