I’ve started to do something on twitter (can’t get away with the new moniker 😠) which occasionally I shall put here for those of you interested in more short bites in sound.
New release –
24bit, 96khz, ambient, atmospheric, cosmic, meditation, space music
One that I missed –
electronic, ambient, experimental, new classical music
Recommendation –
experimental, acousmatic, electroacoustic, electronic, musique concrète
It is with sadness that I learnt of the death of Kaija Saariaho. There are others more eloquent and knowledgeable than me, who have written obituaries to match her importance in the pantheon of composers.
All I can say is that personally, her music was one of the first where I discovered the beauty of the natural world encapsulated in sound and composition, using both orchestral and electronic instruments.
As my blackbird sings in the garden this morning, somehow, I hear a connection between his song and her songs.
