WM005: Jan Turkenburg - Splogman's sixth sense
released 12 december 2004
The pieces on ‘Splogman’s sixth sense’ are a combination of cut and
pasted samples and live instruments, just like on its predecessor ‘A
fifth of Splogman’ which was released on
Comfortstand.com.
1. Intrada: “Music is a universal language, but what are we saying
to each other?”
A musical dialogue between different musical cultures.
Samples used: Vietnam: anthology of Êdê music - De tweede
langspeelplaat van het Simplistisch Verbond - Anatoly Liadov:
Complete orchestral works and Russian Folksongs for Orchestra,
Op.58/ Krasnoyarsk Orchestra, Ivan Spiller ("basic" bongo sample:
from a thriftstore LP, forgotten which one...)
Instruments: recorder (blokfluit) - splogman’s voice
2. A walk through the land of 999 dances
Cut and paste piece based entirely on samples taken from the first
100 dances of
The land of 999
dances.
3. Glibbareeglue
Only live instruments are used here in a multi track recording.
They’re not played in a conventional way however and have been
digitally altered after recording.
Instruments: flute, small talking drum, home made tubular bells,
swannee whistle (roerfluit), duck-call whistles (two different ones)
and Splogman's voice.
4. Platte beurs
Composed out of samples of records that I bought at the big record
fair (=Platenbeurs) in Utrecht November 2004. ‘Platte beurs’ however
means ‘flat wallet’.
5. Remkes’ Mars
On september 14, 2004 the dutch minister of justice Remkes, held a
speech about acting more firmly against soccer-hooligans who chant
incorrect and insulting choruses. During a match hooligans chanted
that Rafael van der Vaart's (Ajax) wife was a whore.
Wim de Bie (a well known author, actor and satirist) then posted a
excuse-chorus "made by some of the hooligans who were sorry": "Van
der Vaart's got one hell of a hot woman." I included fragments of
the news broadcast and Wim de Bie's chorus in my mix. Wim
mentioned and linked it on his
Blog.
6. Tree of temptation
“There was a young woman of Rise
Who ate too many apples and died
The apples inside the lamented
fermented and made cider
inside her inside”
Thanks to “De Innsingers” and Rivka for their kind permission to use
their recordings again.
