Your Mother Should Know – Bass Only

Your Mother Should Know” is a song by The Beatles from their 1967 record Magical Mystery Tour. It was written by Paul McCartney.
The song was recorded in three sessions on 22 August, 16 September, and 29 September 1967. The remake from 16 September was left unused, and overdubs layered on the best take from 22 August. Mixing did not go any more smoothy, with sessions on 29 September, 30 September and 7 November 1967. The 22 August session took place at Chappell Recording Studios because Abbey Road Studios was unavailable that night. The remaining sessions were all at Abbey Road. It was during the Chappell Studio sessions that manager Brian Epstein made his last visit to a Beatles recording session before his death.

Here is the bass only track by Paul McCartney…

Meredith Monk

This clip is from the 1983 film – Four American Comoposers “Meredith Monk.” Directed by Peter Greenaway.

Meredith Monk (born November 20, 1942 in New York City) is an American composer, performer, director, vocalist, filmmaker, and choreographer. Since the 1960s, Monk has created multi-disciplinary works which dwell in the spaces between music, theatre, and dance. She is primarily known for her vocal innovations, including a wide range of extended techniques, which she first developed in her solo performances prior to forming her own ensemble.

“I work in between the cracks, where the voice starts dancing, where the body starts singing, where theater becomes cinema.” – Meredith Monk

I am a huge fan of documentary photography and when it is paired with an artful eye it can be the most powerful of all the mediums. Very seldom do I make editorial statements regarding other artist on this blog. It’s usually more about posting work that moves me followed up with factual information, but Stephanie’s work touches me in a unique way. Some people just have the gift. I had a hard time choosing the right image to post as a highlight to her work. I went with an image from the iPhone series she calls iphoneography. Her body of work is diverse and it’s power is consistency. The compositions are gorgeous. She has the eye of a painter and the viewfinder is her canvas. I find the images to be emotionally rich and extremely moving…
Take a look, decide for yourself.
