Kitsos Harisiadis β Lament in a Deep Style 1929-1931 (Third Ear)
youtube
Detailed pen-and-ink R. Crumb portrait art aside, thereβs plenty else to recommend Lament in a Deep Style 1929-1931 as an aperture into the art of Kitsos Harisiadis, a largely forgotten purveyor of Greek folk clarinet. Harisiadis was a resident of Epirus, a rural region of Northwestern Greece bordering Albania. Turkish influences on the cultural of the area where prominent due in no small part to centuries bearing the brunt of military aggression. Harisiadisβ musical style bears commonalities with Turkish contemporaries like Sukru Tunar in the favoring of a wide vibrato in the service of sweeping scalar trills. Microtonal gradations where built into his carefully-controlled phrasing and share temporally-distant echoes with the work of modern improvisers like Floros Floridis and the late Joe Maneri.
Third Earβs presentation and packaging of the music merits comment as well. The Crumb cover is an inspired touch and joins a small wealth of period photos in presenting a visual panorama of Harisiadisβ time and place. An ardent essay by Christopher King further elaborates on particulars, placing the music in context, albeit with some arguable editorial erratum including βthe evils of globalismβ and quoted dialogue form the old Kung Fu TV show included. Those attempts to draw metaphysical or even mystical connections, though apparently grounded in Harisiadisβ own animistic aims, ultimately end up feeling superfluous when measured against the almost tactile skill and emotional import infusing Harisiadisβ music. King makes special mention of two largely improvised musical forms represented among the collectionβs fourteen pieces, the mirologi and sarkos noting the stark differences in terms of dark and light and sorrow and calm.
Harisiadis was apparently averse to amplification of his instrument, preferring instead to preserve its natural sonorities. Despite living to the age of seventy-eight, his recording fell into a finite three-year window and infrequent trips to Athens to yield a mere twenty-four 78rpm sides. The extant music falls into three general regional categories, but structurally falls into comparable forms with Harisiadis stating and embellishing on a melodic line against stringed and struck accompaniment. His by turns swooping and racing clarinet is almost always at the vanguard, although solos by violin, lute and zither-like kanonaki are also audible in the small ensembles in loose approximations of counterpoint. One of the finest and concentrated examples comes with the intense and dolorous βDelvino kai Tsamourgia,β which comes closest to authenticating the more embroidered of Kingβs assertions.

LESSON #10 NOT ALL THAT SHINES IS GOLD
Surely it has happened to you that you are walking down the street and a salesman approaches you to offer you glasses. "REIVAN" SEΓORITAAA I DO PRICE. And you look at him with #choloplease face, they do not sell me cat for a hare, those glasses are more false than facebook friend and I NEVER acquire imitations. OHHHHH REALLY?!?! Well, I have two bad news for you. 1) You have beginnings of Alzheimer's 2) In your love history you must have at least a couple of the following gems for which you paid full price and they faded with time: - The bohemian: From the first appointment in which it took you to a bar caleta where a couple of disheveled playing themes of Silvio Rodriguez, you were captivated by the "depth" of his "soul contrariada". During prolonged hours and courtesy of several cheap drinks (almost as much as his floro) I went to fill your head with # pseudoreflective / philosophical concepts about the cosmos, life, love and how much your deluged head could reproduce. He convinced you that you were the new muse of his babbling, uncontrolled songs and poems of little time and you almost offered to stay in balls to see if you did not make a picture of Leonardo and Kate on the Titanic. The issue is that as time goes by, the neurons that went on vacation (after OMG knew how to play guitar on guitar), they come back and start to notice that ... well, to put it briefly ... IT'S A POOR IMBΓCIL and the huachafadas that were romantic to you at first now get you out of control. You want to bathe him, shave him, put on a Tommy chompita and take him to take a starbucks. Bohemians really exist single and bacchanal if you're bohemian back but playing at who you are can be exhausting.
- The prophet: Oh what luck yours! Right in this minute of your life in which you walk so lost (according to him) and so in need of guidance (according to him) you come across this roe in the road. And hold on because it comes with a list of things you're doing up to the pin and you need to change ASAP. New religion, new principles, new rules of the game. And at the beginning all right, because you want to "improve as a person" (the shell your mother is convincing right?) So you enter the sluggish. You go to talks, you read books, you start eating grass and just when you are about to reach the third nirvana you realize that you are becoming a bosa nova version of yourself. I tell you something about your second-hand Dalai Lama: he is nothing more and nothing less than an absolutely confused child who needs to cling to something, so he is filled with a buffet of concepts and theories that make him feel more comfortable in the world but that in reality will change as soon as possible for others that sound more interesting. Unreliable, addict toxic and terribly exhausting. So tell him to put his philosopher's stone where it gives him more divine inspiration than you are not going to be anyone's laboratory mouse.
- The Oedipus: One of the most disturbing famous Greek myths is that which gives rise to the term "Oedipus complex" It is said of the son who develops loving feelings for his mother. Well, I do not know if they reach such a length but definitely these men have a chronic case of mastitis. Mom's conceited sons, they present themselves at the beginning as a great match ... Who does not like a man who gets along well with his mother? Who cares for and engulfs the woman who brought him into the world? ... Yes, it sounds nice, until you realize that the asshole is 28 years old and the old woman still buys her underpants. And there you are, in the middle of a candlelight dinner and he decides to call her for the tenth time to tell her that he ate well that day but still his belly is hurting a little. Ah! And forget it if the lady itches you the eyelash number 3 of the right eye because you're going to sit in the restaurant while the asshole runs to 5 pharmacies to take him painkillers. These men clearly have a woman in their life and even if you are not shitting, it is a competition in which you will always lose and from which you honestly do not need to be a part. Let the poor bastard come back to be breastfed (if it were physically possible do not doubt that he would) and you get one that comes with the umbilical cord cut.
- The stallion: From the first minute this specimen is sold as if it were the twin of Charly Sheen (and beware that he is the asshole of the family). Exceeding self-confidence, it makes you know indirectly almost puts it on Facebook status that if they gave Oscars to the best performance in bed it would be Meryl Streep. Then you sacrifice yourself and decide that someone has to verify if this information is true # martyr # candidate for canonization. And at the time of the hour it turns out that Mr. Much noise and few nuts (very few) was more lost than Ciro in the Colca (#chistecruel #toosoon). You almost had to open Google Maps to give you directions where you had to go. The worst part is that they feel they are some stars, that this set of "tricks" and "movements" that they learned in a forum of Yahoo! Answers are an unbreakable combo of pleasure. Single, remember that true experts do not feel the need to stress it, because they are men of actions and not of words.
In short, how are there so many others but at the end of the day, it is important to understand that cheap is expensive. There are imitations everywhere and it requires to have crammed full some experience to detect the truly valuable ones. Sometimes it means waiting a bit, but remember that there is nothing like an original.
