what did you think of jenny hval? did you find their albums generally similar?
>>
>>61022167
I felt like it was too pretentious and uninteresting for its own good.
>>
>>61022203
that's such a lazy comparison desu. the only thing they have in common is a pussy.
>>
>>61022203
Jenny Hval is probably the worst live act I've ever seen
>>
>>61022203
Nothing alike. i like Jenny Hval alright, but wouldn't compare the two

what'd you think of Colin Stetson/Sarah Neufeld? Arca - Mutant?

I'm also warming up to that new Richard Hawley album a lot but Lightning in a Twilight Hour has Ancient Fiction and Death of Silence and I just can't get enough of those.
>>
>>61021952

Ten Love Songs was really good, surprised it didn't get more hype.

>>61022067

Good stuff, but thats the wrong Fritch IMO
>>
>>61022232
oh I remembered both albums as having fairly standard pop songs and then some more experimental songs.

Colin Stetson/Sarah Neufeld is a very experimental, hypnotic, looping series of saxophone/violin duets

Have you listened to that other Color of Pomegranates album that came out this year?
I've been meaning to because I like Aram Bajakian but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
>>
>>61022501
>instrumental strings and sax
kek worst description ever. its mostly minimalist pieces. standard violin playing but stetson really gets a lot of unique sounds out od the sax. like a huge living organism. at times ambient/ dronelike minimalism. then sometimes highly arpeggiated rotating pattern like reich or glass.
>>
>>61022473
A bit less than the original, but yes I did. Why?
>>
>>61022608
>kek worst description ever.
well its not wrong

sorry I said anything. I'll stop posting

you win

finally
>>
>>61022336
I've got Revisionist on there too, it's just lacking something for me. Nice to see A Thousand Fields on a list that isn't mine.
>>
>>61022607
why would people score such a beautifully scored film? i can understand challenging oneself to score stuff like man with a movie camera or other silent films but it seems retarded. i just think of all the 16 year old p4k readers watching the color of pomegranates for the first time while listenign to nico jaar ffs. i cringe.
>>
>>61022633
no reason

I'm leaving

good luck everyone

you'll need it
>>
>>61022661
which list was yours?
>>
>>61022635
insrumental is literally the worst description ever. literally alll music ever is instrumental. as an instrument is simply a creator of sound or silence....
>>
>>61022607
never heard of this, just downloaded it from his bandcamp, seems promising so far
>>
>>61022654
I can see it being fun to build music around really visually intense movies.Maybe not as a permanent substitution to the original score, but as a neat thing to check out later. And, to be fair, the Aram Bajakian album is only "music inspired by".
Also, rescore of Derek Jarman's Blue when?

End of people treating 4'33" and Blue as memes because they've spent forty-five seconds reading up on their concepts and keking at the superficial simplicity when?

Oh wow, I feel stupid

And yeah A Thousand Feilds took me by suprise. One of the few really engaging ambient albums ive come across
