Folk / Classical / Post-Modern / Electronic / Traditional / Computer Music / Experimental

The instruments are guitar, violin, computer, occasional voice; the music, some settings and arrangements of well-known folk songs as well as several original folk-like pieces. Folk music lovers will undoubtedly say it's not really folk music (they're right); computer music aficionados and cyberspace cadets may not think of it as computer music (maybe they're right too); and guitar freaks will say our guitar is not nearly as good as Leo Kottke's (oh boy are they right). Though it's not a bad thing to defy description, the best way to understand the music is probably found in the title, Folk Images. At the risk of seeming overly metaphorical I'll say that these images are not photographs, but rather paintings of folk music, with some awkward and blurry features, and just enough peculiarity to make them seem unusual, even though they strain to appear realistic–not unlike the work of some recent painters whose canvasses have a photographic quality but still are obviously paintings.

This is also folk music filtered through the ears of a composer (and folk music lover, senior cyberspace cadet, certified guitar-freak) with his own particular history: growing up in N.Y.C. in the 1950's; High School of Music and Art, Buck's Rock Work Camp, Ethical Culture Society; Sundays in Washington Square Park listening to Eric Weissberg and Dave Van Ronk (and hoping to meet girls); enjoying The New Lost City Ramblers, Reverend Gary Davis, Pete Seeger, Elizabeth Cotton, WWVA, Earl Scruggs, Lester Flatt, Merle Travis; struggling on his own to master 3-finger picking; hearing Berio, Wolpe, Cage, Feldman, and Vivaldi at the New School; meeting Varèse taking his evening stroll on Bleeker Street; playing Berlioz and Mendelssohn with the All City Orchestra on Saturday mornings.

These pieces, arrangements, and settings attempt to distill, emulate, and paraphrase some of the things I love best about folk music: jangling, frantic guitar sounds; melancholy tunes which have aged just enough to sound distant and odd; triumphant displays of 'sold your soul to the devil' virtuosity; nostalgia for the 1930's (I recently heard a prominent rock critic quip that the folk music revival in the 50's was probably a plot of the Communist Party and the M.L.A.). Finally, as in many of my other pieces, where I attempt to confront our perceptions of things which we take for granted, these highly filtered images of folk music are meant to develop new perspectives. But, in order to capture the feel of sweaty, human effort, which is such an important aspect of this music, they avoid the leap into the domain of the experimental or avant-garde. All but two of the pieces are purely instrumental. (I never did work up an interest in the words; so many of the texts, three in this set, in fact, are about lovers killing each other.)

The pieces can be taken in on many levels: from the complex–the rhythm in Delia, the intonation in Pretty Polly and Barbara Allen, or some of the computer techniques–to the simple: Ash Grove and Wayfaring Stranger are just great tunes. There should be something here for folk music lovers, computer music fans and guitar junkies. In the end, however, I hope the listener can just enjoy these pieces with the same kind of basic pleasure that one gets from listening to the best of folk music– sit back and sing along. –Paul Lansky, 7/95
