See if she likes the Philip Glass version of Icct Hedral, that's pretty orchestral. What about those afx songs done with "proper" instruments, 'alarm will sound' or something or other isn't it?
You have to use familiar sounds with unfamiliar melodies and what not.
Once she's gotten over that, start to ease in some subtle electronics. Maybe something with a theremin and lovely synth wash. I'd say some Tangerine Dream and Vangelis mixed with some Mike Oldfield and add a few golden oldies like Bach's Toccata and Fugue, Ravel's Bolero and what ever else you can think of.
If you pile straight in with beat influenced music she won't like it at all. Ambient music as a background sound is great to seep into people's brains. The number of times I've heard mellow afx on the telly is considerably more than I've heard AE beatz.
Saying that, I would love to know what happens if you play some of that "Rossig...." VS album, you know the violin(?) and wikkid beatz tracks. You know the ones.

Aaah, cello players. It took very little effort from a specimen of this peculiar animal to break my heart one year ago. There is something about the instrument, the music written for it, how concentrated they are during playing that makes you think that they have some deeper knowledge of the sadness of things and your concealed feelings. An illusion my friend though they might have a nice refined taste in music, which is why you're not going to impress her with anything electronic and electronic related, ESPECIALLY Alarm Will Sound (their workmanship sounds extremely sloppy).
You might want to play some classical influenced ambient/something like Deaf Center in the background, but some Bill Evans or "Romances for Saxophone" by Branford Marsalis
should work much much better. What's the use of impressing her with music anyway? Spend some time together, show what a good person you are. Do not wash that day, smear her with your musk. Hand her a towel, if she chooses not to use it, she is yours. Drag her into your lodge.

thanks for your responses, i really do appreciate your honesty and suggestions. i have been single for a long time, so i have a chance now with this girl i think. the fact that she is hard to please makes me want to even more, you know what it's like, basic psychology...
I am certainly going to look up some of your recommendations, we are going to scotland for xmas, southern highlands, near fort william which is where brave heart was filmed, just for your information :P
I think i should humble myself and admit that she has a greater understanding than me about music, it may hurt my ego, but i have to just let go...

if ur coming up this way can u bring me a waffle please?
i dont know much about the musics but i reckon it sounds like she likes what she likes and you like what you like, maybe you should both choose a genre neither of you are amazingly familliar with and go on the voyage of a new sound together, u may even find the track for ur first dance... maybe try some folk musics?

Learn how to play something with your dick. She will then surely deep throat you and then maybe she will let you stick it up her poop shoot.
: )
Or, don't fucking worry about it. Most people are cunts why let them get one up on you or make you feel bad about yourself.

larn, there's nothing magical about playing the cello. just because she does that doesnt mean shes not 'stupid' regarding music.
classical music folks can have a tendency to get elitist about their music, calling it art music or serious music, and will miss a lot of other good music like electronic.
im not saying shes like this, but dude, its a fucking cello.
its going to be playing the same notes as a synthesizer, they are tools for emitting emotion, dont let the atmosphere and aesthetic of either instrument cloud your judgment of what music is REALLY about.

How is it elitist referring to art music as art music? That is what it is.
"Classical music" makes me think "music of the classical period" just like "baroque music" makes me think "music of the baroque period."
I've heard cello players that preformed at such a level of excellence that "magical" is barely sufficient a description.

because i think the word art shouldnt be reserved to one type of music.
judging what art is should be a subjective venture of the listener, and to have a thing called 'art music' would imply that other types of music is, at the least, no as 'arty'
reserving the word art in such a manner is not right..
while i can understand your cello example, maybe you can understand that a pumping repetitious synth song can also be magical, and artistic.
it all depends on where you're coming from.
i would rather have it be called 'technically advanced music' or otherwise, to constitute the physical attributes of the song, rather than a subjective term like art.

we forget how abstract the music is that we listen to, i'd say it's specialist music, in each record store there is a little corner devoted to it, which is mostly unoccupied. But i agree that electronic music should get allot of artistic merit, but i don't think it can get as much merit as classical music, because it's not as pure, and it comes from the digital age of modern times; fastfood, mtv, lots of plastic and complex neurosis...
But i think that electronic music composers do need some recognition, and i only hope i can get her to appreciate this art form..
thank you

Put in the context of music history, IDM really isn't a difficult music.
I've worked with a lot of classical musicians and many of them don't know much. To some of them performing is just a career. Beethoven is magical, Machaut is magical, Gould is magical, Scelsi is magical but a portion of these classical musicians aren't magical. Credit where it's due.

its abstract to most people, and definately "sounding strange" to people who use classical instruments. also many people i met just dont like beats in general.
