Laurie Anderson "O Superman"
I thought it was kind of cool that the lyrics are basically a telephone conversation and how she changes her voice to be different people speaking. The music video seems more like a performance piece than an actual music video. It's interesting how she uses a light to make a silhouette of her arm and hand.
Midori Takada "Though the Looking Glass"
Its very slow and relaxing. It sounds like the music that you would hear if you went to a spa. I like how the flutes sound like birds at some points. However it does pick up a little bit later on but it does slow down again. The instruments do make the music seem very surreal.
Robert Ashley "Perfect Lives"
The whole song feels like a story told over lounge piano music. It kind of caught me off guard when the woman appears in the background. I'm not too sure how i'm supposed to take this.
Conlon Nancarrow "Studies for Player Piano No .37
the beginning sounds like when little kids decide to mess around on a piano but other times it sounds like multiple pianists playing different songs at the same time. The title of this piece is different since you would think it would be piano player and not player piano. I guess its written for the pianos that play themselves. Over all I kind of like it in general.
