In other words, bland is the new adventurous.

i dunno you cats
i mean i know very little about this stuff

but hear and now is getting me down

it all sounds so BLAND to me

and not new

i wonder too sometimes if the contemporary music scene isnt suffering from the same problem as contemporary visual arts
in that the focus is on whatever loveys are currently speaking the hegemonic tongue and not on quality irrrespective of
how completely 'contemporary' it is???

maybe you guys would be a bit more in the know
and could let me know what this music is doing
that warrants it being on here and now instead of performence on three with all the other classical music?
yesterday i was going to say
no, i can't tell you anything else, mr i, you're quite right

then i thought no if i don't have anything nice to say
don't say it

but it seems i'm not the only one who might
just
kind of
agree with you ...

(sorry)

That is the very one and as you can see the hall where we've just done the dress rehearsal has wireless internet.  Smiley

I did not forget to listen to the broadcast last night. The Stockhausen string trio (9th hour of Klang) was remarkable! I have never been a big fan of Rihm, but Concerto Séraphin was impressive, not least as it managed to sustain tension and interest for some 50 minutes. Looking forward to spending some more time with these pieces.

I don't think either piece would spontaneously provoke the building of barricades, mass civil unrest and the establishment of a new order, but I don't think they were bland either.

EDIT: OS (or anyone who might know) - what were the names of the musicians in the Stockhausen trio? Truly great music, beautifully played, IMHO.
