Re: [microsound] RIP Gyorgi Ligeti - Jupiter and beyond the infinite

[Graham Miller <grahammiller@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

easily a century ahead of his time and a genius among geniuses.

i must admit, it was 2001 that got me into his compositions, but  
without that film i would have never known his brilliance outside of  
pop culture.

some of the most inspiring, scary, terrifying, beautiful,  
disembodying, intense, embryonic,  futuristic, three dimensional,  
dynamic, revolutionary, psychotic, visual music known to the planet.

go and buy all the berlin recordings now.  and turn off the lights  
and listen.

jupiter and beyond the infinite,

graham
