I always wonder how many centuries of practising it would take for me... to play as in 5:30 ff. So much total insanity in this one.

My alltime favourite Dido and Aeneas. Concert d'Astree. Here Didos Lament, obviously. Susan Graham singing. 2:50 ff. makes me a total mess.

Valentina Lisitsa is my favourite living piano player for the most part. Here's Beethoven Tempest Sonata (the beautiful mvmt. - what if our IDM heroes created such melodies?) recorded with a GoPro cam. She has uploaded a lot of interesting stuff. E.g. her practising. Complete performance is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3gavEOlXdY

The finale of Sibelius 4. It's the oppossite of boombastic endings, but has always impressed me massively. Dark souls like me love the funeral march kind of phrase at 38:43. The bleakness of the ending - wonderful... 37:40 (Sym. ends at 39:20) BTW, Sibelius funeral march (In Memoriam) is very loveable. There's not just Bruckner Wagner funeral march in 7/2 or Beethovens Marcia Funebre in Eroica. Also, Kurt Atterberg has a great funeral march in Sym. #5.

Sym. #11 Shostakovich. You can never go wrong with this violent scene 29:39 ff. - and the haunting and creepy part after it. All violins legato and vibrato is always welcome.

Wonderful new track. It is like a dream, has those Plaid levels of beauty, but also the desired bits of uncertainty. Love it. The above track (TheFall) - fun track, has some 50s dance vibes - Rockn'roll? Rockabilly? https://exmat.bandcamp.com/album/redsquare

Was obsessed about the witch, also Decks Dark. Tinker grew massively, love that part when the violins come in. Well and Thoms voice there. I can sing at an even higher pitch. Sounds like my dog, but I love singing when nobody listens ?

Instabuy. Secretly hoping for some outstanding beauty, Strawberry Fields Hotel comes to mind, which is a classic.

Somewhere he wrote "Time for a fourth album" - but there's only 2 yet, can someone explain? VHSH caught my interest.

At home: Have a Chromecast Audio attached to every hifi system, unfortunately Google doesn't produce them any more. Prefer it over my BT aptx receivers because simply WIFI has way superior bandwidth. Typically feed it either in a smartphone streaming way (i.e. media files on smartphone) or maybe command them to play from YT Music. In car: I dislike BT in car after all those years... It's a diva which often does not want to connect etc. Believe me, I meanwhile know all my possibilities between deleting BT System app caches, BT protocol choice in Android dev. options... Being busy with connecting while being on the road for 2km is just not reasonable or secure. So I put stuff very traditionally on a USB stick/ SD card. Prefer listening music LOUD in the car. I can sing there to Thom Yorke, ie like a meeoowing cat and nobody laughs ? Also listening to classical music in my car while my right hand does the necessary air conducting. Because of the high dynamics differences, music has VLevel DSP (for fb2k) in the converter chain. IDK how it's called, it's a kind of oppossite compressor - it makes the more silent parts louder. Otherwise it wouldn't make much sense to listen to symphonic music in a rather loud environment. Notice the disgusting file naming pattern, in the screenshot you just see a part of it ?

It's getting colder outside, my turtle is now below ground, digged like 10 cm. But I found out turtles do not approach the earths core, so there's that. Some interesting points there in the interview... So I think exmcarolfun is the result of opening Bach MIDI files? He mentioned his stuff is "a bit more sweet" because of the kids. I noticed, he doesn't do that much "2nd half destruction" in his tracks as before. Not as brutal/disordered at least (having e.g. ignatio from Modulus in mind). BTW, my bet is a return of Trump. Likes Radiohead/Thom, Ae of course, mentioned Confield at first as an island disc. YES U OUR MAN MAN

THE HISTORIC EVENT

Kinda surprised he uses FL. I thought it's rather rare outside the edm genre. But I've seen, it's a capable DAW meanwhile. Opening track is really a grower for me, esp. 2nd half. Jaha, that 80s beginning...

Beats/flow of "Death of Sarah" remind me of Fatty Boom Boom (Die Antwoord). At 4:50 he starts using those hi-resonance filtered kicks, those are also in that track IIRC. IMO if that is a concept album (I always like that) with a story in mind, that story should be more loudly told, ie on Bandcamp page.

Definitely. Writing letters or fax messages to WARP office in Sheffield begging for their stuff... They were reliable, always received replies. Was able to pay coz. I always had a Mastercard. International payment wasn't as easy as today.

Hello pokk, I reckon now is the time for some RDJ discussion. ? That guy who made decent music in the past *beg*

Stepping once again into the realm of piano music, Chopin Nocturnes, Beethoven Sonatas... Very much appreciate Mrs. Lisitsas playing. 30 FPS are often too slow for her playing ?

Favourite tracks playlist. OK, a bit offtopic, most aren't free. But all on Bandcamp except Autumn Is Coming (Soundcloud). Currently love this track. Randomly played when a drove back home deep at night - perfectly fitting it: https://exmat.bandcamp.com/track/exm-k-evive-andy-wheddon-friends-live-remixed-by-exm 2015. bck2016_RMX - 01. bck2016_RMX 2015. k_evive - Remixed by exm 2015. llmnt - 03.

Solid. Initial favourite is Death Of Sarah. Unsettling song for the troubled mind.

I signed up to Facebook when there were basically students like me. I was surprised about them to let those uneducated / heavy metal listening plebs in. That's where the decline must have started. Seriously!

The zone has me back. Playing Stalker - Anomaly a lot. What a gift. https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly Stalker mods have given me the worst kind of malware - I'm not saying Anomaly has some, but Stalker with mods is what I always play on a secondary windows just to be safe. This and The Long Dark is 90% of my gaming these days.

Obviously: LFO - Frequencies And here's already the correct answer for 1993: Ae - Incunabula

Such a solid release. Hoping for a Stem Sell II - they remixed so much. My current favorites: 03. The Villain (Plaid Remix).mp3 05. Les Hippocampes (Plaid Remix).mp3 13. Where Did He Go … And Why (Plaid Remix).mp3 20. Morning Blues (Plaid Remix).mp3 26. Yourturn (Plaid Remix).mp3 28. Room With A View (Plaid Remix).mp3 If you want to celebrate beauty, nature and life, Plaid is the goto IDM band.

OMG. I love Tatortreiniger (A german show). S1E3, "Nicht über mein Sofa" is immortal. Eg it's on https://www.netflix.com/watch/70308052 Bjarne Mädel, the actor, is awesome. The old lady deserves an Oscar for her acting. This track here is a real fun track.
