		<description><![CDATA[What influence did exotica have on art music? If you can see this, then you might need a Flash Player upgrade or you need to install Flash Player if it's missing. Get Flash Player from Adobe. &#8220;Poeme Electronique&#8221; was the world&#8217;s first multimedia installation piece.

		<description><![CDATA[The question at the heart of the debate of Exotica vs. The Other is finally voiced. Thankfully it comes from someone who knows jazz, Hawaii, and exotica. Nate Chinen, an esteemed jazz critic, known for his writings for the New York Times, JazzTimes, and Village Voice asks, &#8220;was Exotica a species of Hawaiian music&#8221; and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ever since I got into studying Exotica, Les Baxter has always been a huge inspiration. I&#8217;ve written about this man&#8217;s music, approach to orchestration, and influence on Exotica in previous posts, so check them out (if you haven&#8217;t already) to get a feel for what I&#8217;m talking about.
