in the garden

This summer I had the pleasure to play some records in the wonderful Garden at Zadar, Croatia. If you have the chance travel there - do so - you won't regret!!
Here's the recording of the first hour from saturday afternoon. Every time I listen to it I have the fondest memories of standing there in the shade, watching the ships float by, sipping on Aperol Spritz and playing some music for my lady reading a book, Bobby Beige taking a nap and the garden's guests chilling out.
I feel the urge have to mention that this mix starts with a recording by Luc Ferrari called Presque Rien No.1 (Le Lever Du Jour Au Bord De La Mer). The original recordings for this piece are said to be recorded at the croation coast not far away from Zadar so I took the opportunity to bring it back there. Kind of my way to say thank you, Monsieur Ferrari. At least I got rewarded by some strange looks of the garden's service team :) I hope you enjoy this releaxed hour ...

Hugest thanks to Bobby, Charlotte, Nick and the whole Garden Team for some amazing days in the sun!

Paradise Aiways

Summertime is near on this half on the globe, even if doesn't always feel like it, temerature-wise. I just finished a mix and I hope the sun will shine a little bit
more for the sake of these tunes. check them out here

Moonboots on Balearic Social Radio!

 

Last year's last show of Andy Pye's excellent Balearic Social Radio featured a 3-hour long  Moonboots mix. I have hardly listened to anything else the last days...

the joy of cooking #24 - bella italia & more

dedicated to the man who taught me how to cook



download


streamhere

since i started the joy of cooking I wanted to have a show dedicated to the world's #1 cuisine - bella italia. I gathered quite a few tracks so that it was getting more and more difficult to chose the "right ones". 2 weeks ago i stopped looking for the perfect tracks and just made part one. more parts will follow in the future... For part one I decided to leave out some usual suspects as well as ignore the so called "Italo Disco". Instead I focussed almost only on songs that I discovered in record shops (except from 2 or 3 tracks) and I hope you'll enjoy it nevertheless....

cheers, Basso

PS. 

If you like it a little more experimental "growing bin style" check out the show before.

it's #23 and it's called "lentil soup and heavy rain"
 I recorded it on a day that was the fourth day of heavy and constant rain in a row and it went well with the lentil soup that i was cooking afterwards....

the joy of shopping

sorry for the pic - I couldn't resist! Men can be just the same!!
actually it should have been a picture of a vegetables market like this

a while ago I had another show on deepfrequency.com called the joy of shopping before cooking.
of course it's dedicated to those wonderful moments of strolling over a food market, getting together the ingredients for tonight's dinner. and of course i'm bringing in the record thing again. For this show i only used songs from records I currently had for sale over at growingbinrecords.com - some still left ....

Jeff Resnick... nine minute sample of a holy grail record

That's a nine minute taste of one of my favourite albums "ever".

I have to thank Reza's post for letting me discover it.

That's how Jazzy Jeff Resnick (who recently joined The Growing Bin: thank you Jeff!) describes his Holy Grail record:

In 1978, I scored the music for a promotional film about the School of American Craftsmen and School of Art and Design at the Rochester Institute of Technology. My challenge was to create “tone poems” as an emotional connection to each department within the schools. Thus, the song titles on this CD! The first 5 tracks were recorded and mixed in four hours, thanks to very talented musicians from the Eastman School of Music. When the money ran out (rather quickly), I was asked what I could do for Side 2 of a promotional LP to be pressed as a hand-out to prospective students nationwide. I fired up my 4-track reel-to-reel deck and entered the bizarre world of the “one-man-band” for the first time. That process is much easier today with computers and MIDI, but in 1978 I was way ahead of the curve! The final four selections were layered, track upon track, using a metronome for tempo. That was the last I heard about the project until 30 years later, when the “last sealed copies” of the LP were sold on the Internet for more money than I remember being paid in 1978 to produce the entire project! Since then, music from the film has been heard worldwide, leading me to produce this “Collector Limited Edition.” I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed working (and playing) on it. And Thanks to Gianni for "finding me."

So, you have three options:

1) keep searching on ebay another copy of 1978 original vinyl
(I suggest you to start saving a lot of money: check here or here)

2) buy a personalized (thank you Jeff!) 14,99 $ CD copy here!

3) buy mp3s here or here.

What can I say more?
I agree with Reza's comment:
great to see the cd "Collector Limited Edition" is available to purchase on your website, hope your receiving some just rewards, think the whole thing would be worthy of a proper vinyl reissue, up in my top ten fave albums, thank you

Holy Grail territory.
All Killer No Filler.
