Ask Nilmar/Nakh

you pronouncing that bully?

maybe that question would be better addressed to milton parker

josé james seems pretty neat from a few things that they have on that youtube

it's not the sort of music i generally know much about

Best modern fusion of neo-classical and noise (though not that harsh) would have to be Venetian Snares iirc

venetian snares is some of the worst music literally of all time ever

No, it's not.

And apart from your judgement call, it does merge noise and classical music in a pretty unique way.

boulez and whiney isn't a bad comparison, but boulez started off in full kill yr idols mode before becoming more refined and bourgie

whiney seemed like a relatively peacable ilm poster before he joined ansar-al-rapgame and started throwing molotov cocktails around

nilmar has there ever been a successful fusion of classical (incl. modern classical) compositional techniques and harsh noise

Marianne Amacher?

amacher was brilliant

zbigniew karkowski studied with xenakis though ~classical compositional techniques~ are not immediately evident from the things i am familiar with most of which are harsh noise / power electronics

i have a kinda lol kinda sad story involving hanging out with him! (karkowski not xenakis)

boulez and whiney isn't a bad comparison, but boulez started off in full kill yr idols mode before becoming more refined and bourgie

Lol whut?!

Boulez was a perfect schoolboy, boy next door in the way he learned and got to form his own style. Boulez was delicate, dipping his toe into the hot waters of atonality, and his examples like Messiaen etc. Nothing 'kill yr idols' about it.

suggest you wikquote boulez

Not since Wagner had a composer played the bully to such effect. Boulez’s tactics were exuberantly brutal: he compared himself several times to the Bolsheviks and to the Chinese Red Guards. He placed Stravinsky in his neoclassical period at the head of the “useless.” He accused Schoenberg, after his death, of the “most ostentatious and obsolete romanticism.” Webern was “too simple.” Berg suffered from “bad taste,” Ravel from “affectation.” Twelve-tone music in its extant form was overrun by “number-fanatics” who engaged in “frenetic arithmetic masturbation.” Boulez’s teacher, Olivier Messiaen, produced “brothel music.” John Cage, who was at one time an ally of Boulez, became a “performing monkey,” and Karlheinz Stockhausen, likewise, a “hippie.” The American minimalists displayed a “supermarket aesthetic,” the American serialists had a “cashier’s point of view.” Brahms was a “bore,” Tchaikovsky “abominable,” Verdi “stupid, stupid, stupid!” And so on.

André Souris described young Boulez as a "little savage", "full of a sort of anonymous rage". ILX describes Whiney as

Bully in words, but in music, when he started out? Not so much.

But then this is not the Ask LBI thread....

Milton Parker was reading a book about Darmstadt at the party when he, geeta, and I were hanging with Shakey and his progeny

idk what bully in music would sound like? it's difficult to get that cockney rejects / gravediggaz sort of leering aggression using just a piano, anyway

i am intrigued by the idea of a music that combines pianos + shouting

wasn't lj "class of 2006"? I was a 2008-er and I think he'd been around longer than a year when I started posting

He was, but does it matter? You two were all over each other for a year or two iirc

sarahel and lj had some of the best repartee

Oh, for sure

i have an extra "l" now, times are different.

there was a platonic sort of pocahontas element because lj was venturing among these strange and restive people who could not understand his english ways and only sarahel had the poise & semiotic skills to move across the divide

Very different! The extra 'l' did not go unnoticed! Xp

Sarahel defo had the poise and semiotic skills, but on a more mundane level, she was just very coy an fond of him iirc

i did have an ilx crush on lj for a while, it's true

nilmar/nakh who have you had crushes on

And i applaud you for your honesty. Bcz it is nowt to be ashamed off.

Heck, I still have an ilx crush on lj

Xp

i will be shocked if he answers that question

yes this is an i love music thread

what do you think of the dudes in the row behind Maryanne?

the one with the baseball cap looks sort of slavic but i am finding it difficult to envisage why any of them would be anywhere near maryanne amacher

i think they might be into 'jam bands'

i know, right!!!

So not gonna happen

the picture is on Ars Electronica's site

Pippa's

networked Ars with the sphincter as microcontroller connected to a Max Patch

which changes the tone and intensity of the sound based on the number of flushes of the venue's toilets

<3 y'all

Listened to shotakivich's 5th i would prob write something a lil more hummable but it was tolerable to me

Nilmar, why does nobody want to poll Schoenberg's string quartets (Schoenberg's String Quartets)?

hah i have been thinking about that

probably 4, i spent about a week listening to it and still finding it....enigmatic

3 i don't remember at all, i need to back to it

Maybe Ask Sharivari what their vkontakte scene is called

nakh will you have been aware that there was guards called to the shooting of the Vincent Browne show this evening on foot of intimidation and homophobia from water protesters

deems la my irish knowledge is dreadful as you might have noticed

vaguely aware of the water protest thing but not interested enough to bother finding more about it

clearly there's enough water around to dilute to homoepathic levels the fluoride that should be keeping them compliant and docile

nb dayo there was an article in i think the new yorker or some other american publication a few weeks ago that mentioned this
