Symphony No. 5: Gustav mahler

I am lucky enough to live in a city with a phenomenal symphony that does student discounts. The Romantic era of classical is my favorite and Mahler never disappoints. Hearing this live healed me. Check out the adagietto movement if you can’t sit through the whole thing.

Rick Burkhardt‘s passover

Today, he came to give a talk in my composition forum. Super interesting person and a genius creative. His work explores a lot of a grey area between music and theater. This specific piece left an impression on me during his presentation.

Japanese Walking Competition Videos

I could watch these for hours. It’s like a magic trick or optical illusion. And I can't imagine what the rehearsals are like.

The Sacred Idol by Les Baxter

The Sacred Idol is a gorgeously cinematic soundtrack that was made for a movie that was never released. It’s mysterious and fantastical. It transports you to some other imaginary dimension. I suggest you avoid looking at pictures of Les Baxter as this may ruin the music for you. The genre of exotica is kinda fucked up mashing up disperate cultures of South America, Africa, the Southeast Asia and the Levant without having any knowledge of the cultures. I’m half Peruvian-half Lebanese, so I too am a mashup of disparate cultures. There must be some metaphor within exotica for people like me. Growing up 1st gen American never feeling fully connected to either of my ethnicities and maybe I relate to this pictorial version of “exotic” cultures.
