6/8/11 Ministry of silly noises?

[Bryn]

Listened to snatches in the car, and found it hard to take, mainly because it just seemed so dated. Scratching was good fun back in the 80s when it was relatively new. If I want to hear it now, I'd rather go back to Grandmaster Flash and crew. Anyway, will give this another go on the i-player to see if I can get more out of it, like cavatina.

I too heard it in the car, and thought it decidedly MOTR.

Anyone able to give some idea (or even a lot of idea) of the techniques of virtuoso turntable playing?

in the old place quite a few of us helped you to buy and set up a turntable set up - or at least we gave you some advice about possibilities.

Please do NOT practice the techniques for the Prokofiev concerto on that set up. If you MUST, then buy an old turntable from a car boot sale, and use old LPs (unwanted!) from charity shops!

Indeed you did! And I wouldn't dream of putting it to such a use. I'm still astonished that the nondescript piece of rubber band stretched round the turntable regulates the speed so efficiently.

If Norrington had conducted, would he have asked the DJ to play the turntables without vibrato?

Or, as Miles Davis's trumpet teacher advised him: "Don't use vibrato. You got plenty time to shake when you get old"

Surely you have to start from scratch! (I've already got my coat)
