Little radio report on Conlon Nancarrow. If you've ever used a computerized "piano roll" as a compositional tool, you're following in the footsteps of this musical pioneer. Using a custom-made punching rig he punched from scratch REAL piano rolls -- paper ones, for player piano. No performer and no other instrument was capable of playing his more difficult compositions... and a lot of them were "more difficult."

Nancarrow largely went for effects based on real playing, just expanded to something preposterous. He expatriated to Mexico and built those instruments, really an individual pioneer. Zappa really appreciated Nancarrow, calls him out on Tinseltown Rebellion after Peaches III.

He fought against Franco's Falange in Spain with the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, and after his treatment upon return to the US, I can hardly blame him for staying in Mexico.
Fascinating composer, and an all around interesting human being, as well.

I just heard Black Page by the '88 band, where the first statement is a slow, jazz treatment. They're nailing those 11s and 22s in the time of four after the solo, too. youtube video, Barcelona I think.

...sort of inevitably...

MC Solaar "Bouge de lá"/Serge Gainsbourg "Flash-Forward".

always thought the phrasing of the "Au Roxy Hotel si je debloque..." line was a big influence on MC S.
