The Shape of Medieval Music to Come
Early Music for Late Humanity

https://voxvulgaris.bandcamp.com/album/early-music-for-late-humanity
When I lived in Istanbul in my early twenties I went to the market and got the cheapest electrical water heater for my shower. It used to give me electrical shocks so I had to use a towel to turn it on and off. I always assumed that the "eels" were a bug and not a feature.

Some things, like trying to talk to deer, are timeless endeavours.

Man kunde tom argumentera för att det allmänna inte alls ska bekosta forskning som ger ekonomisk vinning, det kan väl marknaden sköta själv?

Hela Europa hade hästkult och typ hela världen förutom anglosaxer äter det idag. Ibland hör man att deras tabu beror på ett påvligt förbud från 700-talet men de verkar också ha ätit hästkött fram till 1900-talet. Kan bero på tidig mekanisering + stor kulturell makt hos adeln

Enligt en advokat jag pratade med brukade polisen tidigare anmäla för våld mot tjänsteman men då hamnar straffvärdet över den gräns där man har rätt till juridiskt biträde vilket man nog tyckte var opraktiskt så nu skriver man våldsamt motstånd istället.

I think the name is still quite fun in ancient Greek pronunciation. There's a short and a long o after each other and the first one has a rising pitch accent (think of Chinese) so it's pronounced "Bo^oops." maybe it could be argued it should have three os? That would also be fun.
December 12, 2024 at 8:25 AM
Yes the os are distinct but the name comes from Ancient Greek, not modern, so the β is still "b," not "v".

The liner notes to "Music for the Children of Gothenburg" tells the story of our early years, from the first meeting in a jail exercise yard. It also talks about originality, composition, tradition and how the limitations of instruments influence these.

Ännu bättre med "tyckte ba tishan var skön, känn så mjuk!" då har man liksom inte gett dem någonting alls, inte ens att de har snygga tishor

Ooh but who of you have the best echo chamber?

Also: I just realised you are three buildings talking to each other, are you the "echo chamber"?

This is the consequence of all that "archaeologists don't study dinosaurs"

For anybody interested in learning more about us and our ideas about music and the Middle Ages, the best place to start is bandcamp. The liner notes to our first album, "The Shape of Medieval Music to Come" pretty much reads as a manifesto. voxvulgaris.bandcamp.com/album/the-sh...

The same year the album with Rokatanc came out. A good year for Hungarian-Swedish relations.

Are you making fun of northeners now?
December 8, 2024 at 11:42 PM
I'm surprised it is known outside Sweden at all
December 8, 2024 at 11:40 PM
Haha this quote from there was better: "Often folk music is just born out of the instrument and its limitations and if you strip away all the syncopations and arrangements Rokatanc is mostly just what happens when you do some QWERTY and a little bit of ASDFGH on a bagpipe."

We write a bit about it in the album text above: "did they hear another Rokatanc, or were they just very bad at learning songs? Too drunk to learn it proper and too stiff to sound like Hungarians? How many songs are not just musicians trying and failing to remember something they have heard anyway?"
December 8, 2024 at 11:33 PM
Yeah that's funny because we half assedly learnt that song of some Hungarian album as teenagers but got it a bit wrong and stiffened up the rhythm a bit. Now there are like a dozen Hungarian and Romanian bands playing our version on YouTube.

We watched a lot of Swedish film and this was the one she hated, I felt really confused about her reaction, especially since I had seen it first time as a child so I had very little distance to it
