Purple Flash Orchestra - Purple Flash OrchestraThere were seven major dancing memoirs in the twentieth century. "Watusi is What You Get," by Tyler Tarski was perhaps the most prominent and most popular. In his memoir, Tarski delved into what he called the mathematical foundations of dance, "the logical possibilities of rhythm instantiated in a human." For every person, Tarski hypothesized, there is an ideal style of dance; for every dance can be quantified based on frequency of movement, degree of torque, and class of robustness, and beyond that it is a simple matter of measuring the person and matching them to the right dance. If need be, Tarski argued, new dances can be tailored to match the person--why build dances around music when people are the ones doing the dancing, not the music? (see Tarski, pg. 212) For a short while, Tarski's philosophies were actually put into practice, which is why today we have such dances as the Riveter, the Syracuse Sadsack, the Bon-bonniere, and the Creep-Crazy Creeper.[BUY Morgan Geist's UNCLASSICS mix]
