Phillip Glass news:

I have been reliably informed, though I can't reveal who
by, that, apparently, Phillip Glass wil be:

creating a "minimalist acid composition" just
using the TB-303 & TR-808.


Well I for one am shocked. I can't wait to hear the results
though.
I wonder what made him think of doing it.

it will probably sound the same as most of Glass' work does
sound the same.

P.S. Doesn't Plastikman already do pretty much the same
thing? And he has been doing it for ages now.

He is. He is a genius when it comes to those x0x
machines...and he has just among the deepest understandings
of techno that I've ever known.

Sorry but Steve Reich totally blows Glass away every time...

And Terry Riley blows Steve Reich away...

This sounds mint, it may be true- Phillip Glass'
compositions are loosely related to minimal electronica in
style, perhaps he has just had enough of traditional
instruments?

I reckon it'll be a more melodic version of the sort of
thing that Richie Hawtin does...

the new movie "Naqoyatsi" is also out now. its part 3 of a
trilogy of documentations on artistic meltdown of music and
pictures.
this parts theme is the destruction of nature by technology
and the source of the urge of mankind to make war.
music (all parts) is by phillip glass.

(from a local newspaper)

anybody seen one of those?

Giginger, any news on if he'll be DSP/fxing those machines
or just using the sounds in their rawest form?

I assumed, as it wasn't mentioned otherwise, that it'll be
raw form. Probably a "natural" acid sound :D
I'll probe my source and see what they say. It's quite rare
that they give me any info though.

riley and reich are awesome, i dont care for glass's stuff
much but it has its moments.

wow! the first track from Satyagraha is amazing...I'm
listening to it right now

Philip Glass is brilliant at times, not too bad at other
times...

im also a fan of philip glass particularly the somewhat
insane "music in twelve parts" which rarely changes in its
3.5 hours albeit small subtle changes, surely his best
work?

and steve reichs early work, including 'come out' and 'its
gonna rain' using tapes loops can only best be described as
essential listening for anybody who takes music seriously.

i can also recommend 'la monte young', a rather more bizarre
minimalist composer who's compositions do not exist in
recorded format but who's performances include swinging a
microphone over a burning fire, and another where he just
sits there, turns the microphone on the audience, then when
nothing happens for an hour to tell them that the noises
they have made in the time he allowed were in fact the
composition!

that la monte young audience composition sounds like a John
Cage ripoff to me.

4'33

cage sat a piano and played nothing. He said it was all the
sounds that where happening, from all around, was the music.

i never heard 'la monte young', but will keep it in mind to
do so.

fair point but i think the difference in cage's work is that
cage is more of an abstract artist who's work tends towards
the performance rather than sound. la monte young seems more
focused on genuine sound.

good that someone brought up la monte young, i forgot to
mention him too, good stuff, i usually associate him more
with riley and reich but cage is similar too i suppose.

(not sure of the spelling there) and i've heard really GREAT
things about both. i have Koyaamsqatsi on CD =0)
