"Aphex Twin will perform his reworkings of Penderecki's “Polymorphia” and "Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima” , this will be the world premiere of both compositions"...does this mean it'll get released? have been checking it out on youtube - fucking scary sounding classical music in the same vein as robert normandeau Am excited. no doubt this will soon turn into bitter disappointment when it doesnt see the light of day. |

my favorite actors are Patrick Schwazie and Pamela Anderson, I would pay moneeey to touch Patrick Schwazie. but instead of Patrick, put RDJ. |

For me it was somewhat underwhelming. RDJ's first reinterpretation was done just by noiseing the recorded piece up and cutting it up a little bit. Maybe I didn't notice some other obvious maniputation, but I doubt that. It was properly intense though and definately wasn't just pure chaos. Then, after Penderecki finished conducting his second piece, Richard played two tracks from Drukqs (I think Kladfvgbung Micshk or Prep gwarlek 3b and another one, but I can't recall which). They were much longer than the album versions and sounded much dirtier, as if the remix was done using samples that were rerecorded from speakers multiple times. These two tracks were supposed to serve as a buildup to the Penderecki reinterpretation proper, probably allowing RDJ to prepare or plan instructions for the musicians (some of which left their instruments to serve as a 10-men choir). In this last piece Aphex directed this orchestra using several LCD screens showing 7 coloured dials and symbols. This was quite inventive and worked great (much better than Greenwood's overenthusiastic conducting, I think), but it seemed that Richard didn't know what to do with all this power and the last 4 or 5 minutes of this piece sounded as if he just felt like putting all the volume dials up and down again. I might be wrong though, it might have been exactly what he wanted, I rarely know with this kind of music. The day before I saw Tim Exile with no more than 200 people and that was proper fun. |

Could be, could be. My everyday approach to contemporary music is purely emotional. I never attempted to analyse it on any intellectual level, mostly because I lack any concrete musicological skills and partly because of my definitely shortened attention span. I love to be woken up by it on Polish Radio 2, because it gives me fascinating dreams during the last half hour of sleep before I drag my ass off the bed. I also love to fall asleep to Rehberg or Angel, but I never tried to decipher their ideas. I put up with the fact that I miss most of the fun. Now, you might wonder why I went to see a collaboration between Penderecki and anybody then. Well, I went to see Exile and it required no additional effort from me to get invitations to the main events, which cost literally nothing. Also, the actual emotional content of those pieces in original is just huge, which I didn't expect. Also, to my defense, about 25% of the audience really expected mad beatz mixed with cellos. That said, I'd really love to hear your thoughts on Aphex's reinterpretations, because I'll gladly back out of everything. Well, maybe except a couple of things. For example: just to explain my approach to the ending of Polymorphia Reloaded: when you hear a piece of music that slowly builds up it's emotional content to soaring heights , then carefully backs up almost to the baseline from which it started and suddenly explodes with all the voices and instruments cranked up to the maximum, does it sound powerful to you or cheap? I guarantee you that when you see all the sliders being pushed to the top hastily in a very human imperfect manner (on a huge screen above the scene) it breaks the spell and you suddenly see that it doesn't only seem to sound crude, but actually is quite crude. Especially, when soon after the slider goes to zero and back up again (twice I think). It actually is worse if the thing is performed as written (to think that it was partly improvised was rather silly of me...or maybe not). I really liked the rest of that piec |

Oh sorry, that wasn't Polymorphia Reloaded. I mean the piece in the middle part of the concert after the modified Drukqs tracks. |
