Ok. I'll be the best person there

Shaney was the best person to talk to me at least.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

That wasn't classical music at all

Did you like like it? I ran to catch a Bride's Glen Luas so couldn't say bye. Felt a bit scanty about running off on you.

Yeah. I enjoyed it. I dozed off almost immediately which was nice. I'm not a huge fan of that kinda music really.

Oh well, at least you took a punt on it (and know to think twice about any of my recommendations in future). I thought it was great.

That gig is on my birthday. I should become a fan and then get really excited about someone I like playing on my birthday.

really great doc on bbc4 tonight, 'tones, drones & arpeggios: the magic of minimalism' presented by the ever-reliable charles hazelwood. repeated at 3am if you missed it. part 2 of 2 next friday. focused on and interviewed both lamonte young (first time ever on bbc) and terry riley, with contributions from kyle gann, adrian utley (including recreations of early minimalist phase and time-lag pieces).

Will sort you out later or tomorrow.

I was planning a big post-Young minimalism post about Conrad, Yoshi Wada, Pauline Oliveros, Niblock, etc.

no pressure, but how are these coming together?!

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

Good thing there’s no pressure but they’re not coming along. Although I have this week off so maybe...

part 2 last night which i forgot about until 9.59 and only saw the end credits. took a nap and watched it at 3am. well worth getting up for. focus on the new york minimalism of reich and glass this time. enjoyed the interview with glass, and nico muhly's contributions, but the highlights were the hazelwood ensemble footage, particularly when they broke down elements of e.g. reich's 'variations for winds, strings and keyboards'. for a non-musician like me it's fascinating to hear the individual instruments and melodies are how they're combined, and hazelwood's engaging presentation was never didactic.

pity there isn't a part 3 on the 2nd and 3rd generation minimalists and more on the legacy of the forerunners. still, quality t.v. from start to finish.

cheers for the heads up on this, watched the first episode earlier. Quality. looking forward to the second later on

Or even all the women also composing and working at the same time. Pauline Oliveros got a brief mention in part one but they could have done better than that.

agreed, though laurie spiegel got a look in in part 2. from memory, alan light's minimalism top 30 was (almost?) devoid of women.

well
