I've felt a sudden urge in the last few weeks to add some music in a similiar vien to track 1 from Eno's Music for Airports. Any suggestions? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Pearl, an album by Harold Budd and Brian Eno. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ambient 2: The Plateaux of Mirror also by eno and budd is pretty damn good too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i love that, thats the sort of stuff i'm after. is eno the ultimate contemporary pianist? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can play chopsticks with my penis. Involves a hard to do tucking technique. I could record it if you want. Might make the list |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no. listen to Phillip Glass' Circles, performed by Arturo Stalteri. it is a true work of beauty |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Harold Budd is the pianist on those albums -- so you'd be best suited by searching out his solo albums. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
FAO: xlt : - please no philip glass jokes or snide comments. they are all so predictable |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Penis avatars are also rather predictable. And they're rather shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And what? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And nothing actually. Do you work in a chinese take away? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
um no, why? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry to disrupt your argument, but thanks for the suggestions people |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey, this is xlt, you know |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah full of dicks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ho ho ho |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nothing funny. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this is going nowhere |

aww crap i tried to make it look like a lady, but the pixels on the lines must be too thin |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh yeah! I see the cute little nose and mouth now. Very shit arms. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i must admit the arms were the weakest part, followed by the hair. the mouth area worked well though. i can't say i'm going to make a 2nd effort at it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, but is a penis playing chopsticks involving a tucking technique predictable? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So the lady is a dickhead right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Much better second attempt, curbcreeper. |
||||||||
|
|

Back on topic, Avril 14th is the best piano work I've heard... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
gonzales -piano solo is also very nice imo. you should check it out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
For classical piano music nothing beats Liszt or Bartok. But for more funky stuff but still not detracting from the classical air I'd go for some JMJ, The Synth King. Oh and the must have is the first track in Royksopp's new album, it's the sheer pinnacle of musical beauty. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
gonzales is a nice suggestion, thanks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll check them out... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also check out "Leszek Mozdzer - piano" not really like gonzales. a bit more complex but nice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you won't be dissapointed, especially with Royksopp's. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Liszt is a bit showy for me -- too much style over substance in general. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You can't detract from the masterpiece that is Hungarian Raphsody number 2 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Gonzales is the best piano album I've heard. Just amazing. And finally I got a copy of it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm certainly not denying he has nice pieces, but he's hardly like Brian Eno and Harold Budd -- in fact, he is the antithesis with all his flourishes and glitz. I would have recommended Chopin or Satie for a classical composer more akin to the minimalism of Budd and Eno. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've never been able to like Chopin, I don't know, somthing about his music is way too sweet :S. Never heard of Satie. On the topic of great composers, Rossini should be mentioned as should also the famous 4 Russians. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Chopin is certainly not sweet - however did you garner that impression? His work is profoundly tinged with the tragedies in his and of his life. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not sweet as you would describe a person, more of as in a sense of smell. I don't know if you have ever gone into a solvent store but there is usually a heavy intoxicating smell that to me is overpowering. That's how I meant it, i wasn't talking about the symbolism behind the music, I was talking about the music in itself as an object. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Favorite pianist that I've listened to so far would be Debussy. But in the vein of Eno's Ambient1, I would suggest Erik Satie, sometimes called the grandfather of ambient music. get Satie's Gnossiennes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I knew that's what you meant, Xeron. I wasn't suggesting you were comparing him to Mozart. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well how does his life come into play, unles it is symbolism behind the music? -His work is profoundly tinged with the tragedies in his and of his life. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You cannot separate the music from the composer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you can, sombody who has never heard of Chopin judges him by the music alone. By your way of thinking we have to judge Apex along with his music, You can like the music but not have a high opinion of the man himself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Until music is composed automatically by robots or computers, then music cannot be severed from the person who composed it. And yes, I do not separate RDJ from his music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You obviously haven't heard of Kraftwerk, halfmen-halfmachines. Anyway, what I mean how can that person know anything about the tragedies that "touched" Chopin's music? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
How many piano works have you heard then, 8? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Erik Satie, sometimes called the grandfather of ambient music." Ha ha oh dear. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
rachmaninov - trio elegiaque nr 1 & 2. and his piano concertos. i agree with map on satie's gnossiennes. also: grieg - lyric pieces. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks for the suggestions people |
