beautiful technology (MP3)

Another great guest mix by J. Ben Leonard from flood watch music. His dissection of many a hip hop, funk and jazz record and general music blogging in the last little while (or at least since I found his blog anyway) has compelled me to invite him to compile this guest mix. Armed only with the theme beautiful technology this is his contribution… At times I long for the absence of any traces of technology in music, a stark sound-world of unamplified acoustic guitars, pianos, wind instruments, drums. Then I recall the incredible variety of textures that electronic sounds can produce, and when combined with natural, acoustic sounds, the sonic palette expands to infinity. This mix contains elements of my favorite flavors of technology, from the cumbersome the to the streamlined: awkwardly triggered samples, disembodied voices, analog synths, dense harmonic colors, the capturing of an intimate performance, an electric piano leading a crack jazz band.
