Topic: Incantatory

	Poetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Devices such as assonance, alliteration and rhythm are sometimes used to achieve musical or incantatory effects.
		The relatively steady meter and the use of the refrain produce an incantatory effect, which complements Sufi mystical themes well.
		Among the masters of the form is the Persian poet Rumi.

	Spellbound - www.theage.com.au
		There is something incantatory about the words that punctuate Spellbound, Jeffrey Blitz's utterly engaging, often moving documentary about an intensely competitive event, America's National Spelling Bee, in which 249 youthful finalists from all over the country converge on the capital for a one-mistake-and-you're-out challenge.
		But April, who has worn a dictionary to tatters with her constant study, is entirely self-taught: her mother and father look on in pleased bewilderment at what she's capable of.
		Beyond the incantatory wonder of the words that it dangles in front of its young participants, the Bee is an unforgiving event.

		SHORT DESCRIPTION: Jamaica Kincaid's incantatory, poetic, and often shockingly frank recounting of her brother's life and death is also the story of her family on the island of Antigua.
		In gently insistent, incantatory prose, she recounts their forced reunion, the complicated feelings his illness evokes, the pity and anger she feels for a life senselessly squandered, and her coming to love him as he lay dying.

		The first incantatory plaque from Arslan Tash contains an incantation to keep harmful night-time creatures from entering the house until the sun rises.
		From these two texts that portray the divine side of incantatory practice at Ugarit, we have several cultural precedents that are reflected in the AT1 plaque at least five centuries later.
		It is important to reiterate once more that these commonalities exist despite the fact that the genre of the Ugaritic texts differs from that of AT1, the former being a story about an incantatory situation, the latter being an actual incantation on a plaque that would have been used in the house of the owner.

		It consists largely of oral or literary works in which language is used in a manner that is felt by its user and audience to differ from ordinary prose.
		It may use condensed or compressed form to convey emotion or ideas to the reader's or listener's mind or ear; it may also use devices such as assonance and repetition to achieve musical or incantatory effects.
		Poems frequently rely for their effect on imagery, word association, and the musical qualities of the language used.

		Acoustic guitars have replaced the electronic effects of previous releases like Danse Manatee and Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished, captured live on three strategically placed mini-disc recorders (with field recordings added to two tracks at a later point).
		Though the sound is radically different from the digital processing and sound manipulation previously employed, the results are clearly of a piece with the percussive, almost incantatory feel of their earlier records.
		While these unorthodox recording conditions go against your traditional ideas of sound purity, the audible hum of the outdoors adds a real depth and presence impossible to achieve otherwise.

	Judy Grahn
		Grahn borrows many of their repetitive, incantatory techniques, but transmutes them to celebrate the energy common to women in their diverse work.
		Carruthers rightly observes the connection between Grahn's "repetitive, incantatory techniques" and the "traditions of Whitman, Ginsberg, cummings, with more than a little of Gertrude Stein," and notes how she "transmutes them to celebrate the energy common to women in their diverse work." I suggest that this transformation is also ideological.
		For listeners, the refrains and repetitions bring about a new relation to prejudice and violence, as they work to release us from the oppressions we use against each other and which continually divide us; and they enact a process of empathy and growth.

	Powell's Books - Concerning the Book That Is the Body of the Beloved by Gregory Orr

	Music-Atlas: Patty Smith biography, pictures and facts
		So Patti Smith described her music on the 1975 release of Horses, her celebrated debut album; and so she has continued to blend the spoken and sung arts in incantatory fashion with her latest work, Gone Again.
		Impossible to categorize, moving easily between the literary and musical worlds, always unpredictable and impassioned, she is an idiosyncratically unique performer who has always remained true to her artistic vision.
		It contained Patti's incantatory reworkings of rock classics like "Gloria" and "Land (Of A Thousand Dances)", more traditional song forms (the reggae "Redondo Beach," "Free Money"), and streams-of -unconscious poetry ("Birdland").

	Mongo Santamaria, MP3 Music Download at eMusic
		A Mongo Santamaria concert is a mesmerizing spectacle for both eyes and ears, and even in his seventies, this seemingly ageless Cuban percussionist/bandleader could energize packed behemoth arenas such as the Hollywood Bowl.
		A master conguero, Santamaria at his best creates an incantatory spell rooted in Cuban religious rituals, quietly seating himself before his congas and soloing with total command over the rhythmic spaces between the beats while his band pumps out an endless vamp (a potent example on records is the hypnotic "Mazacote" available on Afro-Roots [Prestige]).
		He has been hugely influential as a leader, running durable bands that combine the traditional charanga with jazz-oriented brass, wind, and piano solos, featuring such future notables as Chick Corea and Hubert Laws.

	Screwtape Proposes a Toast by C.S. Lewis
		Those who were aware of feeling it felt it with shame; those who were not gave it no quarter in others.
		Under the influence of this incantation those who are in any or every way inferior can labour more wholeheartedly and successfully than ever before to pull down everyone else to their own level.
		What I want to fix your attention on is the vast, overall movement towards the discrediting, and finally the elimination, of every kind of human excellence — moral, cultural, social, or intellectual.

	Salon \| Camille Paglia
		I was introduced to Ginsberg's masterpieces, "Howl" and "Kaddish," by a brilliant teacher, the poet Milton Kessler, whose fierily rabbinic recitations of those bardic lines are emblazoned in my psyche.
		Ginsberg's hallucinatory imagery, incantatory rhythms and jazz syncopations are the ultimate, operatic expression of 20th century sexual and political radicalism.
		I raptly studied and treasured the small, fl-and-white City Lights Books editions of the two poems as if they were sacred texts from the Jerusalem that was then avant-garde San Francisco.

		Yodeling, after all -- especially the Tyrolean lederhosen version -- is within easy earshot of biergarten oompah music -- jolly, mindless escapism -- hoist another stein.

		For my last radio show at WFMU I decided to tackle this mysterious vocal technique known as yodeling.

	Cul de Sac (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Cul de Sac is a Boston-based group of critically acclaimed practitioners of unusual instrumental music who draw inspiration from the incantatory rhythms of Indian ragas, the complexities of avant-garde folk finger-picking, the cerebral excesses of '70s prog, the bouncy reverb of surf rock, and the energy of experimental music.
		The history of Cul de Sac commenced in late 1990, when guitarist Glenn Jones convinced ex-The Girls multi-instrumentalist Robin Amos, filmmaker and neophyte bassist Chris Fujiwara (later replaced by Michael Bloom), and drummer Chris Guttmacher (later replaced by Jon Proudman), to join him in making weird but compelling noise tapestries.
