Michael Stuart Kelly Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Postmodern Music Done Right I don't like postmodern art except when I do. The following is a way to do postmodern music right. Come on, it's cute. This reminds me of a postmodern work by a Brazilian composer, Gilberto Mendes, I always thought funny. (I performed some of his works as a trombonist and I would see this one at the concerts.) He once wrote a duet for operatic soprano and weight lifter. The singer improvised on the soprano melodies of death scenes from different operas and the weight lifter, wearing only a tiny spandex swim suit (in a leopard pattern during one of the concerts I saw), would do his reps with a full set of weights on stage. The guy who usually performed had huge muscles and made no sounds other than iron being put on the floor each time he was done with a set of reps. That was funny. Otherwise, Gilberto's music is crap. That's a quip, but it's true. He's now deceased... Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Stuart Kelly Posted June 18 Author Share Posted June 18 I can no longer remember the video above, but it is now missing. The old account at Twitter went bye-bye--suspended actually. If anyone remembers what this video was, please let me know and I will try to find it and put it here so the opening post of this thread doesn't look retarded. On another front, I found the perfect Post Modern rock music. It's music from the surface of a rock. Somebody made a phonograph that can read rocks. Then filmed it. Actually, it's kinda atmospheric. I can see where it can be used in a film or video... Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Stuart Kelly Posted June 18 Author Share Posted June 18 btw - As I said, the video (Twitter) account for the video in the opening post was suspended and I no longer remember the video. However, in 2022, this poster, Figen, started posting on Twitter (X) again under a new account. She is followed by many people who I follow, so I am sure this is the same person. She posts too many videos--and repeats too many--to jog my memory, but her selection is quirky in a manner I like. Check her out if you have time.
