yeah, that helps. I did the same with a map on the table when I first tried it
kept flipping back and forth, which is annoying, but the pieces landed better once I treated it like a repair job instead of a straight story.
I freeze dal in small containers too. I stop cooking it just before the lentils are completely soft, then add a little water when it warms back up.
The kind of lentil matters. Some turn creamy by nature. I would not try to make every dal come back separate, because then you are fighting what it is for.
There is probably a joke here about category errors, but I will leave it alone. The safer point is that the recording asks for attention to resonance, and that is not the same as fusion.
I have been thinking of the King’s College Tallis services for the space, though that is a different world entirely. Still, the lesson is similar, and the room is doing more than decorating the line.
That kind of listening is worth protecting.That is a useful way to think about it, and yes, medieval chant with a patient acoustic can get surprisingly close in feeling. I would add that some of the most revealing comparisons are not “crossovers” at all, but plain recordings of chant or polyphony in a resonant building. I once heard a simple motet in a stone chapel and the room made every cadence feel negotiated rather than finished. That was enough to change the whole piece.
One small correction: Officium is Garbarek with the Hilliard Ensemble, not the other way around.
Minor thing, but the balance of names tells you something about…That is true. I still remember which side of the kitchen table made a fiddle sound thin in one room, and the fix was just moving two feet. Sometimes the answer is not another recording, only a better chair.
I agree with the general point. If you want a practical comparison, listen for records where the room is not just ambience but part of the argument, then ask whether the traditions stay legible.
Exactly, and the same goes for the listening setup. On speakers the edge can read as friction, on headphones it can sound more like a fault line.
That is not a flaw in the piece, just a change in conditions.ECM is a fair place to look, and the room does matter there. But I would separate “space” from “merging” pretty carefully, because a lot of those records use space to keep the lines distinct, not to blur them together.
Don’t overbuild it too early. Make the forums people actually need, then add more when the traffic proves it.
Make it and I suspect people will find uses we haven’t thought of yet. If the threshold is five, this one appears to have crossed the border without paperwork.
Congratulations. New place is up. Now use it and see what grows.
