Favoriting Bryce: Playlist from August 11, 2017 Favoriting

I never miscue a record. I am punctual, well-prepared, and dislike clutter. Outgoing and helpful, I'm always appropriately dressed. I do not behave erratically and have excellent penmanship. My CD's never skip, and I am in good health. I like all the notes, in any order.

I am really being drawn into the textures, pacing, and tactility of Avram's music. Fabio played some selections yesterday on his show and these selections are further affirming the breath of her creativity and legacy. Thanks.

She was also instrumental in bringing together people from different music genres and backgrounds. Over years, who knows how much came out of that bridge-building? There were the obvious collaborations, but also invites of a noise musician to a contemporary music festival, or the reverse.

@Fred, also, another troll from waaaay back said essentially the same thing, complaining whaaa whaaa whaaa that when Bryce came on he stated playing something that sounded like marbles in a blender, LOL, the message board blew up ripping him a new one.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:39pm
fred:

@KenW: sure, but I bet some listeners did at least think about putting marbles in a blender and recording it. Though I guess most didn't have a blender, others didn't want to risk ruining it, and the rest might have already lost their marbles

If you like Avram's music, you may also be interested to know that she had made numerous scores of hers available on her website. Really a great way into experiencing her representation of sound, playing techniques, timing, and ensemble organization. http://www.spectralmusic.org/Anamariaavram/Scores.html

Sadly, I myself have pretty dark trolling impulses sometimes and struggle to stop them. If I fall prey to it, I try to *at least* make it funny (and clear that nobody should take me seriously). But hey, I didn't even make any Dead cracks late Sun. night but I was sorely tempted! What really stopped me was that I couldn't come up with anything better than "the band is so loose on this boot that I'm surprised it's a tape and not something that came off of a stinky homeless guy's foot!" which is lame. (Rest of that show was amazeballs tho.)
