... Shallow people can put on a classical record and be sure to impress others with their good taste. No risks, no research, no thinking required... just status. Music from the composers such as I listed require a depth of knowledge and passion.
Any surrealists out there, or maybe even a contemporary? Anyone an innovator of new music... or only the old conservative opinions of the boring bourgeoise?
.
Well, my three favorite three composers would not be Beethoven, Bach and Mozart but more like Vangelis, Suzanne Ciani and Gary Numan. Each one "an innovator of new music." In this case, electronic music which, incedentally, is really what sampling is all about isn't it? I see your point of thinking outside of the box but one can't deny the contributions of the big three to modern western music. Our music.
So do my selections conform to your "surrealist" request Mr. Clematide? Or am I "shallow" as well.
