music in the studio

Doug Gray on tue 25 sep 01


We have an old stereo in the ceramics lab here. My first one, purchased
at age 18 with a summers worth of lawn mowing money and fast food
restaurant paychecks. Still works after all these years of clay dust,
being left on all night (so many students couldn't locate the on/off
switch, so just turned the volume down). It has two cassette decks, one
that plays just a noticeable hair too fast, the other that plays just a
hair too slow. You can move a tape from one deck to the other to make
the music more energetic or to tone it down. Keep in mind most wouldn't
even notice the difference unless you switched the tapes back and
forth. I have on occasion used the speed difference to stimulate of
relax students as the need arises. A trick I learned from step aerobic
classes.

Then there is always the radio. In Alpine, TX, it seemed we could only
get in 2-3 stations, country or Tejano, not much choice. Now in
Florence, SC we have oldies rock, classic rock, opera, classical, R&B,
rap, country, alternative and more I'm sure but it still seems we don't
have much choice. Students are always selecting different stations it
seems. I should add that some of what gets played obviously doesn't
appeal to me or my sense of musicality, but I worked in a store in
Louisville, KY that played mostly show tunes. I learned at an early age
that I can tune most things out. After all, how many times a day does
one really need to hear South Pacific, Annie or Funny Girl. Lawrence
Welk would have been a welcomed change.

I have the same rules as most, radio off when I lecture, demo or
critique. Otherwise it is usually on. I let the students decide,
provided they can all agree on what to listen to. Lately we have been
listening to international music selections. We have our annual
international festival on campus this weekend so we are gearing up for
it. We've heard Irish / Celtic, Spanish Flamenco, Latin Guitar, French
Contemporary, Middle Eastern Electronic and Classical. More that I
can't recall at this time. Then we have other countries slotted for
next class, music from China, Japan, Brazil, Africa, etc. I've been
pleased that they have tolerated such an extreme musical range. Makes
me feel in some small way that we can tolerate and appreciate all the
worlds people. And that gives me hope these days.

Hi Doug,
I've done it all. Rolling Stones made me want to dance, Enya made me want to
cry, mountain music (banjo) made me want to slap my thigh, oldies made me
want to go back in time, country made me want to hug my dog, ....nothing
seemed to help with inspiration in CLAY....until I succumbed to Public
Broadcasting last week. I finally left the television, but in order to keep
up with crisis, I turned on the local PBS which is stationed in Bude,
Mississippi (and I don't even know where that is !) I found out that they
play beautiful instrumentals which do not interfere with my though process.
In fact, it was soothing and calming, and almost like playing Lawrence Welk
backwards. If there was news, I heard it..... AND, there are funny, clever
talk shows (which make repetitive throwing fly by). Is it my age ? OR am I
becoming my Mother ? I think not......that may be cause for another
rebellion !
Peace,
Merrie

Much of the time the radio is on KCSM, the only remaining all jazz music
station in the country. Not even Morning Edition or any other National
Public Radio (NPR) new program. Armstrong, Ella, Miles, Bird, Coltrane,
Chick, etc. And then sometimes I just turn it off and listen to the
mocking birds.

Hey Gang,
Well I guess judging from what the rest of you wrote I really am an odd ball.
Maybe it's too many years multi tasking in resturants or maybe I'm just weird (no spewing coffee on the cats Wayne) but silence in the studio is like plain white walls in a house both make me nuts !
I often leave the studio t.v. on for company & to yell at. When I listen to music the selection is all over the place. I'll put in five CD's in the player & jam ! I'll put in Parlement/ Funkadelic , Led Zepplin, AC/DC (my favorite) , Italian opera or pop, the Extrudinaires(oh those Cobalt blues!) & maybe some Benny Goodman , Cab Calloway or Dean Martin... "When the slip hits your eye like a big pizza pie THAT'S AMORE !" Let's not forget Anthrax, Poison or the band with my favorite name ... Disturbed. (big suprise eh?)
For some reason music that rocks no matter what era it was made seems to have the same effect on me that ritalin has on hyper active kids. It calms me down gets me in a creative mood. Are there any other rockers out there?
Logan
We will... we will.....RAKU !
Long live Freddie !!!

Logan - I'm gonna come work with you! I have gone through phases where I
like to yell at the TV, the trashy Maury Povich in particular. I thought I
was the only one (well, me and Lynn...)

and I'm loving your choice of music.

please be my friend.

What, no one's mentioned trance? Hmmm. It's been my favorite music these
last several months. I do love the older rock (everything from Hendrix, Guns
N' Roses, Clapton, AC/DC, Van Halen, Supertramp, Aerosmith, Bad Company,
Joplin, Joe Cocker, and ZZ Top, to Heart, Roberta Flack, The Association,
Stevie Nicks and Don Henley, Fleetwood Mac, etc.). Remember Gloria by the
Doors? I forgot I had an uncensored version on a CD medley one night at the
university studio where a bunch of us were working (and rockin') late into
the night and this tune caused one of the older gals to flee into the glaze
room and slam the door (oops).

Anyway, trance (especially the Chill-out subclass), not often heard here in
Texas, keeps me perking along and seems to offer a pleasant change of pace
to my old music favorites. Loreena McKennitt has some nice music I've been
sampling lately, too. I download most music for casual listening with
Audacity (see downloads.com) directly from YouTube, collect 80 minutes worth
of appealing tunes, then burn a CD with MadDog, an add-on hardware program
for the computer. It's a nice way to increase one's musical library for
free.

Silence is nice many times, too:>)

I can relate to Logan's comment...
Music is amongst my earliest memories.
My grandfather played the concertina and sang Russian folk and Yiddish
songs
his sister sang for the Tsar.
My mother sang & played the accordion & baby grand piano. My
grandmother sang me lullabies.
My cousins are very accomplished musicians.
My sister is an accomplished musician as is my husband when he's not
off doing his day job.
I also have very early memories of laying under my mother's baby grand
piano while she played for hours.
Though my attempts to play were dismal music is an integral part of my
life.
Music helps me focus, I feel like something is missing when I work
without it.
I also may be very weird in that when doing repetitive, production
work or working on complicated pieces
I can listen to a favored piece of music over and over and am able to
stay in the zone until I am done.
Last time I did that it was 4am when I was finished and noticed the
time.
Time had disappeared into a focused effort guided by a pleasant
musical background.
That was at least a 20 hour day. I was not exhausted and though I had
been pushed to the limits
physically and emotionally for weeks I felt great and the firing was
near perfect!
So it appears each of us have individual optimum creative and work
settings.
I do not find that surprising at all!

I take my trance in limited doses, although I have been known to be way
affectionate toward Brazilian Chill and British house circa mid-90s. I am
also quite enamored with anything British - invasion, glam, metal, punk,
brit pop.

as for silence, anyone who knows me is aware I have a really hard time with
it - except when I knit. Needless to say, I also do a lot of talk radio in
the studio. A LOT.

LOVE trance, Marian, thanks for mentioning it. After discovering The
Supreme Beings of Leisure six or seven years ago now I've really
enjoyed sampling and downloading others in that genre or related to it
- Bitter: Sweet, De/Vision, Faithless....tasty. And to REALLY get
motivated in the studio, there's always Mika and the Scissor Sisters
(reincarnations of Queen and the Bee Gees - boy it's great to be old
enough that the music I loved as a teenage is the source for new hip
groups!!!).

I'm an old lady. I go back to Harry James, Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw and Beg=
in the Beguine, Jo Stafford singing Shrimp Boats..... What is considered "p=

Matter of fact, when Mr Freeman listed his favorites I thought he must be i=
nto some leg-pulling: I know some of the names of present day pop music gro=
ups but I never heard of any on his list!

I do love and enjoy classical music. I don't listen to NPR talk for the sam=
e reasons Ed Koch (former mayor of NYC) won't give them any money but they =
do have a very fine Sunday afternoon music program which I turn on occasion=
ally. However, I find myself distracted from the clay by the music and the =
host's commentary.

I'm pretty good at multi-tasking but not when it comes to clay. Even my tho=
ughts get in the way sometimes; I have to turn them off. Clay requires my u=
ndivided attention.

Eleanor...

Not pulling your leg at all; those are all real bands! They are not,
however, "pop" music. My musical tastes, much like my heretical ideas,
tend to be far from popular! I seem to be allergic to pop music, and break
out in hives when I hear anything Autotuned. The Black Eyed Peas send me
into convulsions!

I love big band music. My dad was a big fan (along with classical), so I
grew up on it. I used to listen to a syndicated radio program called Big
Band Jump on my local radio station every Saturday and Sunday morning, but
it is no longer broadcast where I live. Highly recommended, if it is
available where you live. One of my gym buddies, just shy of 80 years old
and going strong, played sax in a big professional dance band when he was
still in high school.

The Joe Jackson album I spoke of is mostly remakes of Louis Jordan songs
from the 1930s era. The Brian Setzer Orchestra albums contain many
rockabilly versions of classic big band songs, including an absolutely
amazing version of Pennsylvania 6-5000. You may like the Joe Jackson
album, if you were a fan of Louis Jordan, as his versions are fairly
faithful to the originals. You will not like Brian Setzer. If you want to
stick a toe into the water, you may enjoy Rod Stewart's "Great American
Songbook" albums. He was putting them out annually for a while, maybe
still is. They are nothing but American jazz and big band standards,
rendered in a faithful and very soulful manner. If you send me your
mailing address off list, I would be happy to drop a copy of his "It Had to
be You" CD into the mail for you.

And yes, sometimes silence is best. It is what I am listening to right
now, though I must admit that I left Bakra Bata blaring in the studio when
I came in just now. They are a Caribbean steel pan band, I believe out of
Seattle. Here is their rendition of my favorite song in the world,
Pachelbel's Canon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Du9YDU7Way_I

Enjoy your day.
