Erki Kurenniemi on
Ubu.com Ubu.com is a site where you can get
inspired for years! But what a pity that it’s almost impossible to
see and to listen to all the material there. A particularly
interesting page for me is the one on Erki Kurenniemi, an
incredible Finnish electronic music pioneer who is still almost
unknown.
Mnozil
Brass I just love them! They're an 'applied brass
music' ensemble that I saw live a few weeks ago and it was
incredible. Check out their "Premier" here and don’t
miss seeing them on stage if you have the chance.
Film Sound
Cliches Here you’ll find all the sounds you
have never searched for: "Film Sound Stereotypes and Common Logic
Flaws".
Iannis
Xenakis This is the where you can find
almost all information regarding the work of composer Iannis
Xenakis.
Guy
Reibel: Suite pour Edgar Poë: Ombre Guy
Reibel is one of the most underestimated of the French GRM
(Groupe
de Recherches Musicales) composers. His hilarious release,
Variations En Étoile/Deux Études Aux Modulations/Suite Pour
Edgar Poe, is available
here, but check out all of his music!
Marx Brothers: A
Day At The Races Humour is a question of
timing but in the Marx Brothers' A Day At The Races you
also find one of the first real inside-piano players, where Harpo
Marx turns the piano into an harp and plays Rachmaninoff. Also, if
you're a beginner with the work of the Marx Brothers, then there's
this site for
beginners.
Werner
Schroeter Whether you are interested in film or
not, check out the work of the late German director Werner
Schroeter, especially his unscripted opera Abfallprodukte Der
Liebe (Love's Debris) from 1996. Great cinema, great
music!
