Crossing South - S8 E6 - Hollywood Music & Crepes (excerpt)
Some years ago, while I still had my house in La Mision, Baja, Mexico, the host of PBS's Crossing South show Jorge Meraz came over to shoot a segment of me and what I was doing down there. We spoke about my career, how my composing process worked and how I used my house in Mexico as a place of inspiration to start every project I did during those 10 years. We also spoke about Mexico and what the country and culture means to me and why I love it so much. I even got Jorge to participate in a recording!

The Music Of La Mission

My friend Julio Moreno and I made this documentary about the making of the music for the movie La Mission in 2010. Directed by Peter Bratt and starring his brother Benjamin Bratt, La Mission tells the story of a resident of the Mission district in San Francisco, an OG Lowrider and reformed inmate and alcoholic who's son he discovers is gay. In a world where that was little accepted and understo...

Goodman Nono

In January of 2022 I was staying at an AirBnB in Greenmarket Square in Cape Town and every morning awoke to the strangely captivating sound of a street guitarist singing religious songs. On investigation I met Goodman Nono, a blind guitarist who plays guitar in the most unusual way. I asked if I could film him and here is a slice of it.
Artist Profile: Pops Mohamed

I first met Pops Mohamed in Cape Town in 2006 when I hired him to play on my soundtrack for ‘Without The King’ - a doc about the kingdom of Swaziland, as it was known at the time. He played the bow, the mbira, the flute, and a few other things. But what I’d never seen a South African play before was a Kora which he brought and played brilliantly. However, what really stood out for me about Pops...

Passerelle - What Is It?

Made by Rachel Rozenkrantz and Kaki King, this auxiliary guitar bridge can turn your regular steel or nylon string guitar into something that sounds more like a Koto and plays more like a Santur. Here is the link: www.atelierrosenkrantz.com/product-page/passerelle-bridge and I see they've dropped the price to $35. Absolute bargain!!

Esraj
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.2 года назад
The Esraj is my new love! Filmed on the top of Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa, this uniquely Indian instrument has a very close association to the Sikh religion and is part Sitar and part Sarangi. It is a bowed instrument with 4 main strings, 15 sympathetic strings and moveable frets. It is very similar to the Dilruba and both have a predecesor in the Taus. In my opinion this is one ...

We start at what is widely regarded as the prototype stringed instrument, the San Mouth Bow from the Kalahari desert in South Africa. From there we will look at how it spread to the Xhosa peoples' Uhadi, the Zulu Umakhweyana, the Angolan Mbulumbumba and Hungu, the Xitende from Mozambique and then finally ending up with the Brazilian Berimbau. Oh, and did I mention an Appalachian mouth bow from ...

    Hugh Tracey did a great job of preserving this traditional music. He however is not the one who created the Kalimba. He created his own version of the Kalimba. The Kalimba, like the Mbira, is a very ancient instrument occurring in many different variations all across Africa.

    The berimbau has more than 2 tones. You produce an open and an a closed tone with the gourd and the coin 4 tones, the coin pressed lightly on the string making a buzzing tone plus the wah wah tone of the gourd.

Of course the first to record music with a bajo sexto was Tomas Ortiz from Los Alegres De Teran. Another note, If you look up Los Hermanos Cardenas, they played lots of Mazurkas and Polkas from that era.

    nice! I play the sitar and happened upon this video searching for some set-up tips for an acquaintance who acquired an esraj from the late 1800s. I have a theory off the top of my head that the peacock story *may* be sort of like a christmas tree-type syncretic effort to incorporate symbolism associated with Saraswati into the Sikh holy music tradition. Either way, it's a beautiful story. thanks for the vid! I'll check out your channel!

    I don’t understand why i see so many positive comments on the HD660S it makes me wonder if there is something wrong with my pair because when i listen to music i feel like the music is behind a curtain (veil) i do agree about them sounding very natural but it’s a bit disappointing at this price tag when comparing to other headphones. I have tried out several different EQ settings and the veil is not there to the same amount anymore but it’s still there to some degree, imaging is good but there is not a lot of soundstage. The weird thing however is that on some days they sound better and on other days worse, it’s a bit weird i must admit

    • @markkilianschannel
      @markkilianschannel Год назад

      Well I do agree to a certain extent and I think I even mention in the vid that it sounds a bit like a veil in the high end. But for working with these cans the way I do I find that a positive as they don't fatigue me the way other cans do. And also as I mentioned in the vid I have to work a bit harder at mastering with these which is a good thing because once I've got a good result with these cans, it tends to translate quite well to other systems. So I don't know if there is something wrong with yours, but for me these cans are good workhorses that are flat and don't highlight any frequencies.

    For mixing and coming from Sony 7506 which would you recommend that gets you closer to a mix that works on numerous devices? My fear is I’m going to hear a muffled sound on I coming from Sonys. Curious about Slate VSX

    • @markkilianschannel
      @markkilianschannel Год назад

      Well either the 650 or 660's would be a significant upgrade from your Sony's. But as I said in the video what's more important is how well you know the phones you're mixing on then the phones themselves. If you're happy with the mixes you're getting from the Sony's then stick to them. But when I compare my mixes on the Sennheisers and the Sony's the Sony's are much further away from what I want to hear. Those Sony's are great for in-studio work but I wouldn't mix or master with them myself.

      @@ST-fl5fy Well I wouldn't call them dark. They're just more neutral and not pushed in the high end like so many are. Of the 2 the 650's I find a little more pronounced in the high end. But you'll get a little less volume out of the 650's compared to the 660's. However, that's not a problem with the Apollo as they'll drive the 650's beautifully.

And I started to pickup an instrument since I was around 8 years old. And been playing music for more than 50 years. Accordion, guitar, bajosexto, upright bass, keyboard, saxophone, bass guitar, and very basic drum playing. But I listened to your video about your Candela bajoquinto, and your interview with Bajosexto pro. Musician Marco Polo. Man!! Congratulations!!
