Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I knew Clyne, though pretty peripherally, around the same time. And I saw Invisible Cities a few years back in NYC. I can't disagree that it's a remarkably singular work.I knew you were at MSM around then, but it's still so strange to find these little strands from the past shared with someone on here.

Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I can hear Messiaen in many of Lalo Schifrin's avant-garde scores (he studied with him and Charles Koechlin at the Paris Conservatoire at age of 20), but it's often obscured by a whole range or other influences.

Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Cool! I didn't know that. Not very familiar with Schifrin myself sadly. Any examples?Fuck, this one of those times I hate Youtube. Can't find the Messiaenish cues I was thinking of, since as you'd guess, it's dominated by his more popular jazzy stuff.To cite a well known score, the jungle and temple cues from ROTLA remind me a lot of Turangalila and his other large orchestral works from that period, and of course Varése's Ameriques and Arcana. This is one of my favourite Prokofiev pieces. I love how painfully visceral yet humane it is. You can feel the grit and snow slowly collect under ones fingernails. Wish it was performed more. publicist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,388 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Beautiful and lyrical classical guitar piece by Anthony Phillips (Genesis) played by some youtube guy. "This is a classical guitar solo and is taken from a massive, straggly piece of the same name (deleted before available). It is rather a curiosity item in that it contains a snippet of an old, unrecorded Genesis song* and also themes from the absent movement of "Flamingo"." *The song Ant refers to is "Pacidy", a recorded performance of it is available on Genesis Archive 1967-75. It is an appallingly beautiful song worth to check out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
