need to impress a female musician

i'm going on a trip with my friend, she is a pro cello
player/ musician, so you can imagine she looks down on
electronic music a little bit and thinks it's weird, i put
on autechre's new album and she freaked out a bit and i had
to turn it off because it upset her.

can you think of some electronic music which she might like?
something which has a more orchestral sound perhaps?

i'm not sure if the right cd is going to seal the deal. on
second thought try windmilling your cock to ride of the
valkyries.

what you've gotta do is shove your hand up her ass and pull
out the gigantic rod that was jammed up there years ago.

(read: get her stoned and try again.)

if you're looking for an orchestral sound that's bland and
inoffensive you could download some of cx's tracks.

in all seriousness i would actually recommend playing the
first disc of druqks. jywyhtnthtkwelwlkmam is enough of a
diffuser and vordhosbn has the crazy beats pairs perfectly
with the super pretty melodies. see if you can go from
there.

check out my new album, Close to You

I will probably just make a compilation cd, and find as many
nicer tracks as i can, not too challenging and perhaps she
might warm up to it

no. she doesn't sound like "the one" . . . but who was the
last person you fancied because of their ipod contents?

I think she needs to hear music which has more of a
structured framework which following certain rules,
electronic music breaks all of those rules and so she has a
hard time appreciating it . she was trained from young, so i
can sort of understand why it bothers her..

Why are you so intent on getting this woman into electronic
music?

It seems that she already has decent music taste if she
listens/plays art music.

Why don't you impress her by showing your familiarity with
art music? If you have any that is.

thanks wolfslice, i am taking notes...i actually do like
some orchestral music, but i am determined to get her to
like something synthetic, i must, it's my ego at stake for
christs sake, i make electronic music myself, so i feel
slightly down about this, because i fancy her

Usually if one "fancies" another they try to show they share
similar interests.

You're after her, right?

If so, go after her.

You already know that she listens/plays art music. Learn
about that music and impress her with your knowledge instead
of turning her off with music that she seemingly has no
interest in.

If you like her, you bring her flowers and not the other way
around.

yes i know what you mean, actually i did play some flute
music to her, like the track from el topo, I also bought a
flute and tried to impress her with it, but she just thought
i was being funny, when actually i have practiced all week
:((

why do we have to impress these bits of fluff?

anyway, i'm signing off, if anyone has some orchestral,
jazz, blues or any structured music that has heart, send it
here please

Why don't you just bring music that YOU enjoy and let HER
bring music she enjoys?

Try talking to her. Find something else to relate to her
with instead of bludgeoning her with music she doesn't like.


As a woman who has successfully wooed and have been wooed by
other women, I can honestly say that it has never happened
by someone forcing their interests on me.

Treat this girl right. She sounds special.

Put on the best album from 2008.

If you browse Boomkat for what they call "Modern Classical"
you will find a lot of good stuff that mix electronica and
classical music, and it might be some ear openers for both
of you. Search for names like: Hauschka, Elegi, Deaf Center,
Svarte Greiner, Hannu, Marsen Jules, Sylvain Chaveau.

i agree with the lesbien, you don't have to force music she
doesn't like down her throat. i've known a few classical
music snobs and they are stuck in their own little world
where anything non-traditionally made isn't worth listening
to. you won't break them.

don't try to impress her she'll see right through you. and
don't try to influence her, let her influence yo. this being
said, i recommend 'on the romance trip' by caustic window.
once upon a time i actually had a girlfriend and she wasn't
too keen on afx but one day this was playing and she was
like "ooh, this is nice". i immediately made love to her
then and there.

Depends on how crazy you are looking for. I would suggest
Ochre's new EP death of an aura to start. Maybe some
lemongrass (only the Filmotheque album.)

What about the that classical vsnares album?

Let me check some of my records when I get home, im kind of
out of it right now and drawing a blank.

doing a nice playlist for getting into electro is a special
hobby of me and i prepared one for my date tonite. then i
came to my mind and put it away and made a punkrock/ska
playlist instead we both could easily enjoy.

but either way, musical taste is really not for impressing
somebody its too personal, not measurable enough...

people in here have very different tastes already and we all
dig electro. so keep that crusading and converting for
later,
when the time is right.

how hard can it fucking be, make a set starting out slow and
then end up in what you want. why would you even play
autechre first? take her on a journey instead.

Rachels- Selenography

Can't find a site you can listen to it on, but I am pretty
sure your friend will like it. it is sort of listenable
contemporary classical music. A bit arty, too- she'll love
it! Oh, and it's and it does contain violin/cello music.

A sure fire way to introduce her to new music is by hosting
a music listening party:

Invite four or five friends round, be selective go for
people who have very different tastes.

Have them choose three tracks on different themes, ie.
1. A Cover Version
2. Movie soundtrack
3. The best song from the year of your birth

have three rounds of each theme, discuss, drink wine!
