Part's "Fratres" is the best thing he's ever done, you'll probably like that. Here's some stuff I've been listening to recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4oh3NhM5R8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoNjqtczzGI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELIA88kHJr4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qx0K-rDJxJs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJRrM4TpXSQ Let me know if you'd like some more info on them

deong posted:The other pieces seemed a bit too busy.. Although Per Nørgård - Iris is quite nice. Quick question, the photo used in the video, is that just art work or does it represent something? It looks like the sheet music spiraled, but the colored lines throw me off. Most of the peices are wildly different. You have the Ligeti etudes, (of which I reccomend #2 and #5 highly) which are as you might expect, studies. Originally, they were usually demanding, technical solo piano peices (see Chopin's etudes of which #15 is my favorite, for a stereotypical example). Ligeti's etudes are considered some of the finest of the 20th Century. The Sorajbi etudes (second video) are totally insane, I don't really know much about the guy apart from that he wrote lots of lengthy, demanding stuff. Per Norgard is a prolific Danish composer who makes a wide variety of stuff -- the one I linked to is one of his more intricate orchestral peices that uses mathematical constructions and takes a lot from the school of composition known as spectralism (see Grisey, Murail), and in particular reminiscent of Scelsi's epic "Aion"; if it's too dense and unapproachable for you, try his CD "Works for Harp and Ensemble", with Gennem Torne being a beautiful and delicate work. As for the artwork, I think it's just an interesting, artistic representation of the "infinity series" Norgard likes to work with. However, non-standard musical notation is a very interesting subject and is used to describe scores for a lot of electro-acoustic, musique concrete and other unconventional styles developed from the classical tradition. Glenn Branca is an interesting abberation and was considered a rock musician for many years before being accepted as a composer; he has done a lot of compositions for large guitar orchestras and traditional rock instrumentation (heavily influenced by Steve Reich)- but he's done symphonies using traditional instrumentation, usually involving mathematical themes. Xenakis is a controversial and influential greek composer, the particular peice is a complex electro-acoustic composition realized using a self-designed compositional system for hundreds of speakers. High level poo poo, the stereo recording can hardly do it justice. Probably worth reading up on if you want to know more about it. quote:My normal style of listening is more in the Vein of Industrial/Electronic Music. Today, I was listening to Nine Inch Nails - The Persistence Of Loss. And I realized that I am looking for things similar to this. How would the thread judge something like this? I don't know if I would be able to tell that it was not a classical piece before NIN got a hold of it.. Am I just that uneducated in classical sty lings? The detuned/prepared piano sound that Reznor likes to use is probably influenced from John Cage, who did a lot of peices of prepared piano. What betrays the track for me is probably the downtuned guitars and very simple harmonic, melodic and rhythmic structure. As for the rest of it, if you hid the artist's name, you could probably convince a lot of people it was "classical". It's heavily indebted to the minimalism of Reich, which is a typical entry point of people wanting to know more about the classical tradition (especially coming from an electronic music background.)

Oromo posted:I really like contemporary atonal classical music, though finding good pieces requires digging through a pile of poo poo. So I really hope someone here can share his findings. I can't think of anything right now, but check this guy's channel, he's uploaded tons and tons of stuff to explore. Actually, you might like Silvestrov (a bit quiet, needs volume), although it's hardly atonal... I dunno. What about Radulescu? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24Wf6hACX6c

Clepsydra is loving nuts, for maximum appreciation, lie down in the dark with a set of good headphones. I wrote about the "sound icon" performance process in an LF thread, won't repeat it here but worth reading up on. Piano Sonata #4 is another favorite (it's on youtube)

Rogue1-and-a-half posted:I have not. The Vingt Regards was the first thing by him that I'd heard. I want to hear the, um, Requiem for the End of Time or something like that. I forget the title. "Quatuor pour la fin du temps" or "Quartet for the end of time". Written during the war in a German prisoner-of-war camp. The chief guard was fond of music and allowed him to compose. He & musicians performed the debut with some knackered old instruments in a freezing cold block in front of 100 odd people (IIRC); it's essentially about the biblical angels heralding the end of time and it's got serious backstory cred https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-augc3hjk8 Easily the best thing I've ever heard of his. Sorrowful, yearning, uplifting and every other emotion, the sort of thing I imagine playing as the edifice of western capitalism collapses around us
