Toilet & Bowels · 11.30.2006, 11:15 AM

does anyone know of any notable accordianists, aside from pauline oliveros?

There was some guy played at Bowie's Meltdown festival, I think. hang on, I'll have a look.

EDIT - Kimmo Pohjonen

There's a girl who plays in the southbank with the guy they made the first legal busker in britain who is an awesome accordionist.I'll check to see if her name is on our website because i can't spell it.

Astor Piazzolla is pretty great. I love "Zero Hour."

Local duo Dreamland Faces are a very excellent accordian/singing saw combo that do eerie old-style music, sometimes with shadow puppets. Great musicians too. The singing saw guy really knows how to play notes on the thing, and it sounds quite Theremin-like at times.

Check out The Gotan Project. They have some interesting accordian playing on their recordings. I recommend Lunatico.

I downloaded a few songs a while ago but i wasn't too impressed.It's not bad as such but not my thing.

Iain · 12.01.2006, 05:39 AM

Bummer, I'm trying to find some stuff to download as we speak.

sonicl · 12.01.2006, 05:43 AM

I have an Angel Corpus Christi 7", a version of Suicide's "Cheree" with Alan Vega doing the vocals. It's nice enough, and an interesting novelty, but with Vega doing the vocals, a novelty is exactly what it feels like and it's put me off thinking about exploring any further.

porkmarras · 12.01.2006, 06:47 AM

Many thanks for that.I have some Piazzola at home that i'll try to upload if i can be arsed.

It's "accordion" with an 'o'. Yeah, I know you were just using T & B's spelling haha.
...lazy people with minds made of mush...maybe you could go into rock 'n' roll...

The irony being that you're perfectly aware of the fact that ellipses are surrogate semi-colons and we're all human, all to human.

[Does it undermine my point to say I'm quite pleased with that gag?]
