A bunch of totally killer sound and music articles popped up on Metafilter today. Metafilter is one of those blogs that delivers the internet goodness on an hourly basis.
First off there is…
Music with Roots in the Aether: “Robert Ashley’s Music with Roots in the Aether. Each episode features a ‘landscape’ (unusually-staged informal discussion) with a contemporary American composer, followed by a one-hour performance of his or her work.”
Then…
Berliner Trance: “Berliner Trance. A 1993 documentary tracing the origins of modern trance music in East Berlin. Featuring interviews with many of the biggest names in trance, including a very young Paul Van Dyk, now currently ranked as the #1 DJ in the world.”
For desserts…
Golden Ratios: “Did the roof of the Pantheon influence Copernicus? Are the planets of the solar system aligned in accordance with a nearly-forgotten hypothesis known (unfairly) as Bode’s Law? A fascinating wide-ranging discussion on BLDGBLOG with Walter Murch, the visionary editor and sound designer for such films as The Conversation, Apocalypse Now, The English Patient, THX1138, and many others. [Murch's film work has previously been discussed here and here.]“
And finally an aperitif..
Did it matter, like really matter?: “Have you ever stopped to listen? I do, when it’s not bad, always. I’ve missed trains, I’ve been late. I’ve given all the money I had on me.
I’ve been reminded of - X -.
I wish I had been there; I fucking love that Chaconne. It’s like the perfect prayer.”
All of this great stuff via MetaFilter.
