Author Topic: Who get's your Alembic, after you die? (Read 354 times)

I don't expect to split the scene any time soon, but it has often been a question in my mind; of the things I cherish most, my Alembic is of the top 5 relics I hold.

I still have not assigned. What qualities of a person would you honor, in giving your Alembic away as your very last last, rite of passage before entering the next life?

I thought of giving my Alembic to my High Scool Music Department as a Trophy of my respect or giving it to a charity related to music in some way... Any ideas?

the most simply and logic and familiy idea: to my sons. 2 Alembic, 2 sons, one for each.

This is a wonderful and beautiful thing Pierreyves.

It's naturally AND normal. My wife hate jazz....
Just the problem of the heavy weight of my MK5...
My son (the older, 19) is 198 cm (feet 6.49606, inches 77.9528) but this instrument is too heavy and big for him, he spoke.

thanks to this hip-hop generation/pushbutton music these days these kids dont deserve this beloved Relic of mine (old#12) so it's going on display back home to alembic!

Keavin, that was strong words. I applaud you for saying that...

When a person really starts to take time out and look back an the many blessings and the hard work it took to own something of real quality, and then knowing in the back of your mind, you will need to have your affairs in order and release those earthly things you cherish so much; can be a troubling question for some people.

I never understood the hip hop fad. I knew something was wrong when I first heard Rapper's Delight with Chic's Good Times samplings.

But at the same time, whatever it takes to better yourself from a poverty rich culture and glamorizing it, and getting paid on the hype is what it takes for some people to start other wonderful things. Hey, live and let live... My sins are mine, and their sins are theirs.

No different from a man who invents a cartoon mouse who gets people to spend billions every year.

No real human can exist in this idealized world. In places where music is only a back-drop, nothing can I get from it, for it was never the vision from their creators.

There is no way in hell, would I give my Alembic to anyone who supports music mediocre level.

CORRECTION-TYPE'O

There is no way in hell, would I give my Alembic to anyone who supports music at-the mediocre level.

What more good can I say about Alembic?

I had said enough about its greatness.

I wish Truth, Love, and Peace to everyone and those who offened me, I forgive; and I hope those whom I offened, forgive me.

This is my last post. You guys are wonderful!

I know where one of mine will go. The Red '91 Essence I used in Baghdad, better known as the Burkha King, will most likely go back to the mothership. I think it would be a neat thing to display (I'll include pictures to verify it was there) as the first (and hopefully not the last) Alembic in Iraq.

forget Iraq adjover...
what mean mothership ?

ajdover · « **Reply #13 on:** January 13, 2008, 02:47:42 PM »

Sorry, Pierre, kind of difficult to forget something I lived through. The Mothership refers to Alembic in Santa Rosa, CA.

Thank's Alan ... but what mean (I can't translate with Google) mothership ? Literally, in french is: m?re bateau ... why this word for a simple factory ?
