Conlon Nancarrow, Study for
Player Piano
This was a very interesting and weird song to listen to. It sounds like
someone was bored and just started playing random keys on the piano. There was
no real structure to this at all other than playing progressively faster or
moving from the left keys to the right.
Robert Ashley - Perfect Lives
Not really what the purpose of
this is. I can’t tell if it’s a song or just some guy doing a very long monologue.
Overall I think this is very bizarre due to its randomness and the repetitive
pressing of the piano keys.
Midori Takada - Through the
Looking Glass
I enjoyed this piece quite a
bit. It’s very relaxing and soothing to the ears with its nature sounds and the
simplicity of the instruments. This song sounds like it would be perfect for a
documentary of animals or places in the world.
Laurie Anderson - O Superman
At first I was mildly disturbed
and scarred of this piece. However, as the song progressed I liked it in a
weird way. Like this song kind of grows on you and ends up being soothing. I
like the synthetic sounds from the background instruments and the robotic noises
from the singer. The only thing I didn’t really like about this piece is when
she was just talking to the voicemail, I feel like it ruins it.
