Xenochrony In Practice

Xenochrony like crocheting is overlaying music and was first coined by the musician Frank Zappa. Frank Zappa was friends and influenced even till this day people involved in the music industry.

Xenochrony In practise should have a guitar riff in it put on top of the tune. Originally this laring of sounds would have been done on cassette (similar to movie reels) before getting pressed to vinyl.

We live in the MP3 download and CD generation now and the song Love Generation by Bob Sinclair is I think a good example of Xenochrony In house music.

Below is a collection of video's from the Bee Bop era and beyond. This entry is a work in progress research paper I am commissioning myself to write before churning out a musical mix of Xenochrony.

Toads of the Short Forest - Frank Zappa

Do you think it looks a bit like Las Vegas? Maybe just a little? Well it is Hyde Park and it was taken not long after the image above. The focus is not as good however it is again I think a good photograph. T his image is of the Ghost train, and on that note I think I shall end the blog here, these photographs were all taken on the same day and the images are very clear. My favourite images of the three have been posted in both small and large sizes. These images ar...

Party Music 2018 A post for DJs

Hi my names Robert, I live in London and like listening to party music. I do this by YouTube, Spotify, SoundCloud and any other music hosting sites. This post is an update on the current sounds available in 2018. From funky pop music to house, techno and even drum and bass. I know a lot of you think a disco is just a place to meet and greet. I say with all device's having access anyone can DJ. These new apps give you the luxury of having access to sounds showcased in parties all around the world almost immediately.
