Yup, my point, be it beer, music, wine or women/men, we all have our different tastes. Most modern atonal music is not my thing, either, but like all things, you have to at least give it a try. And some tastes are aquired.

ahh, but then there's... poutine.Chips require salt and acid, not more fat. It's science.

Our little local restaurant (we have one, amazingly, in the tiny village where we live) sevrves a bitchen duck poutine.
I think you haven't had the right Mayo.People like mayonnaise, which is barbaric.
I'm willing to try. Although I'll confess to some trepidation. I like all the ingredients, but for some reason mayo in anything but trace quantities makes me gag.I think you haven't had the right Mayo.
Great Mayonnaise Debate - Sean of the South
I got a letter from Phillip in Sacramento, California, who asked an important question. And by “important,” I mean life-or-death important: “Sean, which brands of mayonnaise do Southerners like best?” I immediately spotted the small error in his question. And if you live in the same part of the...seandietrich.com

I enjoyed Xenakis piece subjectively. I'm not sure I'm musically insightful enough to correctly evaluate it in the context of the present thread. To the extent that any pure percussion is 'automatically' close to atonal just as a matter of acoustics, it is atonal. Yet it felt more tonal than not in that there seemed to be a home key with a defined range and it didn't seem discordant, at least most of the time. It would be helpful to me if you could provide context as you see it....I also see it something like that.
BTW: One of my favorites in this genre is the composer Xenakis. For example with his percussion piece Rebonds b ...
Not really. It's Messiaen, who has been dead since 1992 . Des Canyons is from 1971. It's 20th Century music.It’s contemporary classical music.
Yes well, that's Messiaen innit?
Seriously, there is another thread https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/there-is-something-very-very-wrong-with-today’s-music.36342/
where I mentioned that so much modern 'classical' music sounds like somebody throwing a piano down the stairs. No melody, no tune, just plink plonk crash.
Why? who knows, maybe these modern composers think it's too infra-dig to compose something that people can hum along to! If it's incomprehensible, it must be deep.
Sophomorism at its finest! Both artists and listeners can fall for it!

That was wonderful. Thank you.I went and transcribed the interview and ran the result through Google Translate. It's not perfect, but hopefully it does make some sense:
Maybe there is something in it for you.
Happy to provide clarification if needed.

I've enjoyed the Boulez/Swingles version for decades, I'll have to check out this surround version!This is one of my all-time favorite movements in music!! I like it best (on recording) in a 5.1 SACD from the Seattle Symphony Orchestra and the voices of "Roomful of Teeth!" At the live performance, the singers/speakers were distributed around the hall and, at home, I hear them all around me, some at a distance and some quite close. The whole thing is a delightful rip through many familiar themes (from Mahler and others) and it makes great sense to me.
The Berio/NYP/Swingle on Columbia recording was the premier of the 4 movement version and the Boulez on Erato was also with the Swingle Singers but included a 5th movement that Berio had added in the interim. Of course, the original Columbia and the Erato were stereo but none have the visceral impact of the multichannel SSO. I say that as someone who enjoys many of the recordings of this piece. (A sleeper is the Eötvös/Gothenburg on DGG/Decca.)
Which I guess makes samurai sauce a crime against humanity...People like mayonnaise, which is barbaric.
Beyond a doubt.Which I guess makes samurai sauce a crime against humanity...
