I almost fell of the chair the first time I heard this. This is a perfect opportunity for you to try out those speakers, that has been gathering dust, while waiting patiently for this very moment. Yes, yes, I know, it's unfortunately not the whole tune, and indeed, you have infact heard of that group before, and yes, you must get a copy of it, now! The planets are aligned, what are you waiting for? |

Geinoh Yamashirogumi are amazing. We all love their work on Akira. I do not lie. All hail Shoji Yamashiro! |

Didn't do much for me; I prefer different gamelan music, the fast polyrhythms and the oriental melodies. |

do you say it gam-e-lan, ga-me-lan, game-lan or ga-mel-an? |

Gah-meh-lan I guess. |

Hi Samsicle - things are O.K. I just moved from Aberdeen back to Huntly so I'm out of work at the moment. I'm seriously considering becoming a piano teacher, but I'll need permission from the council to do that from home - I can easily charge £20 per hour which is useful. Apart from that, got a Oxygen 49 MIDI keyboard which is fun, though it's kind of hard to play fast because of the lag :( How are you? |

it's kind of hard to play fast because of the lag" if your desperate for a couple of milliseconds use headphones while recording midi. it can help. |

I'm good thanks. I decided to have a go at this university lark and living with 21 tantrum throwing 18/19 year olds has turned out to be an enlightening experience. I now know who Mark Ronson is and why he's the 'saviour of music' and why what I listen to is crap because 'if it was good it'd be at the top of the charts'. Other than that things are VERY dull. I found out today I have to be back up at the other end of the country to sign a single piece of paper at 9am on Tuesday which means I can't go and see Autechre on Monday night and have just grudgingly given the ticket to a friend. How's the sprog? Still kicking and screaming I hope! Does the council require background checks and that kind of thing to allow you to teach piano? |

I adored the akira soundtrack and always wondered if there's other works by geinoh yamashirogumi that I could find... but I never did. |

Caitlin is great - very wilful but generally good natured. Her vocabulary and language usage are amazing! Also, she's addicted to The Simpsons, and can name almost all the characters. . . whether that's a good thing or a bad thing remains to be seen. Because I would technically be a home business and because it would make noise, the council'll have to okay it - all I can do is cross my fingers and hope they say yes. |

Here's a link (on the same site) to several of their works, if you're interested: I'd recommend them all. The "Ecophony Rinne"-CD is brilliant, as is "Osorezan". |

"Geinoh Yamashirogumi (The Yamashiro Art Group) are a collective of about 200 people working in cultural anthropology, ethology, molecular biology and other related fields." 200 people, says it all. |

Hi Paul, How odd that you should mention Huntly; I just recently sent a letter of inquiry about a possible teaching job at The Gordon Schools! Dave and I have been interested in becoming ex-pats in Scotland for a while now, and have been looking into what it takes to teach there. |

wow that's a weird coincidence! The scenery is nice here, the people haven't been too bad of late. I'll give you free piano lessons if they take ya ;) |

good link, thanx |

That'd be neat :) I shall certainly keep you updated... As for gamelan, I prefer the faster, more polyrhythmic styles as well. I fell in love with the style that is played in Lombok and throughout Nusa Tenggara Barat when I visited there in '95. |

Give the tune a listen (if you can find it). The slow jegog-part at the beginning is soon to be replaced by some mad gongs/-bells. The whole tune is about 10 minutes long. Pure delight. |
