Slowly but surely I'm making more Tumblr friends, and I actually have 9 people to tag now! Yay!

These aren't horribly personal questions, so I hope everyone will respond. Also, I know Winter already tagged some of you, but I want to be tagged by everyone I know who does this!

*****

Last song I listened to: Memories of Green, by Vangelis (from the Blade Runner soundtrack)

Favorite color: I love practically all colors, but I love deep cool colors (green, blue, purple) the most

Currently watching: Nothing - not really a TV person

Sweet/savoury/spicy?: All of the above, sometimes mixed together!

Relationship status: Widowed and single for the last 10 years

Last thing you googled: home growing tea in the US Midwest

Current obsession: Skyrim forever. Thanks, Todd. <- I left Winter's answer because what else is there to say? Two years and still living in the land of magic, beautiful scenery, and sexy elves (they might be considered part of the beautiful scenery).

💬 - Whether or not Philip Glass' critics have a point or whether his status as a celebrated composer is earned

He really can't help it - he throws his head back and he lets out a roar of laughter that likely has people jumping a block away the noise is so loud and so throaty.

Hank's still chuckling as he slides his glasses from his nose and rubs at them with a cleaning cloth, giving Tess a very fond, very amused, very warm smile.

"Oh, very good, very good."

It takes him about three seconds to take mental inventory of Philip Glass' life work. It'd be quicker, but he's still laughing a little.

"So, to be succinct, as I so rarely am, I think both points can absolutely be true at the same time. I can think of few celebrated composers who don't have a point to made against them, and often several, in fact, that you find yourself craning a head and thinking, there really is something in that. I could of course cite Mahler, Wagner, Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart, Bizet, Berlioz, Debussy, Chopin - but then we would be here all day, and, let's face it, Tess, it's you and I, so it really would be all day."

"With that prefaced, let's engage with the point at hand, to wit - Glass' work as a composer, which has oft been criticised for a lack of substance, for being, if you'll pardon the modern turn of phrase, all vibes and no structure. There's something in that, I suppose, in some of his more reiterative and repetitive pieces, which often focus more on the building of tone rather than telling a story.

Compare him, if you will, with his contemporary film composers, say, Vangelis, John Williams or Jerry Goldsmith - the story of the film is contained within their musical choices just as surely as it is within the visuals and the mise-en-scène, but not quite so with Glass. TIE Fighter Attack is an intrinsic part of the story of Star Wars: A New Hope, just as surely as Red Alert is of Star Trek: First Contact's Battle of Sector 001, or Vangelis' Blade Runner Blues.

Pruit Igoe and Prophecies is not TIE Fighter Attack. This is indisputable."

"And yet, to criticise him for that is, while I suppose valid, rather missing the point. No, Pruit Igoe and Prophecies is not TIE Fighter Attack. Because it isn't trying to be. It's trying to be Pruit Igoe and Prophecies, just as Koyannisqatsi is not trying to be Star Wars, it's trying to be Koyannisqatsi, and succeeding quite well at that.

You can dislike one or the other, but to say that there is no substance simply because it lacks what you consider to be the usual signifiers of structure - a strong leitmotif, a pleasing counter-melody, parallel fourths or fifth - is to betray a simple aesthetic distaste for minimalism. Glass' music is not designed to be downloaded onto an iPod or a Spotify playlist, it's designed to be, if anything, a sensory experience, it's designed to roll over you and for you to savour the repetition as it occurs. But that's a matter of subjective taste, of course."

Hank leans back, contemplative. He thinks for a moment.

"Tess?"

". . . Why did the glass go to therapy?"

"It had too many issues it found itself reflecting on."

I had Apple Music’s Classic Electronic radio station playing in the background during work and all of a sudden I was… I’m sure I know this one but what is it!? Ahh. “Blade Runner Blues” by Vangelis on the Blade Runner OST. So perfect and moody.

First day down, numbers 100-41! Already heard seven of my ten picks, starting with keytar at 100, and continuing with djembe (95), ocarina (77, and yes they played Zelda's Lullaby and I was delighted), taiko (74), tubular bells (62, yes they included some… Tubular Bells), electric guitar (42, they did a really cool orchestral thing with Deep Purple, and Sister Rosetta Tharpe), and finished the day with the synthesiser (41, including Vangelis' theme for Blade Runner, two Wendy Carlos pieces (one from Switched On Bach and the Tron theme), a neat African piece, and… something from Crash Bandicoot on the otamatone).

Will shamisen and fiddle be included? Who knows! I'm fairly certain shofar is right out, though. Honestly I think the biggest question right now is whether piano or violin will take out the top spot, and what pieces they'll use for everything else.

I'm hoping organ uses the finale of Saint-Saëns', uh, organ symphony, and the Ode to Joy part of movement four of Choral and/or Carmina Burana for, uh, choral voice. I'd love to hear Rhapsody in Blue for piano, but given that'll probably be one of the top two and there are a lot more better known pieces, who knows. I know Mum's hoping for Elgar for cello, although I suspect they'll go with Bach.

Tomorrow, the top 40!

Listed: M. Sage

Colorado musician, artist and educator Matthew Sage produces a unique form of ambient music, one that focuses on personal experience rather than obscure intellectual objectives or new age mysticism. Through both his own sounds and those he curates via his Cached Media imprint his goal is to unearth the beauty within the seemingly mundane. With Paradise Crick, his latest and most fully formed release, he casts his gaze on the great outdoors, envisaging a camping excursion. In his review, Bryon Hayes found that the record was “his most visceral work, as he ornaments his typically ambient palette with an assortment of palpable shapes, colors, and textures.” In addition to making music, Sage also enjoys seeking it out, often from non-traditional sources. For this edition of Listed, he runs down some of the more interesting records that he picked up on recent thrift store diving excursions.

10 recent thrift store finds in no particular order — I hit the flea markets and thrift stores once or twice a month and get weird CDs and cassettes. I like buying stuff that I would otherwise listen to on streaming… or never listen to from these local companies. We have CD players in our vehicles and I listen to CDs a lot driving. Cassettes mainly happen in my office when I am writing or drawing. So… a lot of what I look for is sort of “functional music” that I can do stuff to. I also snag up favorites from bands I love… I found 3 Wilco CDs at one shop last week!

Anyway, here are some recent favs.

Bonnie “Prince” Billy — Master and Everyone

Found in Longmont at the thrift store with the curated CD selection. Long time BPB fan, and I especially like how subdued this one is. Maybe not my all-time fav Oldham out there, but it’s great and the CD is in great shape.

The New American Orchestra — Blade Runner Soundtrack

Found at one of the flea markets in Fort Collins. Maybe the one with the lavender? This is an orchestral adaptation of the original Vangelis score, and it is about as smooth jazz as it gets. Incredible sweeping melodies. This version of “Blade Runner Blues” feels like something hiding on “In a Silent Way.” Ambient jazz for sure.

Chet Baker — Let’s Get Lost

Another one from the Longmont spot. Been obsessed with Chet Baker for a while now in that when I don’t know what I want to listen to, I just throw on any Chet’s greatest hits album and feel content. I love the arrangement on “My Ideal” with the toy piano and Chet’s voice and trumpet.

John Coltrane — The Gentle Side of John Coltrane

Also from the Longmont spot. I, of course, love wailing Coltrane. But I also think his sweet songs are some of his best. “After the Rain” is especially informing some of the arrangement choices I’ve been making on some new Fuubutsushi songs.

Shanghai Film Symphony Orchestra — An Dun (Calming the Emotions)

I buy a lot of random CDs like this, and I can’t remember where exactly this one came from. But yeah, foreign/new age/private press, etc. weird CDs… and most of the time they aren’t great… but this one is very good. When I find something like this that I like I google it later. When I did that with this CD, I found it on YouTube and this is my favorite comment about it: “Whenever I play this on a construction site, at first the guys complain. Then later they thank me for playing it. Saying they've never felt better.” My toddler seems to enjoy it in the car… I do too.

Claude Debussy — Images pour Orchestre. Preludes: La Fille aux Cheveaux de Lin

70 minutes of Debussy from Longmont ARC. Lots of solo piano from Peter Schmalfuss. I like that these recordings feel soft. Sometimes classical piano feels really hard, lots of attack, almost like microscopic. These recordings are more spacious. Chris from Fuubutsushi swears by Ravel, but I am team-Debussy.

Georgia Kelly — Seapeace: Music for Harp

Can’t remember where but found this in Colorado in a stash of pretty heady new age tapes. Later found out it’s a cult classic. It is a self-released one — the album was later reissued on other formats by new age labels — so I love knowing Ms. Kelly herself released this copy into the world and it has since ended up in my possession. The whole thing is on YouTube!

English Meadow: Environments — Environments 1, 4, 12: Slow Ocean, English Meadow, Intonation

I have all the Environments titles on LP and have since started collecting cassettes when I see them in the wild. These 3 are specifically my favorite Environments, so finding them all in one go felt like a thrifting triumph. I feel like English Meadow specifically sounds nice on cassette.

Blade Runner (1982)

Directed by Ridley Scott

Cinematography by Jordan Cronenweth

Starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, Edward James Olmos and Daryl Hannah

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Blade Runner Blues | Vangelis

[maximuswolf]

Vangelis gave me everything when he recorded the music for Vangelis - Blade Runner [Soundtrack]

Vangelis gave me everything when he recorded the music for Vangelis - Blade Runner [Soundtrack] I don’t know why, but my introduction to Blade Runner was this soundtrack. I started listening to the film’s unique music way before I watched the actual movie. Again, I don’t know why that was. I was transitioning from the 9 to 5 works into freelance while I started dating a girl around the same time. Her parents’ backyard had what I called the Lagoon. It was a broken jacuzzi. But to me, listening to this score, blue sky, floating on my back, middle of the day, I felt emboldened in my resolve. 7 years later, I married that girl, I’m still self-employed, I still listen to this almost everyday, ask my wife. It’s a staple on our road trips. And it transforms a pool into a post apocalyptic paradise. Palm trees and replicants.
