Sometimes I'm pretty familiar with what a general term like "electronics" indicates in a given instance (though there's still, of course, a chance things will have changed) and can extrapolate from there. And often there's some accompanying literature that goes into the why's or wherefore's of a disc's construction, post-processing, what-have-you.<BR/><BR/>But just as frequently, things will be left mysterious, sometimes deliberately. This is totally, absolutely fine, of course. If I get the impression that the artist actually prefers not to reveal the technical nature of what's going on, I'll respect that (and admire the stance, usually). But if, as in the Zach disc, things are presented "routinely", ie, instrumentation listed, in this case a bit erroneously (not identifying the sruti box as electronic), I've no reason to believe otherwise unless something in the sound *really* makes me question the attribution, in which case I may try to get further info or verification from the musician involved.<BR/><BR/>Now, that in and of itself is interesting, I think, the way one bends what one is hearing to what one *thinks* is the case, instrumentally but if you're unfamiliar with the instrument as such and if (as far as I know) the electronic equivalent does a pretty fair job of emulation, well, whatcha gonna do?Brian Olewnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08567239067604835372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-1165006655392541082006-12-01T15:57:00.000-05:002006-12-01T15:57:00.000-05:00ah, liner notes...so, how do you handle "electroni...ah, liner notes...<BR/><BR/>so, how do you handle "electronics" as a credit?<BR/><BR/>some albums I've heard (recent improv at that) have actually benefitted from overdubbing/editing. Gunter Muller has a couple releases that have been sculpted after the fact. Otomo Yoshihide/Park Je Chun/Mi Yeon "Loose Community" features overdubs by a host of cool folks...some examples, a tangent, etc. friday!billygomberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06083588692389783984noreply@blogger.com
