A musical serial. Episode 73: La Nuit / Slow Maqams.
Some records sound great just as they are, but reveal a whole new dimension when played at different speeds. This episode opens with the album Blue Maqams by Anouar Brahem, released october 2017, at 0.4x the intended speed. The high notes played by the pianist now become a slow, middle register, slightly off piano solo.
Blue Maqams is followed by David Lynch and Marek Zebrowski, who seem to be using slowed down instruments as well, and like Brahem (La Nuit) give us their view of the night. To end, we come back to Blue Maqams is it was intended.
