Subject: Big fat media files for downloading.

I was surfing the web when I stumbled on these two
items. I thought they might be of interest to some of
the list subscribers. The first is a 2-min-33-sec,
26.3MB video clip of a couple dancing to "Toca Tango."
The description says: UofM Argentine Tango Club Fall
2004 showcase. The URL is
<ftp://ia108618.us.archive.org/2/items/TT11avi/TT11.avi>.
The video clip is viewable in MS Windows Media
Player.

The second is a two-part interview with Astor
Piazzolla. The files are NOT playable on MS Windows
Media Player. They are playable in WinAmp and in
RealPlayer. The first part is about 35 minutes long,
and the second part is about 45 minutes long. There's
a "lo-fi" version and a "hi-fi" version. The
description reads:

"Composer Astor Piazzolla interviewed by Charles
Amirkhanian at the Exploratorium's Speaking of Music
Series in San Francisco, May 11, 1989.

"In this program, Astor Piazzolla reveals the history
of tango, it's derivation from the milonga, the
development of the accordion-like bandoneon, and
pivotal points in his own compositional career,
importantly how he changed traditional tango to Nuevo
Tango following his dismissal by teacher Nadia
Boulanger in Paris. Piazzolla reveals the influences
that jazz artists, such as Dizzie Gillespie and Gill
Evans, had on his music. There are some examples of
Piazzolla's music on the first program: Tres minutos
con la realidad from 1954 and Milonga loca from 1987.
In the second program, a selection from his Bandoneon
Concerto is heard and a collaboration with Gary Burton
is presented. Throughout the program, questions and
answers are both revealing and entertaining."
