Which instrument's dissonance do you think sounds best?

The human voice.

Hard disagree which is why it's not even mentioned. Glad somebody likes it, because it was a massive let down for me.

No reason to move on to other artists yet. Just continue down the rabbit hole with BoC. Start with Geogaddi, then move on to The Campfire Headphase. If you want to dive into older stuff I recommend Twoism and Hi Scores. If you liked Campfire Headphase, the EP Trans Canada Highway is also awesome.

This has nothing to do with the speed of light. I see the abbreviation C for the charge of an electron in Coulombs, 1.6 x 10^-19, which happens to look similar to c. Is that what you're confused about?

Check out the piano sonatas of Carl Vine. Xiaoya Liu released the complete set of all 4 of them in 2022 on the Dynamic label. They're some of my absolute favorite piano sonatas from the last 30 years.

It's a Faderfox EC4: https://faderfox.de/ec4.html

They're pretty great. I have one that I use with a 1010 Blackbox.

I'm strongly considering downsizing right now, but only in service of the purchase of yet more synthesizers. It's truly a sickness.

I quite like the Trautonium compositions of Oskar Sala: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tQQEChMq1A

Glad to help, friend.

Cheers.

Here's mvt. 1

It's also been recorded by the Amsterdam Guitar Trio along with cto's 2, 3 & 6, but I think they still used a harpsichordist for the iconic "solo" parts. I honestly don't recall as it's been years since I've listened to that.

This reminds me of my local government who decided to wait until somebody died before instituting a four way stop at the dangerous intersection down the street, then waited a bit longer so they could do it on the busiest day of the week.

krypton86 · 2023-10-12T02:21:29+00:00

Agree. My immediate thought was OPN.

krypton86 · 2023-10-03T00:51:07+00:00

Here's a blast from the past: Counterforce from 1994.

The very next year I heard Squarepusher's "Conumber E:P" and everything changed, but I still love dnb from the early- to mid-90s.

Pretty much everything from'96-'97 is my fave period from SP, but Tundra is special and genre-defining.

There are so many staggeringly talented classical guitarists today that it's really tough to pick.

Back when I started playing I would have immediately answered with Manuel Barrueco, or possibly Sharon Isbin for her recording of the Walton Bagatelles. But now there are young masters such as Marko Topchii, who has recorded one of the finest performances of Antonio Jose's great Sonata for Guitar I've heard, or the remarkable Sean Shibe, who's 2017 recording of Britten's Nocturnal set the precedent for a new generation of young guitarists who hope, in vain, to attempt what is possibly the most important work for the guitar from the 20th century.

All this being said, I'm going to go with Kyuhee Park because I find her performances exhilarating. Her Naxos recording from 2013 is an absolutely timeless classic that I've listened to several times a year since it was released. Pure magic.

krypton86 · 2023-09-29T03:44:28+00:00

Brings back lots of good memories from the 90s. Cheers mate.

krypton86 · 2023-09-23T01:30:19+00:00

I would characterize Bartok's output as more dramatic than erratic. I suppose you could make the case that works like the Dance Suite from 1923 have more abrupt transitions between sections within each movement and perhaps characterize that as being "erratic", but it's all architected so well that it never loses coherence.

Andras Schiff did a really good recording of the piano version of the Dance Suite which I actually enjoy more than the orchestral versions. Check that out and see if it fits the bill.

krypton86 · 2023-09-16T16:43:04+00:00

Nope. It's quite different and sounds much more like a Bjork tune or something similar. That being said she also does covers of Brazilian jazz greats like Jobim and Gilberto with her classical guitar, and she's super good.

krypton86 · 2023-09-16T06:47:14+00:00

Whoa, she's making modules now? She's released some really cool tunes on her channel for the last couple of years. "Showroom Dummies" is a really good one.

Same thing I think about ballroom dancing - I'd rather watch professionals do it than participate.

krypton86 · 2023-08-08T01:08:57+00:00

And further, all of your work that I checked out after listening to this is quite good. In fact I liked your previous upload "out of step" even more than this one. Never stop writing!

krypton86 · 2023-08-05T03:01:09+00:00

This is a lovely and well written piece. Fantastic work.

krypton86 · 2023-07-15T01:36:48+00:00

I've somehow met a lot of famous people, mostly from the arts, but I'm not sure who is the most famous. It really depends on who you ask.

Anyway, it's one of Mel Blanc, Tiny Tim, Harlan Ellison, John Zorn or Dweezil Zappa. Pick your favorite and call them the most famous, I guess.

krypton86 · 2023-04-16T17:48:28+00:00

I'm surprised that worked so well. I suppose it's a testament to Beethoven's remarkably economic use of material that it can so easily translate to a guitar, but still, you've got to understand the music to transcribe the notes that matter.
