See if she likes the Philip Glass version of Icct Hedral,
that's pretty orchestral. What about those afx songs done
with "proper" instruments, 'alarm will sound' or something
or other isn't it?

You have to use familiar sounds with unfamiliar melodies and
what not.
Once she's gotten over that, start to ease in some subtle
electronics. Maybe something with a theremin and lovely
synth wash. I'd say some Tangerine Dream and Vangelis mixed
with some Mike Oldfield and add a few golden oldies like
Bach's Toccata and Fugue, Ravel's Bolero and what ever else
you can think of.

If you pile straight in with beat influenced music she won't
like it at all. Ambient music as a background sound is great
to seep into people's brains. The number of times I've heard
mellow afx on the telly is considerably more than I've heard
AE beatz.

Saying that, I would love to know what happens if you play
some of that "Rossig...." VS album, you know the violin(?)
and wikkid beatz tracks. You know the ones.

Aaah, cello players. It took very little effort from a
specimen of this peculiar animal to break my heart one year
ago. There is something about the instrument, the music
written for it, how concentrated they are during playing
that makes you think that they have some deeper knowledge of
the sadness of things and your concealed feelings. An
illusion my friend though they might have a nice refined
taste in music, which is why you're not going to impress her
with anything electronic and electronic related, ESPECIALLY
Alarm Will Sound (their workmanship sounds extremely
sloppy).
You might want to play some classical influenced
ambient/something like Deaf Center in the background, but
some Bill Evans or "Romances for Saxophone" by Branford
Marsalis
should work much much better.
What's the use of impressing her with music anyway? Spend
some time together, show what a good person you are. Do not
wash that day, smear her with your musk. Hand her a towel,
if she chooses not to use it, she is yours. Drag her into
your lodge.

thanks for your responses, i really do appreciate your
honesty and suggestions. i have been single for a long time,
so i have a chance now with this girl i think. the fact that
she is hard to please makes me want to even more, you know
what it's like, basic psychology...

I am certainly going to look up some of your
recommendations, we are going to scotland for xmas, southern
highlands, near fort william which is where brave heart was
filmed, just for your information :P

I think i should humble myself and admit that she has a
greater understanding than me about music, it may hurt my
ego, but i have to just let go...

if ur coming up this way can u bring me a waffle please?

i dont know much about the musics but i reckon it sounds
like she likes what she likes and you like what you like,
maybe you should both choose a genre neither of you are
amazingly familliar with and go on the voyage of a new sound
together, u may even find the track for ur first dance...
maybe try some folk musics?

i think gingaling's idea is pretty good, maybe explore some
new music genre together, hmmm

thanks darkpromenade, i respect your suggestion fully

noseburger, I do want to sex her, but i wish for it to be
romantic and slow going ^0^

i have been friends with her for almost year, but just
recently we have sparked a more romantic interests in each
other, so...

gingaling, i have a feeling you have a different motive! i
think your trying to move in on my girl, you don't really
want a waffle, you want to come and impress her with your

holiday with her, with me out of the equation :(((

Learn how to play something with your dick. She will then
surely deep throat you and then maybe she will let you stick
it up her poop shoot.

: )

Or, don't fucking worry about it. Most people are cunts why
let them get one up on you or make you feel bad about
yourself.

im visting her today and im curious on her musical
taste, but shaggin and watching a movie will be just fine
.-)
but i also prepared some ambient cd for her which i am
offering to play to her whilst giving her a massage,
because she said she hasnt got anything calming like that.
it really fits the purpose and i know how to give some
proper massage...

if she didn't immediately drop to her knees and blow you

larn, there's nothing magical about playing the cello.
just because she does that doesnt mean shes not 'stupid'
regarding music.
classical music folks can have a tendency to get elitist
about their music, calling it art music or serious music,
and will miss a lot of other good music like electronic.

im not saying shes like this, but dude, its a fucking
cello.
its going to be playing the same notes as a synthesizer,
they are tools for emitting emotion, dont let the atmosphere
and aesthetic of either instrument cloud your judgment of
what music is REALLY about.

How is it elitist referring to art music as art music?
That is what it is.

"Classical music" makes me think "music of the classical
period" just like "baroque music" makes me think "music of
the baroque period."

I've heard cello players that preformed at such a level of
excellence that "magical" is barely sufficient a
description.

because i think the word art shouldnt be reserved to one
type of music.
judging what art is should be a subjective venture of the
listener, and to have a thing called 'art music' would imply
that other types of music is, at the least, no as 'arty'

reserving the word art in such a manner is not right..

while i can understand your cello example, maybe you can
understand that a pumping repetitious synth song can also be
magical, and artistic.
it all depends on where you're coming from.

i would rather have it be called 'technically advanced
music' or otherwise, to constitute the physical attributes
of the song, rather than a subjective term like art.

we forget how abstract the music is that we listen to, i'd
say it's specialist music, in each record store there is a
little corner devoted to it, which is mostly unoccupied. But
i agree that electronic music should get allot of artistic
merit, but i don't think it can get as much merit as
classical music, because it's not as pure, and it comes from
the digital age of modern times; fastfood, mtv, lots of
plastic and complex neurosis...

But i think that electronic music composers do need some
recognition, and i only hope i can get her to appreciate
this art form..

thank you

yes, my ex liked tycho aswell.

larn, yeah we tend to forget that.
and even the catchy, obviously beautyful songs in this
category often have slightly offending sounds or structures
to many ears...

Put in the context of music history, IDM really isn't a
difficult music.

I've worked with a lot of classical musicians and many of
them don't know much. To some of them performing is just a
career. Beethoven is magical, Machaut is magical, Gould is
magical, Scelsi is magical but a portion of these classical
musicians aren't magical. Credit where it's due.

its abstract to most people,
and definately "sounding strange" to people
who use classical instruments.
also many people i met just dont like beats in general.

anyway if it works out, just remember sampling real strings
can sound more lush sometimes than playing a pad on a
