Music from the Bauls of Bengal

OK, so I’m probably not the first to think of that pun but I could not resist. Monisha and I made a side trip to Shantiniketan, the rural retreat founded by Nobel-prize winning poet Rabinranath Tagore. It is a wonderful break from the Kolkata chaos. I was a bit disappointed as far as my quest [...]
Battle of the Bands

Next episode in my Kolkata musical quest.

Rich Rath The Revolution Will Not Be on the Internet 5:28	Sampled modems and dialtones and guitars under words inspired by Gil Scott Heron and dub poet Mutabaruka. Number 1 at Project Opus!Also to be on the Art for a Change CD.	[MP3] 5.0 mg
Rich Rath Bomb the Beach 5:01	. . . a page from the news, inspired by the day the Israelis bombed a Palestinian family having a picnic on the beach, killing several of them.	[MP3] 6.9 mg
Rich Rath (What's the matter with a little) Class War 2:42	What's the matter with a little class war? Huh?	"Scrubby:" [MP3] 2.5 mg
Rich Rath goto work 5:21	Found sounds and processed guitars to make a swirling wordless narrative soup. Kinda ambient with a subway driving through it. "Go to Work" uses these sounds from the great Freesound Project.	[MP3] 4.9 mg
Rich Rath untitled 3:58	New song I am working on. It needs lyrics....anyone want to try? Kind of like a cross between REM and exile-era Stones trying to sound like the Pixies doing a 1960s bubblegum psychedelic song if that makes any sense.	[MP3] 3.6 mg
Rich Rath Breathe 1:30	A short instrumental. A bunch of guitars. Soundtrack music. Scene — rainy day, urban sidewalks, neon sign in a window, hot coffee in a paper cup.	[MP3] 1.3 mg
Rich Rath Heath Street Line (Sagar) 1:07	Another short instrumental, this time all synthesizers...sounded like Bollywood, reminded someone of Boston's nonexistent Heath Street tram line, sounding kind of ghostly, like the ersatz train.	[MP3] 1 mg
Rich Rath dronebox tramp 3:18	What happens when you put a dronebox with a tramp?	[MP3] 4.5 mg
Rich Rath polycombatose 8:31	the polycomb in action...not sure if I like this yet...	[MP3] 11.7 mg
Rich Rath Ambient 040328 5:28	Ambient soundscape with one guitar and tape loops.	[MP3] 5.0 mg
Rich Rath Ambient 040428 5:37	Ditto, different loops, different day.	[MP3] 5.1 mg
