I said it before I’ll say it again. The variety of aesthetics on the channel and the respect you give to these works is incredible. Much love and yes I’m biased in this particular case. However if anyone browses through just even 10 videos on this channel, almost none will share the same aesthetic tendencies. All right back to relaxing this Sunday 😅
Glad you appreciate it! I do try to avoid repeating a composer too much at least. Maybe the common aesthetic to the music I post is I tend to favor music with bright timbres (perhaps my taste is conservative haha), and I love music that can really manipulate and create new timbres, which can manifest in a lot of ways
@@Cmaj7 i'd love a score video of Limited Approximations - it's an amazing work and how it works is well clarified by the score - amazing "melting pianos" moments
Haas to me is always simultaneously wonderful and awe-inspiring in the sound masses he manages to create, yet also I constantly get the sense that he takes too long with everything.
Thank you so much! This one is amongst my personal favourites of Haas, it really feels like a journey... I especially love the part where the cluster dissipates and give rise to an ominous c chord, which feels like one of the rare but oh so beautiful places where Haas' music has a "minor" quality, and the ascending e flat harmonic series on the solo double bass... As someone else rightfully pointed out in another video of the piece, it feels extremely... human. It's a struggle, a journey in itself, it takes your breath away and reminds you that, in the end, we all live and face the same struggles and challenges. Love it so much
Wow. Terrifying, awe-inspiring, arresting, fascinating, beautiful in ways I've never heard before. Incredible, just... wow. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful piece
@@msruag Here we go: The three-time divorcee Haas is the dominant partner in a BDSM* kink relationship with his wife, the American sex-educator Mollena Williams-Haas who is 15 years his junior. She is African-American, by the way, so it's a white man dominating a black woman, and to spice things up, Haas' parents were literal Nazis (Haas has decidedly distanced himself from his parents and any form of extremist thought) who physically abused him as a child, whereas she is descended from slaves and a recovering alcoholic. Apparently they met on a dating-website where Haas was searching for a woman he could "tame" and she responded. There was a 96-minute long movie made about the two of them titled "The Artist & The Pervert", in which Haas spends some screen-time in the nude (you can watch the trailers on youtube). *BDSM is a variety of often erotic practices or roleplaying involving bondage, discipline, dominance and submission, sadomasochism, and other related interpersonal dynamics. (Wikipedia) All that being said, Haas is an absolutely phenomenal composer (albeit a bit hit-and-miss in my opinion) and he seems to be a very decent person.
The piece contrasts the perfect consonances of justly tuned harmonic series and the chaos created by mixing them with each other and with traditionally tuned chords, and imo the result is gorgeous
@@TravisGlover-TheArtfulDodger This stuff isn't just "contemprary classical music" (much of which is American trash). This is part of an highly creative and uniquely innovative reinterpretation of the meaning of music altogether that is obtains a profundity yet to be fully grasped by the bulk of its listeners.

Indeed

Astounding job on the part of Klangforum Wien on this one.

This is absolutely amazing. Well... pretty much as usual in case of Haas. Will you do create more scorevideos of his precious works?
yet another GF Haas banger
It reminds me a little bit Xenakis
better than Xenakis for me XD

@@James-ll3jb Don't ask.

I also have some modernist music wanna listen?
Someone please explain, why?
spectralism.

@JohnPanagiotou (?)
