What Are You Listening to Now 7.0

Usually don't care for Becky G in her own stuff because her own style is 'candy pop' with lots of dancing in latex or lingerie. But anytime she does Romanticas with one of the 'Mexican Regional' (basically Mexico's version of country music) singers we get to see that she actually has a good voice.

“I wanted to hear the resonance,” he said. “I want to have less notes and more spaces. Spaces, not silence. Space is resonant, is still ringing. I want to enjoy that resonance, to hear it growing.”

Rest in Peace. Your music lives on.

I do have a bit of a musical background, I used to sing before my lungs gave out, and I did play some piano.
I absolutely love it when someone takes a piece of classical music and has some fun with it
Here's Moonlight Sonata with a Dubstep Remix tossed in for fun

That's something I grew up with, thanks @Handley_Page!

Kubrick used his music for his films. He summons mind-paintings if you close your eyes. An acquired taste for sure, but worth a listen. It’s a wonderful experience in imagination, if you allow your mind to run free.

Joe.

I have two favorite composer Joes: Raposo and Hisaishi

Joe Raposo composed most of the music that first appeared on Sesame Street, some of which was later covered by popular musicians who turned it into major hits. My personal favorite is "Bein' Green" by Ray Charles:

Though I think Shirley Horn's derivative is even more transcendent:

There are so many more, including the theme music for "Three's Company" (which I never liked, but bless him anyway) and "Sesame Street" itself. Not my other favorite Sesame Street song, however: "Rainbow Connection". And then there's this (can't do Sesame Street without a little silliness):

Joe Hisaishi (Mamoru Fujisawa) composed much of the music for Hayao Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli, including personal favorites My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and Howl's Moving Castle. I didn't know he was also a conductor, but here he is conducting a huge orchestra and choir playing his music for two hours in front of an enormous and rapturous audience in one of the world's largest indoor music venues. He also plays piano:

The most memorable moment for me is at 1:34:40, when all four female vocalists who'd featured in separate songs earlier come out and sing in sequence, and together. One is a young schoolgirl. All have dramatically different styles and voices.

For those who don't already know, Miyazaki's films (and Hisaishi's music) were a major inspiration for Pixar.

I'm sure there are other wonderful "Joe" composers, but these two are my personal pantheon.

Silence.

How does one acquire such a thing?

 

[KeithD]

How does one acquire such a thing?

2:00 a.m. in the most remote room of a house on a ridge protected from street noise by trees and foliage; no pets anymore and children long gone. I write best to silence. Even if I start with music, I get so engrossed in the writing that it goes silent in the room while I'm writing. If I have music on, it has to be instrumental because I'm a singer and will be distracted by any vocals.

Miyazaki’s one of my heroes and for me is one of the greatest cinematic legends who’s ever lived. The scenes where he’d capture a landscape and just move the blades of grass or the clouds - glorious. Strangely, I never looked up his composer - I was probably too enraptured by the imagery and stories. Saved Hisaishi’s composition and will look up more. It’s divine, thank you!
