Thanks!
Just a side note:
Unless you have a Primium at Rapidshare (then it's understood) - you should consider switching uploads to Megaupoad.com
Non-Primium links live there longer than at Rapidshare.. - and, as of late, it downloads way faster from Mega.. (than from Rapid..)
Cuz not that long ago (couple of weeks ago or so) - Rapidshare changed things around.. and currently downloads around 8 - 10 times slower than it used to (before this recent restructure) .. for Non-Premium users anyhow..
They reduced the d/l speed from around 500-600 kb/sec .. to around 50-80 kb/sec..
So if have to d/l lots from Rapid.. - it's a real torture as of late..
Meanwhile Megaupload still rocking!
Nice, fast and smooth!
Currently anyhow - it is definatly rocking Rapidshare!

Thanks for this fantastic post.
For this post I have signed up for a short time premium account. (paybyphone)
Yes, a free account is now slow, but before that you must wait more than an hour before you could start you second download. And with 18 downloads...)
By anonymous user, # 27. July 2008, 11:39:58
I've got to see what how the Traffic Share (free traffic they say) works but I might use it in the future for post as massive as this one.
By STEFANfromPARIS, # 27. July 2008, 14:02:52
This is excellent stuff. Thanks a lot for sharing... I need to see them live!
By anonymous user, # 27. July 2008, 14:38:16
Hey .. i am not complaining.. - i suggested an alternative ONLY .. in case the blog owner did NOT have a premium at Rapid..
(if he has a premium there .. then, and at the very least, - the links should remain alive - as long as he maintains his Premium..
And that's one of most important thinks - for the links to live long long long time, and hopefully forever
Like it's no problem - i already d/led the movie.. and couple of parts from albums (then went to sleep) .. now i ll get some more!
Thanks for Zorn btw.. and other Jewish album (again).. - it's "me" again
---
as to "Yes, a free account is now slow, but before that you must wait more than an hour before you could start you second download. And with 18 downloads..."
I didn't have to wait an hour or 2, etc to d/l after each file before.. - as i have a dynamic ip, .. and if one has "one" - there is a way to bypass "the wait"
So ..at "full speed" d/ls - Rapid.. was a bomn..
still OK .. just slower.. but 50 - 80 kb/sec is better than nothing if you want something
Thanks again!

Merci beaucoup Stefan pour toutes ces pépites !
L'émission du Nancy Jazz Pulsation, je l'avais déjà (un ami me l'ayant gravé lors d'une rediffusion sur Mezzo, il y a 2 ou 3 ans).
C'est surtout les concerts à la Cité de la Musique qui m'ont fait sortir de mon siège.
J'ai assisté moi-même aux excellents concerts du 25/06 (Essential Cinema) et du 26/06 (Masada à la salle Pleyel).
Le film de Maya Deren, mis en musique par John Zorn, a été un moment fort. Cela a éété une découverte totale. J'ai trouvé sur la toile ce film en diffusion (petite résolution...))http://www.videoartworld.com/beta/artist_1769.html mais avec une musique free .
Je te suis reconnaissant pour la mise à disposition des concerts du 23, 24 et 27/06. J'étais frustré de ne pas y avoir été. Je le suis un peu moins désormais.
Peux-tu donner quelques détails techniques sur tes enregistrements audio ? Enregistreur numérique Edirol ?
By anonymous user, # 30. July 2008, 10:16:04
J'étais moi-même présent pour la semaine complète, mettre à disposition ces enregistrements est donc une sorte de commémoration de l'évènement...
Et merci pour le lien du film... J'y vais de ce pas !
By STEFANfromPARIS, # 30. July 2008, 12:43:26
J'y aurais participé avec plaisir, mais je suis en ce moment en Allemagne (avec une plage juste).
Salut,
Carolina @ Issy

Rien à voir mais tu signes Carolina@Issy, tu es d'Issy les Moulineaux ?
By STEFANfromPARIS, # 2. August 2008, 18:00:30
Carolina.

Thank amigo, gracias por esto, saludos
By anonymous user, # 5. August 2008, 11:20:21
Thanks a lot - Mille mercis !
J'ai raté avec regrets cette semaine parisienne, mais j'ai eu le plaisir d'être à Marciac pour la soirée Zorn de lundi dernier. 3 parties avec Uri Caine solo plays Masada (le génial CD Moloch), le String Trio et, pour la 1e fois en concert le "Masada Sextet", à savoir l'Acoustic Masada + Uri Caine + Cyro Baptista.
Très très belle soirée que j'ai enregistrée sur MD. Je les mettrais sûrement en partage sur BitTorrent à la rentrée.
By anonymous user, # 7. August 2008, 15:28:34
Tu seras de la soirée Tzadik hommage à Serge Gainsbourg en février ?
By STEFANfromPARIS, # 7. August 2008, 15:40:26
Wow oh wow! Incredible Post Stefan!
By anonymous user, # 10. August 2008, 03:20:55
Hello Stefan,
I'm very glad I've found your blog. And we have a similar taste of music.
John Zorn is my all time favorite musician.
1k thanks for your work and for sharing musical masterpieces.
Salut
G

Feel free to share music, new discoveries are always welcomed here!

Je reconnais mes modestes enregistrements des 3 premières brillantes soirées; je les avais initiallement diffusées sur Dimeadozen.org
By anonymous user, # 17. August 2008, 09:06:23
Comme tu peux le voir, j'ai fait des pochettes pour que tout soit impeccablement propre pour ceux qui souhaiterait les graver...
J'étais moi-même à tous les concerts de cette semaine d'anthologie et je voulais faire partager mon bonheur d'avoir assisté à de si beaux moments. J'espère que tu n'as pas de problèmes avec ça...
Et bravo pour les enregistrements ! Belle qualité pour du son "audience"...
By STEFANfromPARIS, # 17. August 2008, 09:11:50
pas problème, bien au contraire (ça serait le comble)
juste un peu déçu que ce ne soit pas une autre source, j'aurais bien aimé trouver Hath Arob entier.
Une vidéo du concert de Painkiller circule aussi sur Diemadozen. Qualité moyenne à tout point de vue
Renaud
By anonymous user, # 17. August 2008, 22:45:26
Par ailleurs, j'attends qu'on me passe le boot de Marciac que je posterai ici si il est de la même qualité que tes enregistrements.
@+ Renaud !
