Nico Muhly "Mothertongue"

I found it fascinating how Muhly has such a distinctive voice for his concertos. The cello concerto had so many similarities to the violin concerto, but yet it was still very different. (It probably shows my lack of knowledge about contemporary composers) but are there any other who sound similar?

Second on that cover of Only Love Can Break Your Heart. I can't remember the last time I sat through a piece of music without grinning so much, and physically hug the music. If ever. Thinking about it, that's probably a pretty odd reaction to music.

ya I should perhaps have mentioned that it was lovely alongside being personally creepy.

Doveman always covers that Neil Young song! It's his 'thing'.

It was a great night, hearing The Only Tune in person was amazing and I loved the spatial violins at the end, gave me Unanswered Question style chills. The only problem is that piece makes me feel really sad and It's still lingering now, so I've been wallowing in really sad music ever since, I need to cheer the hell up.

Also Owen, do Nico and Thomes practise that modern dance keyboard relay thing? It's hella impressive to watch.
