Hope it sold. I have a pile of original GG vinyls myself. Listened to Pondhoppin, sounds very Advent of Panurge. Saw them at least 6 times and I'm very influenced by them myself. Who here isn't?

plays fine for me
I credit my girlfriend's breasts with getting us into PFMs trailer. I just followed her! I've always wondered why they thought they need a "front man" when their vocals were already so magical.
I saw them do Photos of Ghosts in Central Park circa 74. They were much better live than King Crimson was during that period. I got high with them in their trailer afterward, Pagani threw away my...
Here's a not so great performance of it.

Danceworks is the piece that got me into him. Forgot he studied with Louis Andriessen who is still going at age 80. I can't help including the lyrics to this LA piece because they show his playful...
Hey I love Steve Martland, used to have all his CDs, glad someone mentioned him. He believed that income and class shouldn't be a barrier to entering professional music and created workshops for low...
Too much of the 2nd generation stuff sounds like new age to me, who needs all this gone-to-heaven-music? Glass and Reich are now so commercialized they stock them at the Food Emporium near me, I...
This guy sent Philip Glass a cassette at age 17 and was flown to NY immediately. He writes massive operas for samplers and is now working in Germany. Interesting how he turns Glass's repetitions...
Oh yea Become Ocean is an experience. Reminds me of Mandala Symphony by Toshiro Mayazumi. I like BOC when they don't do their own music.
Anyone into these not dead composers?
Victoire is an all-female chamber ensemble playing works by Missy Mazzoli. Quite Canterbury / Henry Cow-like at times.

I can't read 100 best lists but I do hope Rodan was on it. This piece was a 90s dorm room classic and always reminded me of Larks Tongue Pt II.

i was saying Captain Beefheart's use of rhythm seems Stravinskian to me, in nature not sound, math rock is more severely linear and derives from post-rock and minimalism. Brubeck is mentioned in...
welcome. i didn't realize DFA's Chicago piece had been recorded, also interesting.

i still prefer Beefheart's use of polyrhythm, it's closer to...
The Additive and Subtractive Processes, Compounded Meters, and Beyond

no to the Beefheart influence (i forgot to quote you sorry). A lot of the punk preceding math rock was already getting rhythmically jagged. Big Black was a big influence. I've heard members of...
well TP is quite an accomplishment. Stringent!
Ginastera founded an institute of modern and electronic music in Buenos Aires in 1962. On April 30th NYC's Americas Society is having a concert of composers who were part of that institute. It's on...
Roberto Gallo, young composer from Chile. I told him this piece reminded me of Les Noces and he said he'd done his thesis on Les Noces. I have good ears!

I think Music for a Summer Evening is George Crumb's masterpiece, quite overwhelming and atavistic.

don't expect cuddles, he is obviously all about the mission.
Roman Polanski pursued by demon neighbors kills himself twice.

MJ, thanks, I like it when artists actually name their "inputs", here in NYC they tend to give you the eye-roll - how can I possibly be defined??
I hate bombast and that knocks Shostakovich,...
i think he responds to anyone who says PLAGUE. ha!
ah that's industrial strength sh*t. significant Henry Cow / Art Bears influence if I'm not tripping. i will dig into this.
I'd be curious what in the classical realm influences you.
The Canadian band Preoccupations is interesting and very successful (for all who think proggy music doesn't sell)

they used to be called Viet Cong

Maybe not new, I have an account so...
I'm looking to connect with musicians somewhat versed in 20th century classical, hopefully a bit deeper than the intro to Firebird haha. I'm talking Barber,...
