Inspired by fine examples from The Rambler, H.C. Earwicker or Weareie, here is my first mix ever: Continuumix #1. Genres vary from lightly experimental to vintage electronics, from roaring percussion mayhem to hippie dope song, from electronica to instrumental improvisation. I hope the knitting together and juxtaposition of fragmentary musical excerpts will create an inspiring continuum. I felt like including some of my beloved russian poets Olga Sedakova and Velimir Khlebnikov, while other russians appear as well here and there like a doted line. Also included are readers of this blog, namely artists & composers Rainier Lericolais and Joseph Nechvatal. It was an honour and a pleasure to finally meet the creator of the Tellus cassettes in 2008, hence the Sinatra interlude, since it was indeed a very good year for this blog and for myself personally and this mix is obviously meant as a celebration of one year of Continuo. The download file comes with extensive release notes including references and web links. Hope you enjoy the music.
happy 1st birthday continuo, you jolly good fellow!– and what a lovely way to celebrate! thank you!
Hey,
a mix from Continuo, what a surprise! And a good one, too. I like it. Interesting juxtapositioning & juxtaposures. Well-placed dramatic arches and turning points make sure the listener’s ears stay open. And the percussion excerpt from “The Nose” is amazing.
Some nice discoveries for me, too, like Christine Groult. I’ll try’n’get her CD.
Thanks. More, please.
Excellent, thank you.
Thank you guys for your appreciation.
continuo
it may be the pain killers i am on — but i am loving YELLOW
Always enjoy your postings but this mixtape is far out (as we used to say, many years ago…)!
Thank you both. I dig the ‘far out’ tag, Mark, even if out of date.
It’s great! Continuo, do you read Sedakova and Khlebnikov in russian?
I don’t read russian unfortunately, though I took some russian lessons at some point. All I can do is read the track titles on an Akvarium LP! I read russians like Essenin, Kruchenykh and Elena Shwartz in french or english. I really love the russian language. I wanted to read Pushkin in russian when I was younger.
dear continuo, now that i’ve listened quiet a few times to your continuumix i can say this is a great one – many thanks and don’t hestitate to continuuuuu stuff like that.

Thank you very much, lord_direct.
I’m working on a mix #2, possibly for New Year’s Eve.
i am really eager to the next mix. dunno if you’d like to have it, but i like to offer you a little mix i did for a very small local radio station which was broadcasted around september 2006.
it is noisy, obscure, sometimes melodic, hope you’ll find there some listenable stuff.

all the best

Thanks for your mix. You have good taste. The music is a tad too minimal for my liking but still an enjoyable listening experience.
damn, i knew i gotta put more dialogues in :))
next time a better “mashup”
Gracias por el aporte!
