Great phrase! Yes, I can hear that!jancivil wrote:'this is the handshake between Varèse and Zappa'
Such terms are suitable for the person that has to put records in labeled bins at the record store. Teh "avant-garde" bin is a bit of a ghetto.Jace-BeOS wrote:Duly noted.

That being said, I do consider what I'm doing as 21st century music, and not 20th c.

Thanks for the education. I learned something today. But yeah, I picked out that "sound" right away. Really took me back to my childhood.jancivil wrote:That's because practically every composer working at that time (before rock music and so forth had any entry to soundtracks really) was working out of the playbook of Varèse and the Second Viennese School (Schoenberg et al). For instance I was binge-watching The Virginian when I was in the convalescent hospital on this one cowboy channel and the underscore was totally Zappa out of Varèse. It was kind of hilarious because it was there to create a kind of aberrant psychology profile for the bad guys and the shit they pulled, but having no relation to the mise en scene.
Thanks for checking it out and comments.
