Hi, While it's cool to hear Zorn music in the local cinema, I didn't like the way they used it in this film. It's pretty cliched "horror music". Like, uuuhhh, here comes the scary heavy metal part, dun dun DUNNN!!!! But the funny thing is that one of the pieces they used contains a short surf rock part, which for obvious reasons they had to edit out for the movie! Too bad they did though, it might have had a pretty unusual effect with a bit of Frisell twang in one of those scenes! >From: "Bruno N" <fortytwos(a)hotmail.com> >To: zorn-list(a)mailman.xmission.com >Subject: Zorn In The Movies >Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2003 16:57:11 +0000 > >As we all know, John Zorn has done a lot of film music throughout his >career. > >However, recently, I rented one of the best German movies out there, "Funny >Games".

Zorn In The Movies
by Bruno N 30 Jan '03

As we all know, John Zorn has done a lot of film music throughout his career. However, recently, I rented one of the best German movies out there, "Funny Games". I had originally seen the film years ago, and was blown away by this movie. After watching it again the other night, they actually used the cut "Bonehead" off of Grand Guinol. There is one scene where one of the killers is looking for his victim in this huge house. It's great because the killer says to his victim, "I'll put some music on for us." If I was being chased, and if I were to hear my killer put on Grand Guinol, I would realize the end is inevitable. Just wanted to share with my fellow Zorn listeners. The movie is really good though, and worth a look. Bruno _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

One time post/question

Hello, For those whom have short tolerance for those of us with a lack of knowledge please delete this now and read no further. Ok for those of you nice people whom are left..... my name is Tammy, I'm a first year Music Technology major at Central Missouri State University. Currently we have group projects assigned requiring us to research music producers. As you can by now guess my group is researching John Zorn. How ever my portion of the research is to find as much information about his early career (before his first recording) as I can. This wasn't as easy of a task as I thought it would be. If I could get the answers to a couple of questions like "What sparked his interest in music" "What kind equipment does he use to record" and basically anything else about his life in the recording industry before his first record. Thanks in advance, Tammy ________________________________________________________________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month! Visit www.juno.com

caetano in excelsis
by K. Scott Handley 29 Jan '03

I think Skip Heller once wrote on this list that Caetano Veloso seemed as though he could do no wrong (with the exception of autobiography, to touch back upon the "Ikue Mori Explains Self" topic under discussion). Well, for those who believe this claim, we now have an artifact to justify your love: from the Dusty Groove mailorder site: "Caetano Veloso -- Todo Caetano (39 CD's & DVD) . . . CD . . . Universal (Brazil), 1960s/1970s/1980s/1990s (39CDs + DVD) Condition: New Copy Add View Cart Everything you'd ever want by Caetano Veloso -- wrapped up in a beautiful box set! This massive package is really wonderful -- and features all of Caetano's albums for Philips packaged in tiny 5" record sleeves, laid out in a metal box set that also includes a hardcover book with writings on the music in Portuguese. Plus, the set also includes a bonus DVD, exclusive to the set -- and the packaging of all albums is faithful to the rare originals -- such that Transa comes with a tri-fold cover, Araca Azul with a gatefold and insert, and so on. And if that's not enough, the set also includes the Japanese album of Singles by Caetano, featuring many rare non-album tracks from the classic years! The whole thing's simply amazing -- filled with some of the best work ever recorded in Brazil, and packaged in a way that is a fitting tribute to the genius of Caetano! Titles include Araca Azul, Transa, Cinema Transcendental, Tropicalia, Tropicalia 2, Domingo, Caetano Veloso (1969), Caetano Veloso (1971), Bicho, Joia, Uns, Velo, Cores Nomes, Circulado, and lots lots more! (Please note: This set is packaged in a way that is a bit self-destructive, and although the core contents are well protected, the metal box has caused some dings and marks on the outside. This seems to be a flaw with the item, and you should take note.)" For those who are familiar with the Veloso, oeuvre, exactly how many mediocre albums or clunkers could one expect to find in this batch? -----s

So we already know that Cobra, FantômasMelvins Bigband, Electric Masada, Fred Frith/Ensemble Moderne and a few others will be there... but come on, doesn't anyone here have access to the full lineup? Please, spill the beans! It already looks like it's going to be a super year at Victoriaville, and I'm really eager to find out who else will be playing. Oh well, if nobody has the inside scoop (or has been sworn to secrecy), guess I'll have to wait some more...

Pieces for guitar/King Ubu
by Efrén del Valle 29 Jan '03

29 Jan '03

And talking about Bailey, what do you guys think about his "Pieces for Guitar" album on Tzadik? (sorry if already discussed). I'm really curious about Teiji Ito's work. Is "King Ubu" (tzadik) a good starter? What should I expect? Thanks in advance. Best, EfrÃ©n del Valle ___________________________________________________ Yahoo!

>So any recommendatiosn for epsecially his solo CDs? SOme of the >stuff on his own label http://www.30hertzrecords.com looks good, but >I don't really know where to start. The Public Image , Second Edition, (formerly Metal Box) is essential. Previously unmentioned but fabulous sprawling, spacey dub, is A Dub Transmission (Bass the Final Frontier) with Laswell. Also, going back a few years but regularly available on ebay is the Divination, volumes 1 & 2 of Light in Extension.
