recommend me some good modern/experimental classical music

9 beet stretch

Gavin Bryars/Philip Jeck/Alter Ego -- The Sinking Of The Titanic.

On the same LP as Sinking of The Titanic you can also find the orig recording of "Jesus Blood Never Failed Me Yet" which is... dope.

Jean Paul Dessy - Le Chant du Monde/Harmonia Mundi

"4'33" by John Cage is the only thing within that genre that I can actually bear listening to at all.

O YOU CARD

Didn't know which classical thread to revive, picked this one.

Just bought The Four Pillars Appearing from The Equal D under Resonating Apparitions of The Eternal Process in The Midwinter Starfield 16 VIII 10 (Kansas City), a piece for piano and electronics composed by Randy Gibson (who, obviously, is a student of La Monte Young) and performed by R. Andrew Lee. It's a three-CD set running about three and a half hours, and the whole thing uses just the seven D notes on the piano keyboard. I listened to some of it before buying it on Bandcamp (here's the link), expecting a LMY-esque shimmering cloud of sound, but in fact it's more like Ryoji Ikeda, or like someone trying to send a Morse code message using small gongs. It's really pretty amazing-sounding, and I can't wait to check out the whole massive thing.

Seth Colter Walls wrote about it for the New York Times; here's that link.

going bonkers trying to remember a composer, for piano, of difficult music -- I think he's English, but I'm more certain that a composition of his which had the word "English" in the title had its own thread on ilm an age ago. I want to say it was a three word title, ____ English _____s. the thread linked to video of him playing this difficult piece. ringing any bells for anybody?
