Ja, zo ziet dat er dan uit: een beetje lullig. Het demonenmasker dat geleverd wordt bij de lp Day Of The Demons van Charlemagne Palestine en Janek Schaefer is een leuk grapje van Desire Path Recordings maar de buren ermee angst aanjagen zit er niet in. Misschien moet dat dan maar met de muziek, al is dat op papier lastig met twee artiesten die hun sporen hebben verdiend in de minimalistische muziek. Charlemagne Palestine heeft inmiddels de pensioenleeftijd bereikt, doch stoppen zie ik hem nog niet snel doen. Al sinds [...]
LMYE's New Label of the Year hardly released a thing in 2011. Not much of a basis for recognition, you may think. But however minimal its output what did come out of Desire Path was exquisite - & if there's a better record in 2012 than its next release (which almost made it out this year anyway, so gets co-opted for these purposes - along with its debut release from late last year...) these ears will be very, very surprised (& thrilled, obviously)... A label " focused on creating distinct pathways " [...]
Zaterdag 22 oktober wordt er weer een nieuw hoogtepunt aan het festivalseizoen van 2011 toegevoegd: Graag Traag #2 . Dit bijzonder kunstzinnig en avontuurlijke feestje wordt samengesteld door Bart de Paepe van het Belgische cassettelabel Sloow Tapes en vindt plaats in Hasselt. We schakelen even een versnelling lager en duiken in de fascinerende line-up van psychedelica, acidfolk, drones, improvisatie en andere al dan niet minimale experimentele muziek. Het Graag Traag festival draait dit jaar om de veelzijdige artiest Angus MacLise , niet alleen de [...]
Charlemagne Palestine and Joachim Montessuis make a frightening pair. This is minimalism that will scare the hell out of you. The title Voxorgachitectronumputer is an unpronounceable mouthful. It also tells you everything you need to know about what's inside. Taken from a 2007 duet performance, this hour-long piece has deceptively few elements to it. Minimalist composer Charlemagne Palestine provides the organ and a few vocal contributions and Paris-based noise sculptor Joachim Montessuis gives you the dominant vocal performance and the coloring electronics. One chord, or perhaps a simple interval, sustains about a third of the...
Okay, so on top you've got a piano. It's a normal concert grand, the kind you play with your hands. Underneath that, you've got another piano. That's a concert grand too, but it's got oversized pedal keys, and you play that with your feet. And in the middle you've got Charlemagne Palestine. I mean, if that's not trouble then I don't know what it. This truly incredible piece of music is played on the Doppio Borgato piano. It is immense, awesome in every sense of the word. This is [...]
Charlemagne Palestine - Strumming Music (mp3) ...from Strumming Music (1974)
The Adverts liked to pretend that they had taken the DIY punk ethos too far. While most bands had heeded the advice that three chords were needed, they would make do with just the one. One Chord Wonders would have been more effective if they'd stuck to that idea, as by my reckoning it has at least six different chords in it. If you really want that level of simplicity you've got to look elsewhere. A good start would be Charlemagne Palestine's seminal expression of minimalism, Strumming Music , played on just [...]

Charlemagne Palestine - Strumming Music (mp3) ...from Strumming Music (1974)
As I'm sure you're well-aware by now, the point of Video Pop is to bring you the catchiest, most aurally pleasing music available, regardless of genre. With that in mind, I present to you two compositions that are typically regarded as works of the 20th Century Classical/Avant-Garde Minimalist movement. However, I want you to ignore any cultural notions of haughtiness or impenetrability you might associate with the avant-garde, because as you'll hear, this music is not difficult . It's really not that strange, and it's certainly pleasing to listen to. Sidenote: [...]
Cover art: Ryoji Ikeda "Dataplex" (Raster-Noton, 2005) The same thing happens every day. We wake up, eat breakfast, go to work or college, maybe have some fun afterwards and then go back to sleep again. It is a continuous cycle that is so familiar that we are even unaware of its existence. It provides us stability and structure and when you are right in the middle of it (which you are, right now) you hardly recognize the changes that are taking place. You are simply too close to see them. Only if you take [...]
