A few years ago I contributed a couple podcasts to the late, great Stylus Magazine. One mix that I made but never got around to running was an experiment: how many one minute songs did I have in my collection, and how many could I string together in one mix without coughing up something that was unlistenably jarring?
So, I figured I’d post it here. I won’t give the tracklist just yet – it’s more fun if you don’t know going in who you’ll listen to, though some are easier to recognize than others. I think I sequenced it pretty well for minimum aural whiplash. Comments welcome.
Loved it! Was that some player piano music by Conlon Nancarrow? Wonderful!!!
Good call! That’s him. Glad you dug it!
The other solo piano piece was Morton Feldman, some track from the John Tilbury 4-CD set they released a few years ago.
Great track list.
Just a week ago, I stumbled upon The Couch-to-5K Running Plan (http://coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml). “Great!”, I said, “If only I had some music for my iPod where each song’s only one minute long, then I’d know when to switch between jogging and walking.”
