Hang time

June 10, 2006 By Chris Corrigan Music 3 Comments

That’s Hang (pronounced “hung”), a beautiful contemporary steel hand drum. I played one last summer and they are gorgeous. Today, thanks to a great post at the Soundroots blog I discovered some great recordings of the hang, including some beauties from Alan Tower. Enjoy! mp3: Alan Tower – This Idea Can Save the Planet

When a gift is not a gift

May 28, 2006 By Chris Corrigan Music, Philanthropy One Comment

Thoreau, from May 27, 1851: I saw an organ-grinder this morning before a rich man’s house, thrilling the street with harmony, loosening the very paving stones and tearing the routine of life to rags and tatters, when the lady of the house shoved up a window and in a semiphilanthropic tone inquired if he wanted anything to eat. But he, very properly it seemed to me, kept on grinding and paid no attention to her question, feeding her ears with melody unasked for. So the world shoves up its window and interrogates the poet, and sets him to gauging ale …

Bringing beauty back to the blog

May 23, 2006 By Chris Corrigan Music One Comment

It was a rainy day here on Bowen Island, so I pushed around some pieces of my blog. Readers familiar with the evolution of Parking Lot over the past four years will remember that I once devoted a great deal of time to reading poetry and collecting the work of poets I admire. I have reset those collections, and you can find them on the sidebar in the “Collections of poetry” page. The Denise Levertov collection is still one of the most popular pages on this whole site. Also in the sidebar is a restoration of a page that has …

The world of overtones

March 27, 2006 By Chris Corrigan Music One Comment

There are many ways of producing overtones in music.   Anyone who vibrates air in a tube for a living produces overtones as their way of making music.   THis includes brass players, didgeridoo, alpenhorn and so on.   Buglers get their notes strictly from overtones, as they have no keys on their instruments.   And of course, vocally, it is possible to produce overtomes as well, giving the eerie sounds of Tuuvan throat singing. i love overtones because they remind me that there is so much more to the music than what is immediately audible.   It is a …
