Peter Broderick - "Music for Congregation" & "Float" back to back.
-That Congregation album is just an EP, but it might be the prettiest thing he's ever done. My adoration of Float has been stated previously.
Long story, the short version is that a few months ago I switched to a new laptop without Firewire, so my music library is still on the old laptop and the ext. Firewire drive with the music is in a drawer. All this time I've been playing stuff in Spotify and off the Web. I've had no need to plug the ext. drive back in. Although I can't give playcounts, I'm sure I've played #9 a few times. edit: also Amazon Cloud Player for alternate listening, especially at work. ACP is almost exclusively Amazon free tracks.
I like this so far. Reminds me of Mott the Hoople and Pink Floyd. edit: Some Beatles in there as well.
Listening online at AOL Full CD Listening Party
edit: Finished the album. I like it. Definitely worth a listen.
Actually, I am listing to Joe Frawley's The Silent Ballet. I have listened to Revolution Number 9 a dozen times, according to my iPod (which cannot lie).
- "Probably the most promising Italian composer of the new generation, Fausto Romitelli (1963-2004) died in Milan after a serious illness. Trained in Milan and Sienna, he was interested at a very early stage in the major pioneers of contemporary music (Ligeti, Scelsi, Donatoni), but was especially inspired by French spectral music and new technologies in sound; his period as a research composer at IRCAM from 1993 to 1995 definitely opened up horizons for him that had an unparalleled effet on the development of his musical language.
An astonishing composer, of insolent modernity, the Italians world included psychedelic rock and electric sonorities. An Index of Metals, his last work, was written during the final weeks of his life and is a veritable journey to the heart of sound, to the centre of sound matter. Romitelli explores sound in all its breadth, in all its depth, to find out to what extent he is close to something throbbing and alive, to admire its energy and even its violence. This is total immersion; all the component elements of Romitellis music seem to want to push the limits of sound and try out a novel sublimity. Even Kenka Lèkovichs text becomes matter, linguistic in this case, reinforcing the sound matter, at once sensual and metallic."

I almost forgot I had this. Glad to be re-aquainted.
