Hi,
I've just got back from a week away to find this lot, and would really
like to listen to Alice & Emily's sound.
Sadly when I click on the link the RealPlayer box duly pops up, takes
ages to load, then sits there refusing to do anything.
It's probably something very computer illiterate I'm doing - any
helpful comments would be welcome, please.
As a fool stepping in where angels, etc. ....
Bach's music can work fantastically on totally authentic period
instruments, if the musicians are good enough.
His music can also work well with modern electrics, if the musicians
are good enough.
I believe JSB himself reckoned the piano would never catch on, as it
was when he first heard it. Then it developed.
Some musical experiments are regrettable, but if they don't speak to
enough people they die out; if they do they live, and tastes change and
develop.
In the 70's I really liked folk rock, and Steel-eye Span; these days I
prefer the more traditional bare-bones stuff I would have got bored
with then.
As a parallel, I happen to like small harps, and really don't like much
of the sound of the (to my mind) over-developed full orchestral harp,
but it seems to please a lot of intelligent people.
Is it so terrible to push the boundaries?
Who does the music belong to?
Who needs protecting from what?
Should we start a music and philosophy group :)
And I still can't get the clips to work.
Richard.

Hello folks
There may be one or two apart from Adrian interested in the Alice
person.
Here she is playing with Emily Hoile at the Chantry Museum last night
for the Windy Gyle Band Force 6 launch. This won't be to everyone's
liking but gives a flavour of what she & Emily get up to when left to
their own devices. Aplogies for overloads, I started my Edirol running
and then totally neglected the levels - Emily's harp shook the living
daylights out of it!
