It has now been about 50 years since I met Joris de Laet from the SEM (Studio Experimental Music), later I worked with Michel Waisviz from the Steim ... also a long time ago. I see that electronics have advanced enormously. Last week it was great music... now great electronics. But still, the passion and inventiveness of de Laet and Waisvisz clearly compensated for the inferior electronics.
heeeyyyyy...I play my doumbek & djembe like that!!!!!!!!!!!!! here I thought I was the only one 🙂 wish this old N. Italiano tambourista could someday join your jams!! waaahhooo 🙂[sub'd/lkd]
Music should always be reinterpreted. But to me this is leaning far too much on original music by people kept unknown, and it borders exploitation of original folk music.
