I’d like to think that in such a scenario P. Townshend would come to recognize at least one commonality shared by the Who and the Dead -- both bands had one of the best-ever Rock rhythm guitar players.
Let's talk music, no genre boundaries
This is an offshoot of the jazz thread. I and others found that we could not talk about jazz without discussing other musical genres, as well as the philosophy of music. So, this is a thread in which people can suggest good music of all genres, and spout off your feelings about music itself.

An interesting link between cymatics, a lake, a speaker, Schumann resonators... https://x.com/SocraticScribe/status/1965434358782984700 By the way i use battery Schumann resonators all along my gear electrical grid filters, connectors and dac. I even use one for a better sleep ... It add to the listener envelopment and sound width balance ratio to sound immersive experience... "objectivist" audiophile will call that "placebo" ... Any ideologue is deluded by his belief...i prefer experiments and thinking ... |
Interesting about the speaker floating in water. The waves it creates look like record grooves. I'm sure you've all made a paper cone and put a needle through it, then played it on an old beatup record. The paper cone translates the grooves into music, just like speakers receiving an electric signal. |
greetings & kind regards a few random thoughts : taste is a matter of taste . always of interest what others consider pleasing and of quality . when a child i heard Elvis Presly on the house radio the size of a small refrigerator and decided to myself i will never choose to listen to such common music . it seems i was born a snob . it perhaps may be of scientific / psychological / sociological interest to note traditional Japanese music in particular Kabuki is not accepted in West however the opposite is not true as Beethoven etc. are there listened to or so i assume . re/ taste i can not not listen to Chopin Preludes . also first few Chicago albums all day long baby . as for pianists i inquire of @audio-b-dog your thoughts on the incomparable Yuja Wang as you are obviously more knowledgeable than myself . i myself laugh out loud in astonishment at her pyrotechniques . .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVpnr8dI_50 unfortunately i have attended few live concerts . Beethoven V Chicago Symphony front row seats . Beethoven IX Des Moines Symphony . Cat Stevens balcony seats . Drake University Orchestra balcony seats unfortunately i do not recall piece other than it was Classical . i relate this to note the most enjoyable by far was the Drake University Orchestra performance so much so i stood and shouted "Bravo !" by coincidence one of the violists was a student of another grad student and upon conversation stated re/ prior evenings’ performance "Someone in attendance shouted Bravo." . i confessed to her doing so . it seems to me youthful presentation ore imbued w/ a certain quality also in the visual arts which i are regularly organized and presented near former home in Chicago . cheers |
It is impossible not to admire and love her...
I admire and love her for sure... Once this is said his virtuosity takes all the place and this maybe a problem. I like as much if not more some other pianists which are not so technically gifted... But my observation is not intended to be a critic of her genius, just to remark that virtuosity can put a veil sometimes on the music ... But she is the most talented pianist i heard these last years ...
Music is not about walking fast or slow in the right tracks but about breathing... |
