snocap

Ron Anderson rare music archives

I wasted my time uploading music to the soncap player....This company is completely incompetent! I would recommend not to have anything to do with them. I have removed all my music from soncap, and I'm going to stop my account with them.

Ron Anderson/David Chiesa Project - This recording was made in April of 2006, during an East Coast tour of the USA with French double bassist David Chiesa. The music is an improvised acoustic duet, just guitar and double bass, no over dubs, electronics or effects are use. All the sounds are made with just the use of our instruments and fingers. A continuous performance of 42 plus minutes, which I cut into 4 sections to fit the format of the snocap player, if you buy all four tracks; you'll get the complete recording for 6 dollars. Expect passages of dark beauty, droning rhythms that sound like looped samples, overtones that sound electronic and a powerful music experience.
Track 1 Time - 11:14
Track 2 Time - 9:15
Track 3 Time - 12:11
Track 4 Time - 9:48

Oud and Lap Slide Guitar - I bought my oud in Istanbul Turkey. I have done some recording with it and have performed a number of solo concerts here in New York. Playing the oud has afforded me a different approach and many new ideas to my guitar playing. This track was recorded sometime in 2004. Time - 1:11

Traffic - recorded in 2004 around the same time as Oud and Lap Slide Guitar. Reminds me of Brian Eno's - Another Green World period. Time - 1:06

PAK Remix - is music made from the first PAK CD in 2002. It was released in 2002 on a limited edition CDR of 100% Percent Human Hair. This track has many parts and sections, twists and turns. One of the problems with the snocap player is that you can only audition a very short part of the track. Thirty seconds does not give you any idea of what is going to happen with PAK Remix, it's a wild ride and a very different take on the music of PAK. Time - 7:00

Jazz Concrète - was made around the same time I was working on Music For Piano, Percussion and Tape. Time - 4:52

Musique Concrète - was composed as part of a composition - Music For Piano, Percussion and Tape. The premier performance was on March 28, 2003 at the Brecht Forum, New York City. Anthony Coleman - piano, Ken Yamazaki - percussion, Ron Anderson - live mixing of 8-track analog tape. Made possible in part by a grant from Meet The Composer. Musique Concrète reused some sounds found on my 1995 solo CD - PAK Small Are Half Inch.
Time - 4:01

Mr. Mystery - Another short track where I was experimenting with the oud in a non-traditional context. Recorded in 2004. Time - 1:11
