playing this in two tabs that are slightly out of sync

Neil Nosepicker (Leee), Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:11 (twelve years ago)

Rothko's Chicken and Waffles (donna rouge), Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:15 (twelve years ago)

Just noticed that site has a link to the full libretto.

Have basically written off my evening, Yay French arts websites

MaresNest, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:22 (twelve years ago)

Were the transitions between scenes always this quick?

Neil Nosepicker (Leee), Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:27 (twelve years ago)

yay the dancers

these and the spaceship are my favourite parts

my father will guide me up the stairs to bed (anagram), Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:27 (twelve years ago)

XP - On this tour you mean? Yes, possibly not on others

MaresNest, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:29 (twelve years ago)

They do seem to be cracking through it at a fair old pace though, the site says durée 3'20" which is odd, when I saw it it was at least four hours long.

my father will guide me up the stairs to bed (anagram), Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:31 (twelve years ago)

What's killing me is how it's the same people now who have been touring this for what, nearly 2 years? What does their head sound like when they go to bed at night, that poor kid.

MaresNest, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:31 (twelve years ago)

It's already been on for close to 3 hours

MaresNest, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:33 (twelve years ago)

We still have New Age Sax Terror, Radio Ga-Ga Vid and Driving Miss Daisy (on a train) to go

MaresNest, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:34 (twelve years ago)

don't forget Dan Flavin Space Aria

Rothko's Chicken and Waffles (donna rouge), Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:40 (twelve years ago)

Haha, currently watching Levitating Polo Mint V3.

MaresNest, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:45 (twelve years ago)

Had to turn off, don't want "Knee 4" to leave me a wreck while at w3rk.

Neil Nosepicker (Leee), Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:46 (twelve years ago)

it's gonna be available on the site for a while, I think

my father will guide me up the stairs to bed (anagram), Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:47 (twelve years ago)

OH THANK GLASS.

Neil Nosepicker (Leee), Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:49 (twelve years ago)

Dan Flavin Space Aria. Awesome.

dan selzer, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 21:04 (twelve years ago)

Hai-Ting Chinn bloody rules

MaresNest, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 21:18 (twelve years ago)

MaresNest, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 21:26 (twelve years ago)

I wonder how his skateboarding skills are coming along! When I saw the NY show I kinda laughed because he seemed unsteady. I'd imagine after X amount of performances he'd be doing ollie's off the stage by now.

dan selzer, Wednesday, 8 January 2014 00:56 (twelve years ago)

Anyone got a link to a download of this? Would rather not stream it...

Milton Parker, Saturday, 11 January 2014 03:16 (twelve years ago)

one month passes...

Wonder if this will actually be any good (the 1968 recording, not the fucking didgeridoo thing)

I actually really want to hear the fucking didgeridoo thing, but only out of morbid curiosity.

mirostones, Monday, 17 February 2014 17:40 (twelve years ago)

Attempted to listen to the fucking didgeridoo thing on Youtube. Interminable. Your suspicions were correct.

mirostones, Monday, 17 February 2014 18:14 (twelve years ago)

Glass up until Einstein <<<<<<<<<< Glass from Einstein through the Dance pieces >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Glass ever since. the only outliers are Music For Twelve Musicians and the Candyman soundtrack, both of which kick much ass.

a duiving caTCH, a stuolllen bayeeeess (jamescobo), Tuesday, 18 February 2014 07:43 (twelve years ago)

thought he died when saw thread bump, imagined him cold with a needle in his arm

i also enjoy in line skateing (spazzmatazz), Tuesday, 18 February 2014 08:35 (twelve years ago)

Saw a documentary about him. Watched him cook and do tai chi. He will outlive us all.

dan selzer, Tuesday, 18 February 2014 13:30 (twelve years ago)

Music For Twelve Musicians

what is this?

Dominique, Tuesday, 18 February 2014 17:57 (twelve years ago)

It's sorta like Music For Eighteen Parts

MaresNest, Tuesday, 18 February 2014 19:14 (twelve years ago)

So half of them are pulling double-duty?

eeeLectrelane (Leee), Tuesday, 18 February 2014 19:35 (twelve years ago)

rhyme heals all goons (m bison), Tuesday, 18 February 2014 23:52 (twelve years ago)

Originally it was a collaboration with Steve Reich called Music for 30 Musicians but they got into a big fight and everybody took sides.

dan selzer, Wednesday, 19 February 2014 02:08 (twelve years ago)

music for COOL PEOPLE ONLY (parts I-XXIV)

rhyme heals all goons (m bison), Wednesday, 19 February 2014 02:15 (twelve years ago)

I like La Belle et le Bete, Symphony no 8, and The Illusionist a lot out of later Glass stuff.

this is completely otm though I find the lesser post-Dance stuff more interesting/listenable than I used to.

I rly like the 3rd Qatsi score too... can't remember if that's Naqoy or Powwa. Basically the first and third Qatsi scores are great and the middle one sucks.

The new Reggio one, Visitors, was interesting enough on first listen to warrant a second. Will say more later.

I def recognize that what he has to contribute at this stage is not unique or epoch making in the way he once was but it also just pleases me on an animal level.
