Aashoq Shodayee - Ahmad Zahir
This is my favorite Ahmad Zahir song. My earliest childhood memories are this song playing in my parents’ car while they sang along to each and every word. It’s so peaceful to listen to.

With cupped hands, girls and women of the BaAka Forest People play the river like a drum, each taking on a different rhythmic pattern that complements the others.

<3 art | John Cage performing “Water Walk” in January, 1960 on the popular TV show I’ve Got A Secret. via WFMU:
“At the time, Cage was teaching Experimental Composition at New York City’s New School. Eight years beyond 4:33, he was (as our smoking MC informs us) the most controversial figure in the musical world at that time. His first performance on national television was originally scored to include five radios, but a union dispute on the CBS set prevented any of the radios from being plugged in to the wall. Cage gleefully smacks and tosses the radios instead of turning them on and off.
While treating Cage as something of a freak, the show also treats him fairly reverentially, cancelling the regular game show format to allow Cage the chance to perform his entire piece. “
Song of Seikilos
Joshua Sellers, lyre and voice
2,000 year old music: This is a video of me in 2009 playing a lyre somewhat close in sound to the ancient Greek kithera.
The music here is the oldest surviving complete musical composition, known today as the ‘Song of Seikilos.’ The text and music notation were engraved on a Greek tombstone in ancient Ephesus (in modern-day Turkey).
A translation of the song:As long as you live, shine.
Let nothing grieve you beyond measure,
for life is short
and time will claim its toll.I don’t know ancient Greek, though I can read it. A good friend of mine, a Greek Orthodox priest, gave me some lessons in Koinos Greek years ago which unfortunately I never completed.
The arrangement of the piece is mine.
