Jan/Oct 2008 / Managing house's musical overload
ENTRY TO EDIT
Relationship to music – How to manage selection of musical material in that house covers an overwhelming mass of musical genres
How anything might become house depending on how its used - what tracks its used in relation to, its tempo, overlap, juxtaposition other sound(s), and what these say to each other or as a braided (mixed) entity
How to work with DJ and give up some control - Might be able to better approximate the improvisational/spontaneous aspect of house as it is in its context (a party, set, club, living room/basement, etc) and the negotiated relationship between DJ/dancer if I give up some control of the performance playlist...
Need to interview DJs, sit down and actually do a close listening with actual mixes - How and why did they make those choices? Can they compare differences between their own sets - between distinct mixes? Is there a common approach, a formula? Or is every set different? Somewhere in between? - Note this idea is based on my own obsessive behavior of listening to a mix as I drive for weeks on end until I hear changes/understand overlaps/transitions of tracks/get a sense of a mix's journey, etc. {Aside: My son will eventually let me know that he's sick of hearing the same mix and ask me - quite nicely - to change the music}
