Contemporary Classical Music for Interested Ears
Apologies, but closing this down

Hey everyone!

I have found my posting time on this tumblr to be minimal now…I tend to just write random stuff on my other one. I’ve also found my classical listening to be as strong as ever, but my desire to post here small…

So I’m closing this one down. The main page now redirects to my other tumblr, which I will be keeping!

drdissonance.tumblr.com

I might still post the occassional classical thing there, but it’ll be more random/uninformative stuff…

Also bear in mind this is ONLY for my contemporary classical blog! Don’t send me messages going ‘oh don’t leave!’ I’m not, I’m just making this blog redundant…

Have fun everyone!

However, this is the FULL version of MAIM. WORTH LISTENING TO! I like how it has very little tonality about it, but still evokes all these different emotions.

I am a Czernowin Fanboy…

My endeavour is to provide a rich experience. If you move through a crowd, what occurs to you is only one succession of events; but in a piece of music you have the opportunity of experiencing a set of circumstances in a number of different ways.

Richard Meale, when explaining his piece “Incredible Floridas”

I love this quote. This is why I write such complicated stuff. It’s not because I want to weird people out or scare people off! It’s because I want to provide a piece of music that different people experience uniquely.

Conlon Nancarrow - “Study No.21” for player piano (1948 -1960, somewhere in that time frame!)

I just discovered that the music library has the complete set of Nancarrow’s Player piano works…YES!!! Ripping that like a boss!

Morton Feldman - “Crippled Symmetry” (1983)

Feldman was a funny bloke…I remember studying his graphic notation stuff, particularly his Projection I

Man that was a pain…
