4th June: Philip Lipton's Soundcloud

11th May 2013: Dutilleux's going to die on the 22nd May

7th May 2013: Nils Frahm, More and Screws

6th May 2013: Peter Broderick, Human Eye-balls on Toast

I found this through reading about Zoe Keating (in fact a Youtube user who says this guy is better.)
I don't want to compare. I love that old piano, not sure how I feel about the singing about battery farming though. I give it a lot of credit for being both funny and sad, that's for sure.

5th May 2013: Zoë Keating cello looping

This Radiolab episode is how I found out about her.

8th April 2013: More from the Penguin Café Orchestra

Some tracks were in this playlist.


Their Soundcloud



Here's an album:

5th April 2013: Luz Y Norte

Harp music of the Italian Renaissance.
I love the whole album but could only find one track.



These are others by the same guy (composer?), one of which (the last one) is French troubadour music.

4th April 2013 : Two individual movie themed tracks tracks

From the Costes Etage 3 cd:


From the soundtrack of Project Nim:

16th March 2013: Anna Meredith

3rd March 2013 : Arvo Part

2nd March 2013 : John Adams Century Rolls

24th January 2013: Le Voyage dans La Lune - Air

I interviewed Air when this album came out, so I feel a special desire to blog the playlist.





The music was, you'll be please to know, the soundtrack for this film:

23rd January 2013 : Three Kraftwerk albums

16th January 2013 : Nyman's Greenaway soundtracks

12th January 2013 : Philip Glass

I remember being shocked by how manipulative and magical the music in the Hours was. But I definitely did not know who Philip Glass was when I saw that in English class in 2005.

I'd like to say my first encounter with Philip Glass went like this: I was in Florence in 2007 and went for a walk. There was a free concert on the main square. I sat and listened and thought up the whole plot for a short film (that ended up being not so good). But the real man was there. The first time I heard Philip Glass, I also saw him play (with out glasses (ha ha?), from a distance, and also presumably not the first time).

The first 3 tracks on the playlist were, according to sources mentioned on wikipedia, inspired by an Eno/Bowie album.

I'll shut up. Here's your damn playlist for today.

2nd January 2013 : Glenn Kotche, Mobile

I found out about this guy thanks to Boil the Frog , a website where you can go from A to B in music, and I think I went from Beethoven to Bowie or something and it was logical for the poor machine to go via this guy. But so much for discovery: turns out I already knew about Glenn Kotche as I'd heard him in his more mainstream act, Wilco. Anyhow, I liked his solo stuff so I found what I could on Grooveshark.
