...voices and the original music and lyrics of Jimmy Webb can't maintain a patchy plot. Hearing Mis Farrow as the Unicorn. Alan Arkin as Schmedrick, and Jeff Bridges as Prince Lir if anything detracts further from the movie's fluidity; their professional voices are too trained and rhythmic to be convincingly dubbed onto cartoons...
...first classical performers to concentrate on the LP recording as an art form; of a stroke; in Toronto. A Canadian-born Wunderkind who was playing the piano at 3 and composing at 5, Gould won critical acclaim as a young man for performances that pulsed with rhythmic dynamism and exuberance while retaining clarity and subtlety. He was almost as famous for such oddball habits as wearing gloves, scarf and overcoat in summer. Gould ended his concert career in 1964, concentrating after that on recordings. He defended his idiosyncratic approach by saying, "Music is a malleable art, acquiescent and philosophically flexible...
...movement actually has old and honorable antecedents. In the first of the 48 preludes and fugues that make up The Well-Tempered Clavier, Bach unfolded a serene meditation in the key of C over a placid, unchanging rhythmic pattern. To set the proper bardic tone for his mythological Ring of the Nibelung operatic saga, Wagner spun the entire Prelude of Das Rheingold from a single E-flat major triad, embellishing a bass note into a torrent of arpeggios to depict the primal nature of the Rhine. Ravel built Bolero around a sinuous, reiterated melody, clad in shifting orchestral colors, which...
...suitable vantage points where he can glare sinisterly our into the orgiastic crowd. A technical virtuoso equal to Adrian Belew or Robert Fripp of King Crimson, he sends screeching feedback and other bizarre sounds blazing to the ceiling, rips off eclectic chord changes to brand in with the rhythmic thrust laid down by Burnham and Lee, and contributes his eerie, monotonic voice strategically. For his part. King writhes and oscillates madly like a maniacal giraffe at the center of the stage, his primitive, guttural, and thoroughly expressive voice bounding through the controlled disorder let loose by his bandmates. To watch...
...like music that's rhythmic and funky. Today that word's misused completely. Originally, funky meant 'stinky.' Like, 'Your mother is goin' to spank your funky butt if you don't clean up your act." Now funk means something that is sharp and looks nice or smells good. Funk to me means more what it was originally. We have what we call this second line. More bass drums involved in the rhythm. I'll play the low bass notes with my left hand to give the illusion of a bass drum...
