Philip Glass — Documentary and performance from Four American Composers by Peter Greenaway
Опубликовано: 27 янв. 2016 г.Based on London performances under the aegis of the New York/Almeida Festival, this set of four one-hour documentaries, originally produced in 1983, introduced these avant-garde composers and their music to general British audiences. It is a tribute to the filmmakers' accomplishment (and a sorry comment on how we honor our own prophets) that the set provides no less valuable an introduction for American audiences a full decade later.
Philip Morris Glass (born January 31, 1937) is an American music composer. He is considered to be one of the most influential composers of the late 20th century and is widely acknowledged as a composer who has brought art music to the public (along with precursors such as Richard Strauss, Kurt Weill and Leonard Bernstein).
Peter Greenaway, CBE (born 5 April 1942) is a British film director. His films are noted for the distinct influence of Renaissance and Baroque painting, and Flemish painting in particular. The scenic composition and illumination and the contrasts of costume and nudity, nature and architecture, furniture and people, sexual pleasure and painful death are common traits in his films.

Опубликовано: 12 июл. 2015 г.The Drum & Bass in this mix is quite different to anything from any other mixes I've done. The rock-dnb fusion is something I love despite the fact that it is relatively rare. This mix focuses on dnb with distorted guitar lines and real drum kits.
↪ Tracklist: 00:00 ~ Modestep — Seams 03:51 ~ Modestep — Snake 07:21 ~ The Qemists/Mike Patton — Lost Weekend 09:36 ~ The Qemists — Stompbox 13:37 ~ Feint — Snake Eyes (feat. CoMa) 17:29 ~ Enter Shikari — No Sleep Tonight (The Qemists Remix) 20:58 ~ Pendulum — Showdown 26:13 ~ Spor — Empire (feat. James Hadouken) 30:35 ~ Modestep — Make You Mine (feat. Teddy Killerz) 33:33 ~ Pendulum — Propane Nightmares (Celldweller Remix) 38:49 ~ The Qemists — No More 42:53 ~ The Prodigy — Voodoo People (Pendulum Mix) 47:19 ~ Modestep — Feel Alive 51:20 ~ Pendulum — Crush
I am aware that there is quite a lot of Metal-dnb, but personally I am not much of a fan as it is mostly heavy metal at a fast tempo with an occasional dnb rhythm. If you are interested in something heavier, then I would recommend checking out Zardonic and Celldweller.
Опубликовано: 15 нояб. 2014 г.In memory of our friend, Josef Trávníček (23.5.1970 — 9.11.2014)
— great teacher, follower of Comenius way (educating while playing), who was easily able to get attention and interest of his students at any time, showing them history of their own district, city, region, country and the whole world in the way they would love to see — in context… with accent on culture, folklore and true traditions.
This is my condolence to his family — my very good friends.

_________________________________________________
Over the last fifteen years, Philip Glass has defined a new form of biographical opera. There was never any doubt that he would be the ideal composer for Mishima, a mosaic film biography. I wanted a score which would unite the film's disparate elements and propel it forward. Such a score, by definition, would be a distinct, cohesive composition.
I only wondered how to induce Glass. Money was out of the question: the film was already an egregiously under-budgeted labor of love production. I opted for a soft sell. (I've subsequently learned how remarkably resistant Philip is to a hard one.) I simply gave him the script and all the materials by and about Mishima at my disposal.
Philip responded enthusiastically and after several pre-production meetings and a trip to the Tokyo locations, wrote a score from the script as he would from a libretto. With Kurt Munkacsi and Michael Riesman he recorded a temp synthesizer version.
I edited the film to this temp score, altering it as necessary: cutting, expanding and repeating cues. I then played the edited film and score for Philip. He rewrote the music to fit the film's now-precise specifications and recorded it with a full orchestra. Later, he supervised last-minute changes during the final mix.
In keeping with the original concept, Glass has re-edited the score as a distinct musical entity. His Mishima equally serves the film and stands alone.
— Paul Schrader
