I love it when someone proves me wrong. It tends to bring me back to earth and realize that even old people (especially old people) can learn a thing or two.
In an earlier post, I questioned the quality and newness of any compositions created in the past few decades and today I was proven wrong.
Enjoy this beautiful composition which includes some Stravinsky as well as electric guitar.
Please excuse me now as I will have to remove the egg from my face. To the younger crowd, that means I was wrong.
The composer’s program notes are included below the video.
Much of the music is done in odd time signatures (like 13/8) to give the music an interesting drive – even though there is a familiarity to the overall music. As a composer I’m trying to capture what the masters have done and add a new element. The music is driving, engaging and yet not so foreign to be off-putting.
