idm - my gateway to classical music!

this 'internet dork music' actually gives huge heaps of ear
to a person! i have always liked some of classical composers
but nowadays they just make me head almost go boom.

i didn't even know classic could be this mindblowing :) i
believe it is due idm listening and the better understanding
of sound it has given me.

all in all, its 'teh c00lness'

*plays ravel and jumps happily*

It's not really IDM but Lamb got me in touch with Henryk
Górecki. Especialy his symphony nr 3 is worth checking out.

Some classical music is hard to get the head round it's so
amazing--Bach, Chopin and Beethoven spring to mind

I started listening to classical music as some kind of
reaction against the coldness and sterile aspects of
electronic music. It's as if every single note has more
meaning now because there's a real person totally
controlling the instrument. I still like electronic music
but I like classical music more now

I missed the warmth and human touch that came with all
non-electronic music. Sometimes it feels like Ive wandered
off in to some strange institution. Its nice to listen to
the raw din of acoustic instruments once in a while.

Neetta: what Gillespie album was it????

I like some classical music like Samuel
Barber,Bach,Chopin....but Beethoven and Mozart just make me
laugh,its so happy that it pisses me of.
I prefer orchestral music than piano jibberish.Although I do
like RDJ's piano tracks (Avril 14th ect.).
I think "IDM"(hate that term) lets the listener become more
open minded,and see things as they are..blah blah blah

Beethoven happy? Are you listening to the right Beethoven?

"but Beethoven and Mozart just make me laugh,its so happy
that it pisses me of"

hmmm, Beethoven has made some of the saddest music
available(first movement of moonlight sonata, stringquartet
13: Cavatino, the slow movement in symphony 3, etc)

Mozart is generally a composer of more lighthearted music
with some exceptions such as his famous Requiem

All the famous composers make both happy and sad music, just
look a bit further.

BTW, the combination electro-classical has already been done
in 1972. Just have a listen to the soundtrack of A Clockwork
Orange.

why not ? that's kind of piano pop ambiant songs.

Not ambiant in the strict sense of the term...

only thing i have is the five nocturnes by Erik Satie and i
like it enough...

but i think i'm too immature to appreciate classical
enough.
i can't perceive the depth or complexity in it (if it is to
look for in classical? i don't know, it depends from the
artists), nor enough emotion...

I like classical music but i think the IDM is better because
it evokes the unidentified emotions and in classical music
emotions are strictly defined like love, sadness, eufory...

i have been raised on classical and opera, and learnt piano
for i don't know how many years (more than 4, probably 6?)
when i was a child.

it didn't make me like it more, and maybe a contrario...
after i stopped it i hated piano until i listened to, the
piano pieces in drukQs and mostly, Coil tracks featuring
piano (Ether, Red Queen, Unprepared Piano... they're all
gorgeous).

It doesnt seem like it he would suit the taste of most
people, as an accesible artist. Imo :)

what's "accessible" or not is all relative, it depends from
which music you're already accustomed to...

chills of excitement

i credit aphex twin with getting me into satie, and from
there i went backwards and started to listen to lots of
"classical" music. so IDM is good for opening up your ears
to sound.
its also made me rethink some of my opinions on rap, as alot
of hip hop producers, like dr. dre and such, use beats that
have alot in common with IDM.

Yeah, The Rite Of Spring is mindblowing.

I *wish* a classically trained composer came and wooshed
everyone off their feet by combining some IDM style stuff
with some amazing orchestrations. I'm surprised that hasn't
happened yet!
