Such a hauntingly beautiful tune. I love the layered landscapes Page creates. If you saw It Might Get Loud, you know what an amazing career this guy has had.

I know nothing about these guys. And can’t really find any good info. So, watch, enjoy, then inform me if you can.

Unique, interesting sound on this. Wondering what the rest of their work might sound like.

You Are Now in Tune With the Sounds …

I’ve seen thousands of concerts and round about a dozen Roots shows. This one goes in my all time top 5. Maybe top 3. The Roots are one of the most dynamic, creative bands in existence. Ever.

Unparalleled in the universe as we know it, Liufang (劉芳Liúfāng), from Yunnan Province, China, is one of the most prominent pipa players in the world. (Talk about beauty, style and grace – Most of us don’t even get close!) This is a true master.

The Chinese pipa (琵琶 pípá) originated in China during the Qin dynasty (221 – 206 BCE) and is a very famous classical Chinese instrument, similar to the guzheng and erhu. It emits a hypnotizing sound… like running water. There’s even a Tai Chi position termed 手揮琵琶, or playing the lute, that’s named after it.

If you enjoy traditional Chinese music, you will definitely like Liufang on the pipa or guzheng. And if you’re not a fan yet, well…you SHOULD be!! :-)

Check her out!

This piece, called ‘Wild Geese Descending on the Sandy Beach,’ was performed at the CBC studio in Toronto. Enjoy!

‘Who Knew That Robots Were Funky?’ asks a recent New York Times article that describes Kraftwerk, a highly influential electronic music band from Germany, as the ‘godfather of American hip-hop and black electronic dance music.’ Journalist Mike Rubin compares Kraftwerk to other great music innovators, such as the Beatles and Rolling Stones. He says Kraftwerk first inspired producers in South Bronx, Detroit, and eventually around the world. Even today, for example, Kraftwerk’s electro-acoustic sound, which helped to shape works of David Bowie and Depeche Mode, can be heard in the music of Radiohead and Kanye West.

To learn more about the heritage of Kraftwerk and modern electronic music, check out Mike Rubin’s article here:

I’m going to do a Week of Thanks. 7 days of posts on things I’m thankful for, since I think Thanksgiving is the coolest.

First off, I’m thankful that Jon’s One Man Band would cover this Boston song in response to someone posting this crap.

And thanks to Jojo for sharing it.
