WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

Symphonic Glitch?

Posted over 2 years ago
Anyone who is interested in Avant Garde music and "Electronica" (for lack of a better, more encompassing term) is aware of Aphex Twin and his many side projects. It is possible he could be referenced when describing "difficult music" better than any other. A 20-member chamber orchestra known as Alarm Will Sound put out an album called Acoustica. This was a recording of arrangements of Aphex Twin pieces for chamber orchestra. KNowing something about the production method and techniques Aphex Twin employs, I was fascinated to discover this. A co-worker where I used to work, shared this with me. It is among the most interesting music in my collection, and I do have some significant oddities.

  1. Bartleby says Really interesting. I've always admired Aphex Twin's versatile talents. It reminds of some of Moondog's orchestral music. Thanks for posting
