Conlon Nancarrow, Study for Player Piano- not sure how i feel about this one. it took a lot of focusing to listen to everything that was going on it was hard to visualize or put yourself in any sort of head space. There was a back an forth between really loud fast and cluttered to slow quiet no rhythmic sounds. There was sort of a pattern like for a split second the piano makes a nice rhythmic sound than quickly adds on and repeats until its no longer coherent then it slows down and then starts again.
Robert Ashley - Perfect Lives- the bar- this one was slightly comedic. his voice didnt pace well with the background music but both rhythms where clear but i couldnt listen to both at the same time. im not sure what he was talking about it seems very random and the background music changes grabbed my attention and away from what he was saying. it seems like he was making jokes like in a comedy club or something.
Midori Takada - Through The Looking Glass- full of ambiance and high pitched complementary noises. i heard some ancient asia inspired tunes. felt like i was going through a trance. it got repetitive alot of the time but i know that was part of the trance experience but i was trying not to get lost in it. some of the ambiance sound seeped inside my head and made my ears hurt while wearing headphones
Laurie Anderson - O Superman -in a strange way i liked this. the honking"ha" in the background was annoying but her singing was nice. The song was very cryptic and mysterious. very unique and seems alot shorter to listen to than it actually was.
