Live performance and chat with Rasputina
 
With a fondness for all things Victorian, Rasputina has been making cello-heavy music for some 20+ years now. Melora Creager's singular vision drives Rasputina, which they describe as a "historically based women's cello rock band that includes men." In advance of a show a headlining at The Gramercy Theatre on Wednesday April 25th, Rasputina played live for WFMU.

saw Tiny Lights awhile back

Off to a beautiful start! That Tiny Lights vocal melody knocked my proverbial socks off!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:26pm
Irene Trudel:

Hi listener 126464 and DC! Just getting set up for our live set with Rasputina. Tiny Lights popped into my head because of Jane Scarpantoni's cello playing. Loved seeing them back in the Maxwell's days.

Bonjour. I love that French chanson. Even a neurotic would groove to it. (I posted this on Dez's fill in last soir: Hi all, see April 7 The Economist, p68. It sez "neurotics rate all music as bad", paraphrased. But I say they'd dig the music now. )

1816 had no summer? Stupid climate change. Nice to hear Rasputina- I last saw them when they opened for BandSebastian at town hall.

(Jane Scarpontoni pt'd out chris stamey's wife to me, last Thursday, at chris' book read/signing at McNally Jackson bks. She signed my copy.)

Just tuned in a half hour ago, hearing Rasputina play live is a lovely surprise!

I was obsessed with their first album when it came out (my favorite song was "Dig Ophelia") but I haven't followed them since then.

Tuned into this show thanks to Rasputina! The missing song from their playlist was "Momma was an Opium Smoker."

And I think the last one is called "That's No Lie."

Used to like Mr. Tree from NY R&R Ensemble.

Rasputina was great! Glad to hear them again.

Irene Trudel:

Thanks for filling in the holes in my memory, Scott! During a live set, if I don't write it down immediately it's forgotten. Hi also to you, Cliff, Mister Dobalina, Carmichael, katharsis, and Andrew. Glad you liked the Rasputina set!

Andrew:

Wikipedia has entries for the 3 Juliard students in NY R&R Ensemble.

In particular the entry for Michael Kamen is quite long and includes the paragraph:

Kamen became a highly sought-after arranger in the realms of pop and rock music. His contemporaries in this field included Academy Award winner Anne Dudley, Richard Niles, and Nick Ingman. His successes include his work with Pink Floyd, David Gilmour and Roger Waters[3] (he is one of the few people invited to work with both former Pink Floyd members, even after their acrimonious split), as well as Queen (orchestration on Who Wants To Live Forever), Eric Clapton (on Edge of Darkness), Roger Daltrey, Aerosmith (live orchestral version of Dream On for MTV), Tom Petty, Bon Jovi, David Bowie, Bryan Ferry, Eurythmics, Queensrÿche, Rush, Metallica (on the song "Nothing Else Matters" and their live album, S&M), Def Leppard, Herbie Hancock, Tim Curry, The Cranberries, Bryan Adams, Jim Croce, Coldplay, Sting, Guns N' Roses (on their performance of November Rain on the MTV Video Music Awards) and Kate Bush. For Bush, Kamen delivered an orchestral backing for "Moments of Pleasure" from The Red Shoes album, substantially building upon a simple piano theme Bush had composed. In this instance and many others, he conducted the orchestra personally for the recording. In 1984, two years after moving to London,[4] Kamen had similarly heightened the effect of a pop recording for the Eurythmics "Here Comes the Rain Again", that score relying as much on his compositional skills as his arranging talents.

Andrew:

Sorry. Think I should have edited that overlong paragraph down.
  11:21pm
katharsis:

Of all the kb songs you could have picked
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:21pm
Irene Trudel:

Wow, Andrew! I had no idea he had so many credits. Funny that I'm playing Kate Bush right now. Pure coincidence. I'm going to have to find Michael Kamen someday for an interview.
  11:22pm
katharsis:

This one most appropriate for me personally right now
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:25pm
Irene Trudel:

So glad, katharsis. Just picked at random because it fit the set.
  11:29pm
Andrew:

Alas, Michael Kamen is no longer with us. I knew you would like the Kate Bush connection. I'm also impressed by the list of the people he worked with and this doesn't count his 11 ballets and a distinguished film and television career in another giant Wikipedia paragraph.

Oh, that's too bad! Thanks thought for bringing him to our attention.

Thanks much for the music tonight Irene. I've really been enjoying all the Entourage Music and Theatre Ensemble being played around this spring. Each time their work comes on I am moved by its texture, patience, and pacing, sensing as well much motion and movement. A creative project I am happy to be learning more about.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:41pm
Irene Trudel:

Thanks Will! Entourage is a favorite of mine. I've been hoping to bring their guitarist, Wall Matthews back on the show to talk about the reissues and play a bit.

Hi Irene. Wow! That would be fascinating to hear more from Wall Matthews. I hope he does indeed get to make a visit to the show. He has such a sensitive touch on the instrument and a creative rhythmic sensibility. It would be of course wonderful to hear more about his practice, both past and current, as well as all the collaborative work Entourage did with dance, theater, and film over the years
