N/um Tchai, from the album Bon Odori In Ju/’hoansi, one of the best-documented San groups, the N/um Tchai ceremonial dance translates to Tchai which means gathering to dance and sing and N/um refers to the supernatural potency or “medicine” energy that healers activate. During the dance, women clap and sing power songs (some named after rain, giraffe, honey, etc.), while men dance in a circle around a fire until they enter a trance. Shamans then “travel” to the spirit world to capture or control a mythical rain animal (often an eland-like creature or “rain-bull”), whose blood/milk becomes rain. This is vividly shown in ancient San rock art across southern Africa.

僕の小さなジャズ #chill

"Hurt" is not an original by Johnny Cash. The song was written by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) in 1994 for the album The Downward Spiral. Rick Rubin had to insist several times on Cash recording his version, at first Johnny found the idea completely insane because the original version is industrial and noisy. At 71, already very ill, almost blind and with trembling hands, Cash completely transformed the band. The iconic video, directed by Mark Romanek, was filmed at the House of Cash (his own museum). June Carter Cash appears looking at him fondly, the video was shot in February 2003, a few months before she died (May) and Johnny himself (September). Trent Reznor was so moved that he declared, "This song is not mine anymore." It is considered one of the best covers of all time.

A stroll through Big Time’s stock presets. Notice how the echoes carry between presets, morphing and distorting as you move from place to place. It’s one big, interconnected system.
