#Tabla for children

[aru-loves-krishnaxarjuna]

Yk, like sometimes, the greatest fault parents do? Think that "yes only i can know the best for my child." While abusing and neglecting and overwhelming them INSTEAD.

Like today was my PTM, and ibgot low marks because of favoritism of teachers with class toppers and because of my stress.

My parents have the greatest hand in my stressed depressed self. They have put me through SOO MANY classes, just because their frnds were like " oH mY cHiLd DoEs ThEsE tHiNgS! hE's ReAlLy TaLeNtEd!" Like to match with the other kids, my parents put me through hell!

I am indian. So we have many types of dances. And all these dances are taught at my dance school. So i do many things at once:

Dances [yes cuz there are too many]

Tabla

Harmonium [vocal and many types of songs like classical and rabindra sangeet]

Cricket

Table tennis 🏓

Swimming

Drawing and art

Tuition: Maths and Science

Tuition: Language and Ssc

And then comes school! There aremany programs of school. And i had went up to even NATIONAL level of AFS EAC SPORTS CHAMPIONSHIP and came 4th in TT 🏓 and my parents are still NOT satisfied.

It's overwhelming me a LOT. And my parents are like:

"But we couldn't do it before so we are making you do them!"

"But it's good for you!"

"Shut up with you stress-talks! There is nothing called stress!"

"How can you be so stressed? You are so young."

"You have no problem with yourself you don't need therapy"

LIKE I NEED THERAPY I HAVE ATTEMPTED SUICIDE FOR THIS 7 TIMES AT GRADE 8!! I DEVELOPED DEPRESSION AND MENTAL ILLNESS AT A YOUNG AGE OF 9! I HAD CUT MY ARMS AT THE AGE OF 11 AND 12, JUST FOR THESE.

AND PARENTS EVEN BEAT AND SCOLD AND NEGLECT THEIR CHILDREN WHEN THEY DON'T GO THE WAY THEY WANT TO!

And then comes school. Fake frnds. Education stress. Pressure. Feels like hell and jail. Grades. And so many other things!

TO HELL WITH THESE!

Milford Graves, Arthur Doyle, Hugh Glover — Children of the Forest (Black Editions)

Children of the Forest by Milford Graves, Arthur Doyle, Hugh Glover

Drummer Milford Graves rarely recorded during his lifetime, and, until recently, most of his releases were long out of print. Corbett vs. Dempsey began to rectify that with key reissues of Bäbi, his trio with reed players Arthur Doyle and Hugh Glover, and The Complete Yale Concert 1966, his duos with Don Pullen. TUM records stepped in with Wadada Leo Smith’s Sacred Ceremonies, a 3 CD set including an incendiary duo with Graves along with a trio with Graves and bassist Bill Laswell. Since his death in February, 2021 Black Editions Archive has stepped up the game, digging in to Graves’ vaults, first with an issue of a trio set by Peter Brötzmann, Milford Graves, William Parker, and now, with Children of the Forest, a set of recordings captured in Graves’ Queens workshop with Doyle and Glover in the months leading up to the Bäbi session. The two-LP set documents a January 1976 duo session with Graves along with Glover on tenor saxophone, a brief drum solo from February of that year and a March trio session with Graves, Glover on klaxon, percussion and vaccine (a Haitian one-note trumpet) and Doyle on tenor saxophone and flute. The torrid rawness of these recordings looks toward the torrential barrage of Bäbi but brings out a more ritualistic edge to the playing.

Graves had spent his early years studying African drumming, tablas and playing timbales in Latin jazz bands and that sense of time, extended from African and Caribbean ceremonial music and ritual imbue these sessions. Hugh Glover talks about this and the time he spent with Graves, whom he refers to as Prof, in the extensive interview included with the LP set conducted by Jake Meginsky. “We were listening to the music of the peoples of the interior forest of the Congo… First, the Prof’s mood sets up a tribal-like atmosphere. It’s Congo-like — possession states. The rhythms, I think they immediately stimulated the need to dance… The next thing one must know and be aware of is that Milford Graves, he is not a time-keeping drummer like most jazz drummers. Prof represents the epitome of traditional hand drumming. I’m talking about ceremonial music and ritualistic sounds most familiar with divination.” 

Hugh Glover only recorded a few times so the January duo session with him and Graves is a particular find. The first of the four improvisations starts out with the percussionist’s churning thunder, leading to the entry of the tenor player’s hoarse, braying cries. The two had known each other for a decade at that point and Glover had been part of a European tour of Graves’ quartet along with Joe Rigby and Arthur Williams. That symbiosis is immediately evident. There’s a fluid sense of polyphony and elastic polyrhythms at play as the two bound along with ebullient intensity. The music is charged with open, spontaneous interchange and while the intensity level is high, they never overpower each other. Graves’ percussion work is revelatory here, spilling across his kit with a limber, propulsive dynamism. One can hear the legacy of African and Latin American rhythms exploded out with the drummer’s lithe control of tuned skin and slashing cymbals, with masterful control of dynamics and timbre. The inclusion of a short, 2-minute recording from the session reveals their careful attention to detail as the two sound-check the room and their balance and then charge into a compact give-and-take. Their concluding 7-minute improvisation is a particular highlight as they ebb and flow with synchronous fervor. 

The inclusion of a three-minute drum solo, recorded in February, is a brilliant addition to the set, particularly since Graves didn’t release any solo recordings until his two discs on Tzadik that came out in the late 1990s. On this 1976 recording, Graves distills his unified, multi-limbed attack into a roiling tempest of energy. Each thundering salvo, each cymbal crash, each resounding wallop of the bass drum is meted out with focus and intention. Glover remarks that listening to the solo recording he was struck by “the melody, and the melody of the tones that he gets, the way he rocks from one melody pitch to another. It has always been a mystery to me how Cuban drummers in Bata were able to modulate the rhythm and the meter. Well, it takes more than one player to do it Cuban style. Prof shows you can do it as one player.” 

The three March improvisations with Graves, Glover, and Arthur Doyle provide a notable link in the trajectory toward the session recorded a few weeks later that would be released as Bäbi. Glover reminisces about the March session here, noting “When we played, though, Doyle and I, we weren’t thinking of BÄBI [a name Graves used for his conceptual approach to improvisation]. We were thinking of… well I know I was thing of, and I’m pretty sure he was thinking, how do we keep up with Prof!” While that may have been going through their minds, that uncertainty never reveals itself in their playing. Graves begins the 12-minute improvisation that opens the set with tuned cascades of rim shots and toms and the two quickly join in, with Doyle’s raspy tenor crying out against the shifting percussion. The modulating rhythms and meters of Graves’ solo are the foundation of the buzzing whorls that develop in three-way, spontaneous orchestration which never flags for a moment. The shorter second piece kicks off with an extended section of chattering drums, making way for the two partners to interject barking, ecstatic exclamations that mount with intensity as Graves hurtles in with clanging cowbell. The final piece is the most abstracted, with Doyle’s high-pitched flute skirling against the chafed yawp of Glover’s klaxon and Graves’ coursing flow. Here, improvisation and ritual are melded together with pelting focus. 

Glover concludes his interview reminiscing  that “It was like Prof was saying, there is no ensemble, there is no musical configuration that I can’t play with as long as I’m allowed to play what I want to play. In other words, his confidence factor was like, I know I have the essence of where any group wants to go. If they allow me to do my thing, I’ll take them there.” The sessions released on Children of the Forest are a fitting testament to that belief and provide a welcome addition to the documentation of the lineage of Graves’ musical legacy. Here's to hoping that Black Editions continues to mine the Prof’s archives.

294: Nashenas // Life is a Heavy Burden

Life is a Heavy Burden Nashenas 2022, Strut (Bandcamp)

Nashenas is one of Afghanistan’s most beloved twentieth century singers. Born in Kandahar in 1935, he was raised in Karachi, British India (now Pakistan) before his family returned to Afghanistan during his adolescence. By his early 20s he had become a popular vocalist, with a weekly national radio slot singing traditional poetry, adaptations of popular Bollywood songs, and (with increasing frequency) his own compositions in Dari and Pashto.

Most of his work is in the ghazal tradition, a form of Arabo-Persian poetic ode (classically a simultaneous address to an absent lover and to God) that has remained popular in the East for nearly 1,500 years. The songs have a meditative consistency of rhythm, his vocals carrying the melody as he accompanies himself with drones on the harmonium while a tabla player supplies percussion, verses broken by instrumental refrains that answer the vocal melody. Nashenas has a panged yet resigned style suitable to the form, never leaning into cheap emotional theatrics. He spools out his words patiently, great feeling leavened by enlightened reservation. I picture him with his eyes closed, sitting cross-legged as he hums and croons the words that billow from the incense burning within him till the room has filled with it. Despite the focus on his voice though, this is quite dynamic music: the drumming on songs like “Life is a Heavy Burden” provides a raw, intense counterpoint to Nashenas’s steady vocal, while the blissful harmonium drone of “I Am Happy Alone” finds a common note with the primary colours of music made by children, outsider folkies, and the untrained.

Physical media wasn’t common in Afghanistan when Nashenas was establishing himself, and radio broadcasts were the primary outlet for performers. What recordings he did make were largely for radio archives, and many of these were apparently destroyed in the wars that have ravaged the region for decades. As a result, little of Nashenas’s prime is well-documented, and prior to this compilation virtually none of what does exist had been released in the West. Life is a Heavy Burden: The Songs and Poetry of Nashenas collects highlights from a brief run of Iranian 45 pressings of Radio Afghanistan recordings from the late ‘50s. The liners elaborate:

Although hard to fully confirm, it appeared these records were part of an arrangement between someone in Radio Afghanistan and Royal, one of the major labels in Iran. …Recordings were presumably supplied to the pressing plant in Tehran to be manufactured and then sold to the Afghan diaspora in the country, or exported back to Afghanistan. It was ultimately unsuccessful, with a few singles released by Nashenas, Zaland, his wife Sara, and others such as Ustad Mahwash, Ghulam Dastagir Shaida, and Ahmad Wali. Whoever arranged it apparently did not inform the artists themselves!

You’d never know how screamingly rare these pieces are, or that they were not sourced from masters, from the job Strut Records has done with Life is a Heavy Burden. The fidelity is brilliant, clearly of another epoch in terms of technology but unmarred by the dust and rough handling endured by near-70-year-old second-hand discs. I’d recommend this one to anyone with an interest in mid-century music from the Middle East and South Asia, or its influence on Western pop and experimental music from the ‘60s onward.

[sofipitch]

Can I say how much I hated HATED the freaking “lEStAt oNlY kILleD eViLOeRs” retconning bullshit AR pulled in TVL??? I get that there has to be some retconning to make it work and some of it is well done but that in particular is ridiculous and I will never accept it as canon. I really enjoyed TVL until the paragraph where Lestat is quickly going thru the events in the first book and shits on Louis’ whole account of events it is so condescending. “I can’t blame him for misunderstanding me I guess and I forgive his mistakes and the outright lies he told about me cuz I love him. How could he know I only ever killed bad people tehe he was a mess it’s really not his fault” (still overall like the book)… I know it’s the Louis girl in me and Louis isn’t perfect by any means but nah what we aren’t gonna do is invalidate everything he said and every experience he had just because you became obsessed with Lestat and started hating Louis.

I agree 100% and I am also a Louis truther. Usually what Louis lies about in IWTV is his feelings, as well as simply leaving certain scenes that might be too personal out (only part of what Lestat said that I believe, they were happy and it was unfair of Louis to hand wave that time). I tend to believe what he says goes in terms of what happened, so I believe that if Lestat actually stuck to the principle of "eating the evildoer" he would have told Louis. Like Louis struggles with eating humans and Lestat is so visibly concerned and upset there's no way that if that's what he did he wouldn't tell and give that option to Louis. Like even if Louis can't read minds why couldn't Lestat pick out the evildoers and bring it to him?

Also there are just discrepancies in Lestat saying he only ate evildoers, the children Claudia brings Lestat full of laudanum are CHILDREN, I'm sorry I don't believe children/babies are a tabla rusa but I also don't believe they are capable of being evil. And there is really no other way for that scene to make sense, an adult passed out from drinking maybe but it just isn't the same in terms of "she brought him a child to feed on as revenge bc of what he did to her in making her". Lestat also is described as killing TONS of slaves when they burn down the plantation, simply bc they found out that Louis and Lestat are, you know, blood sucking murderers

I also just hate the whole evildoer thing in the first place. Lestat actually comes up with the idea on his own before he meets Marius but decides a lot of ppl might do evil or commit crime do to circumstance, namely poverty. Instead of deciding to eat the rich Lestat just decides evil is hard to define and abandons the idea. But when Marius tells him to do just what he rejected he goes "Aye aye boss 🫡" It was a dumb way for AR to write her way out of that philosophical quandary

AR also uses the whole evildoer thing to promote her own weird views, namely super anti drug (AR was DARE paying you off for this?) campaign, which can get a little, well racist. QOTD specifically mentions Armand going to Latin America to find drug dealers and steal their money, which it's not like drug lords aren't an issue but how is it that they came to mind first and not the American elite rich who own companies like Walmart? I also don't believe in the death penalty and yes these are serial killer books but AR really tries to sell you the idea that they are good and moral for killing "bad" ppl, and in PL mention having a dungeon stocked full of prisoners as food 💀 It's fun as a horror concept but I REALLY get the feeling through reading that AR thinks this is good and not extremely fucked up for these wealthy pharmaceutical company owning vampire (I'm describing one guy but they all get their wealth inhumanely, landlording mostly, which AR seems to think is an honest living) to just get to decide what crimes are deserving of death

Starts With P, Part 2

Gary Lewis and the Playboys - (You Don't Have to) Paint Me a Picture / Looking for the Stars

The A-Side is a jaunty little tune that serves the pop function of having catchy words the listener can remember easily, but doesn't do much more than that. The B-Side is mostly a comedy sketch featuring celebrity vocal impressions, coming out swinging with a John Wayne right off the bat. I never knew this before, but Gary Lewis is actually the son of Jerry Lewis, and I think that might explain this. Both sides are in pretty good shape.

Popeye - A Whale of a Tale (Beginning) / A Whale of a Tale (Conclusion)

Well, I wasn't expecting that. This is a children's book on record, featuring the voices of characters like Popeye, Olive Oyl, and their associates on an adventure involving none other than Moby Dick Mopey Nick? The copyright date is 1973, when my mom was in high school, so I'm not exactly sure how this disc came to be in her collection. One of those curiosities of life. I found it on youtube, if you're interested.

The Poppy Family featuring Susan Jacks - That's Where I Went Wrong / Shadows on My Wall

There is some interesting stuff going on in the refrain of this psychedelic torch track, I kind of dig it. But my jam is the B-Side, which foregrounds the tabla drum for a truly spooky, haunting sound. Should have been the A-Side, I say.

Elvis Presley - Kentucky Rain / My Little Friend

A classic from the King's country era, both sides are a little marred by the ravages of time. "My Little Friend" is no hit (at least I've never heard of it being one), but it's a pleasant tune, though it skips a little. "Kentucky Rain" is an epic, and really shows off the power of Presley's voice.

Elvis Presley - I Can't Help Falling in Love With You / Rock-A-Hula Baby

This song, on the other hand, demonstrates the exceptional lightness and grace with which Elvis could sing. It's a shame the disc is so crackly, because it's an exceptional song, truly deserving of its place in the King's legend. The B-Side is *squints* "Rock-A-Hula-Baby." well, the King sure had quite the varied career.

Elvis Presley - Suspicious Minds / You'll Think of Me

A little faint and distant-sounding, unfortunately. I've certainly heard "Suspicious Minds" sound more vital than this. Still a good listen though. I kind of forgot that it had that false fade-out, you got me good Elvis! Sure enough, the B-Side sounds a lot more present and the room, with a fuller sound. And it's not a bad song, either! "You'll Think of Me" isn't an Elvis classic necessarily, but he sings it well.

Elvis Presley - Burning Love / It's a Matter of Time

Now this disc is, comparatively, in excellent condition. Listen to those drums! "Burning Love" is a great example of latter-day Elvis in rock form, with a good portion of the energy of his earliest days. The B-Side is a little more sedate. Well, a lot more sedate. There are a lot of sides to this guy, you know? One side just likes to sing pretty little tunes with low stakes.

Billy Preston with Syreeta - With You I'm Born Again / All I Wanted Was You

Not the sound one typically expects from Motown, or from Billy Preston, for that matter. Lots of strings, and it builds in ecstatic fashion to what might be described as a big feathery climax. The side minus Syreeta, on the other hand, is just straight disco-funk. Put that on when the party is getting crazy and some one is putting a lampshade on their head.

Musical Theme

The name of the playlist is "Echoes of Nature." The theme revolves around nature and various music genres. The beauty and mystery associated with nature have always acted as an endless fountain of musical inspiration, featuring an array of sensational feelings (Pichl et al., 2016). These pieces portray different aspects of nature, including the whispering breeze among the treetops and the forceful thump of crashing waves, giving the listener an amazing experience.

The Echoes of Nature Playlist has six songs, which include; Vivaldi - "Spring" from The Four Seasons (Classical/Traditional), Pink Floyd - "Echoes" (Rock), Miles Davis - "In a Silent Way" (Jazz/Electronic), Lupe Fiasco - "Daydreamin'" (Hip Hop), John Denver - "Country Roads" (Country/Folk) and Ravi Shankar - "Raga Jog" (Traditional). 

In Vivaldi's "Spring" from The Four Seasons, the classical masterpiece envelops listeners in the essence of blooming life and vitality. The brisk tempo, vibrant melodies, and consonant harmonies joyously announce the arrival of spring. The strings dance playfully, perfectly mirroring the lively atmosphere of nature waking up from its winter slumber. 

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-dYNttdgl0

Pink Floyd's "Echoes" is a surreal sonic journey that immerses its audience in an intricate tapestry of sound. Incorporating atmospheric elements reminiscent of ocean waves and seagulls, the music paints an immersive sonic landscape. Just like the rising and falling motion of tides, this process is similar to the accumulation of tension before a release of tension.

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53N99Nim6WE

The improvisational jazz of “In Silent Way” by Miles Davis includes electronic sounds that combine into deep stillness and peacefulness. The slow pace, gentle trumpet harmonies, and electronic sounds summon an unobtrusive mood as though that of a quiet, even lake at twilight. The listener is invited into the contemplation of nature’s tranquilitythrough this composition and to be engulfed in an atmosphere of calm.

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHesqaMhh34]

However, Lupe Fiasco’s “Daydreamin’” is full of dreamy melodic sounds alongside self-evaluative lyrics that compel people to reflect on the world they live in. It is also childish as it uses playful samples of little children giggling, keeping the recordings grounded in terms of innocence and amazement. The cheerful sounds contrasted with reflective lyrics also depict the beauty and rich, imaginative nature of childhood.

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XOAStfv-v0

The song “country roads” captures the essence and beauty of the Appalachian region. The fast rhythm and playful tunes carry one back to that idyll lost in their innocence when one left village life. Denver’s lyrics evoke pictures of curved highways, soaring mountains, and braided waterways that entice people to go back to natural elements.

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vrEljMfXYo

“Raga Jog” is one of the Indian classical compositions, and it artfully depicts the rainy monsoon season in Ravi Shankar. Delicate sitar lines and bold tabla beat mirror the subtlety of raindrop patterns and tempest noise. The improvised nature of this piece makes it possible for the musicians to imitate the erratic characteristics of various weather patterns, yielding an ever-changing sound landscape that evokes the naturalness of life.

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lcB48oQq6s

In conclusion, the “Echoes of Nature” playlist addresses how multiple composers from different music genres draw their motivational and influence basis from nature. This playlist contains classical operas to avant-garde rock and jazz experiments. Each song is an insightful perspective into nature’s complex beauty. Utilizing carefully sculpted melodies, tempos, and soundscapes, the artists successfully captured the very soul of nature. The work invites their listeners into an ecstatic communion with the wonders of nature, making a perfect link between music and the environment.

268: Laxmikant-Pyarelal // Dosti

Dosti Laxmikant-Pyarelal 1964, Angel

Composing partners Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar and Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma worked together for 35 years and, per Hindustan Times,composed about 2,900 songs for 750 different films during that span—a level of productivity basically unfathomable outside of the specific context of the insanely prolific Bollywood studio system. 1966’s Dosti soundtrack was their artistic and commercial breakthrough, and as such it occupies a significant place in Indian music history. I’ve never seen the film, though its cover features two crying boys hugging so it may be up my alley. The Wikipedia synopsis makes it sound like a melodrama without parallel (aside from several hundred others made by Bollywood that same year). The movie opens with a boy’s father dying in an industrial catastrophe, his mother fainting and falling down the stairs (to her death), and then the boy getting disabled in an accident of his own. He then makes friends with a homeless blind boy, and the two chums are then rigorously wedgied by life itself for the next three hours until a happy ending imposes itself.

Working with lyricist Majrooh Sultanpuri (a notable leftist poet), Laxmikant-Pyarelal’s songs are strongly credited with Dosti’s enduring success, and while I’m neither an expert in their oeuvre nor Bollywood music as a whole, I can tell you this is beautiful music any fan of adventurous vintage pop should adore. The songs all strike my ear as happy, but with a tear welling in their eyes. It’s more subtle stuff than I associate with contemporary Bollywood: “Gudiya Kab Tak Na Hasogy” twinkles and minces to a gentle dance rhythm, leaving room for soulful flute and harmonium (or accordion?) solos and the melancholy lilt of a mandolin. Both members of the duo had a strong education in Western and Indian classical music, and these sentimental songs find the sweet spot between the traditions, with vigorous tabla rhythms and droning strings meeting melodies that evoke spaghetti western scores (“Janewalo Zara”) or practically quote “Ode to Joy” (“Rahi Manwa”).

It was the convention at the time for a reliable cadre of vocalists to dub over the singing voices of the lead actors, and Laxmikant-Pyarelal established long-standing relationships with their favourites. Dosti features two of their standbys, with Mohammed Rafi handling five of the six songs on the 10” soundtrack I own, and Lata Mangeshkar taking the other. Both absolute legends on the subcontinent, while Rafi and Mangeshkar were each well into adulthood by the time they recorded these songs they give such naively haloed performances that if you can squint (your ears?) just a little it’s easy to imagine they might have originated from the lips of children.

The scope of my expertise in this area is extremely limited, but if it’s not clear, Dosti gets my highest recommendation. If you should come across a ‘60s record with the Laxmikant-Pyarelal imprimatur at your local used shop, give it a shot.
