Notes:

Andrew Cauthen has been making a lot of music for well over a decade. A single man with a keyboard, a computer, and the drive to translate the world around him into sound.

His interpretations take on many forms: techno to ambient, and numerous styles in-between, and a few styles that may be his own invention.

In this the first of three episodes of the CerebralMix, we spend and hour examining some early works of Andrew Cauthen as compiled on his “Early Ones” releases.

Closing Notes:

With ten hours of music in just the compilation of his early works, Andrew Cauthen distinguishes himself. Not because his work is groundbreaking or different: in fact he uses forms that are recognizable and popular, and yet he also reserves space to investigate forms that are different and unique to his perspective.

And, that’s where the value of his work presents itself. Andrew is an interpreter of the world around him, and it’s his unique perception of the world that comes out in his audio interpretations.

The ideas and thoughts he investigates are put on level ground. It doesn’t make a difference if it’s a small idea (“19th Street Coffee”) or some unique and revealing perspective (“Time Is A Slippery Slope”). All ideas are explored deftly from his perspective.

And, this brings us to the end of the exploration of Andrew Cauthen’s works for this week. I hope you will join me again for another exploration of the sounds between thoughts on The CerebralMix.

Notes:

The guitar is possibly one of the most unique instruments in music. It’s roots can be traced back approximately 3,300 years. Throughout history, there have been many names for instruments of similar construction (if not always similar in timbre and tone): oud, lute, cithara, and vihuela just to name a few.

The emergence of what could be seen as the modern acoustic (or classical) guitar occurred in about the 12th century in Europe. However, after the Baroque period, the guitar seems to have fallen out of favor until it reemerged in the 1800s.

The electric guitar dates from the 1930s. It’s first application was in the country swing bands of the period, allowing it to produce sound of equal volume to the rest of the band. Adoption of the electric guitar in jazz and rock assured that it was an instrument with a long road ahead of it.

This week, the first of a series of occasional shows, we present both acoustic and electric guitars in settings as diverse as progressive rock, ambient, jazz, death metal, blues, and more. So be prepared for just about anything in the world of the guitar, this week, on the CerebralMix.

Notes

Sunday is possibly the best day of the week: you aren’t expected to go anywhere, or do anything. You can sit back, chill with a book or newspaper, maybe do some cleaning or chores around the house. The pressures and expectations of the rest of the week are gone.

This weeks show is a mix of chillin’ and groovin’ tunes just right for a Sunday. From abstract ambient, to slow-techno, to funk-groove this set will give you the space and time to recharge your batteries to be ready for the rest of the week.

Sit back and enjoy the Sunday Chill and Groove Mix, this week on The CerebralMix.

Notes:

Last year, an artist who goes by the stage name Ergo Phizmiz released a work on the Headphonica Netlable to rival all releases: a single 14 hour work called “The Faust Cycle”. I attempted to listen to the whole piece one hour per day for two weeks, and write a review as I listened to each segment.

I managed to succeed in listening to the whole piece, but after ten entries on the website life intervened and I never did get back to finish writing up the entries. However, the piece was very good, somewhat confusing at points, but always kept the listener on his or her toes with new musical inventions, or narrative twists and turns that would have made Jorge Louis Borges proud.

Recently Headphonica released a new work: The Faust Re.Cycled. This is a series of 22 remixes based on the Faust Cycle. The moment I saw this release I had to have it: at least in this form it is possible for me to include some pieces of The Faust Cycle in the CerebralMix. (Aside: some podcasts have used excerpts from The Faust Cycle, and at least one streaming radio show has played the whole piece…however, I felt neither approach would be beneficial to this audience.)

The idea of including some of the remixes in the CerebralMix started me thinking: what else would I play? What else could match up to it? Well, I think I’ve come up with an entertaining theme based around the character of Faust… A theme that I will let “speak” (or play) for itself.

Notes:

My original “prototype” episode was thrown together fairly quickly, without a lot of thought given to the overall selection or sequencing of the pieces. However, there were quite a few good artists, and a lot of good music in the episode. I still feel that music deserves being shared.

This week we return to that episode with a twist: several pieces have been replaced: mostly with different tracks by the same artists, with one exception. And, the sequencing and mixing has been completely reworked.

So, sit back, listen, and have an “almost déjà vu all over again” experience.
