RispondiEliminaSeems like it might be the wrong speed, though. Maybe I'll try to pitch-correct it.
RispondiEliminaWhoops, I thought I had already thanked you before I started nit-picking! I think my other comment failed the captcha. In any case, thank you.
RispondiEliminaPerhaps my ears are too slow, but it does indeed seem a trifle fast. I do appreciate the effort.
RispondiEliminaI slowed it down 24% using Audacity to match the timings in the Cecil Taylor sessionography and it seems right now. I can e-mail the slowed-down files if you want (though I imagine they'd be massive attachments), and also it wasn't at all hard to do -- I just opened all the files in Audacity, chose Change Speed -- minus 24% -- and used Export to turn them back into FLACs.
RispondiElimina(I promise this isn't an ad or anything! I have no affiliation with Audacity and just downloaded it last night for this purpose.)
thanks very much matt w for all your comments. if you correct the speed and you send me the concert, i'll re-upload this show.
EliminaMatt W, would be great to hear your pitch corrected version!!
RispondiEliminathanks Ilario!!
I want to thank you for this recording and I appreciate the pitch corrected version. I just have to ask if I am the only one having a hard time dling it. It hits a certain point and stops. I have tried several times over several sessions. Others have work fine on RS. Any help would be much appreciated.
RispondiEliminaSotise - didn't know this was your blog. Glad I ran across it. Thanks.
As I said already about the recordings of Max Roach Quartet und Thelonious Monk Project, this is not a pitch-problem, but a speed-problem! That means the pitch-corrected version by Matt W doesn't make it any better, cause it's still the same speed, - which is a lot too fast. Believe me, I'm an experienced musician, and I'm 100% sure about this.

RispondiEliminaMille grazie, è davvero qualcosa di straordinario!
RispondiEliminaSorry for coming late to this "Very very Circus"... it looks highly intriguing!!!!
RispondiEliminaIf this is a 1984 recording I am not sure i see how, due to tape recorders being almost always the tool being used, how this could be anything but slowed down tape recorder, THUS BOTH A PITCH AND TIME PROBLEM!!! ... or maybe the times listed were wrong? but 24% is pretty huge, that would take it down like a minor or major third or something... too bad we cant ask cecil, lol
However I will get what is being offered, is this the alleged too fast one? or the "time corrected" one... seriously if you think that only the speed was wrong I dont think you understand the chain of causes.
It would be a good learning exercise for me using Audacity to monkey with this. As it is Audactiy still blows my mind... last time i used it I had to change my flaky mouse cause I had no idea what clicks were doing.
So can anyone tell me which version I am downloading here? ... that is, the ilario Rosen 23 February, 2013.... is that the original which is supposed to be 24% too slow? or the "time corrected" that is quite possibly the wrong pitch but the correct time length...???
