They do seem to be cracking through it at a fair old pace though, the site says durée 3'20" which is odd, when I saw it it was at least four hours long.

What's killing me is how it's the same people now who have been touring this for what, nearly 2 years? What does their head sound like when they go to bed at night, that poor kid.

I wonder how his skateboarding skills are coming along! When I saw the NY show I kinda laughed because he seemed unsteady. I'd imagine after X amount of performances he'd be doing ollie's off the stage by now.

Anyone got a link to a download of this? Would rather not stream it...

Wonder if this will actually be any good (the 1968 recording, not the fucking didgeridoo thing)

I actually really want to hear the fucking didgeridoo thing, but only out of morbid curiosity.
― mirostones, Monday, 17 February 2014 17:40 (ten years ago) link
Attempted to listen to the fucking didgeridoo thing on Youtube. Interminable. Your suspicions were correct.

Glass up until Einstein <<<<<<<<<< Glass from Einstein through the Dance pieces >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Glass ever since. the only outliers are Music For Twelve Musicians and the Candyman soundtrack, both of which kick much ass.

Music For Twelve Musicians
what is this?
― Dominique, Tuesday, 18 February 2014 17:57 (ten years ago) link
It's sorta like Music For Eighteen Parts

Originally it was a collaboration with Steve Reich called Music for 30 Musicians but they got into a big fight and everybody took sides.

I like La Belle et le Bete, Symphony no 8, and The Illusionist a lot out of later Glass stuff.

this is completely otm though I find the lesser post-Dance stuff more interesting/listenable than I used to.

I rly like the 3rd Qatsi score too... can't remember if that's Naqoy or Powwa. Basically the first and third Qatsi scores are great and the middle one sucks.
The new Reggio one, Visitors, was interesting enough on first listen to warrant a second. Will say more later.
I def recognize that what he has to contribute at this stage is not unique or epoch making in the way he once was but it also just pleases me on an animal level.

Visitors: the album is about 2x too long but there is some really moving stuff here. Recommend paring it down to tracks 1,4,5 and 6.

uh how come nobody mentioned that UCLA is putting on three days of Glass pieces in early May
5/2: Beauty and the Beast: http://cap.ucla.edu/calendar/event_detail.asp?id=3985/3: Music In Twelve Parts (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!): http://cap.ucla.edu/calendar/event_detail.asp?id=3995/4: some new thing called Etudes: http://cap.ucla.edu/calendar/event_detail.asp?id=400
I bought a ticket dead center for Twelve Parts. this means that in the last calendar year I will have seen Einstein on the Beach, Music In Twelve Parts, Music For 18 Musicians, and Drumming all performed live. now I just need to see performances of The Photographer and Bryars' Sinking of the Titanic and I can go ahead and leave the planet. hard to believe anything's going to top Drumming though.

sometimes i think part one of 12 parts is the most sublime ambient piece ever composed
― rhyme heals all goons (m bison), Wednesday, 2 April 2014 01:30 (ten years ago) link
it pisses me off so much that they're sticking an intermission in the middle of it. fuk the wusses who can't handle the whole thing in one go. then again I saw Einstein twice without ever getting up to go to the bathroom so maybe my kidneys just appreciate minimalism.
