I played this in bed, and as I turned my head, there was my cat standing, looking at me while the first D flat of the first movement came out through my phone.
My god I love this so much, there's a bit of spectral music as well as some sacred music, and a touch of Penderecki. It's all I like! Thanks so muuuuch. I just discovered this composer.
Just found out about him, too. Plan on listening to everything I can get my hands on...he reminds of Ligeti and Grisey, but is defintely his own genius...
Actually, the reverse happened. Grisey and Murail met Scelsi in Villa Medicis, Roma, and they were fascinated by him. The impression of sacred music is right: Scelsi was deeply insipired by Asian philosophy and religions (India, buddhism), both as a composer and a writer.
Wow. Listening to this evoked the sudden memory of hearing Ligeti's music when I saw the original cinema release of 2001: A Space Odyssey back in 1968. (I was seven, it was scary!)
Eccezionale... immaginifica... stratosferica... una composizione così non la poteva scrivere che Giacinto Scelsi... un grande maestro, un grande artigiano della musica!!!
Wowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowow... I've been a fan of Penderecki since I was a teenager and saw The Shining for the first time, but this is something much different. This has a much stronger structure. Not as chaotic. But goth af lol. My friend who recommended this to me, said it sounds like ghosts trying to escape purgatory! And he was right!
@Mickey Farley That' not what I meant. I was saying that compared to how freaky Penderecki's work was that was used in The Shining, this is way more unsettling.

It's background music. You are correct on both guesses. Thanks for playing, and don't forget to collect your participation trophy on the way out the door... (No, you really don't understand...)
More like Scelsi and other composers in the mi-20th century were trying to explore parts of music that hadn’t up until the World Wars been explored in Western Classical musical tradition. Scelsi and others were trying to make music that, while not necessarily pleasing to the ear, created an atmosphere or evoked emotions reminiscent of the pleasing or soothing atmosphere and emotions created by earlier music. Whereas Bach’s music created the perfect environment for religious expression and Satie’s music lulled listeners to oceans of calm, composers like Scelsi tried to scare or unsettle listeners. They made their music sound slightly “off,” but in a way that still followed earlier traditions. The music purposefully used known musical techniques in novel ways, creating music that if isolated to certain groups of notes might actually be pleasing to the ear. These pieces are technically great because they achieve their goal of evoking a purposeful emotion. That they fit into scary movies so well is a byproduct of these guys understanding how to unsettle their listeners.
@@WizardSand9 Excellent response! I was pretty underwhelmed when I first listened to this, but now I can think of many movies and TV Shows that have been influenced by these sort of scores
Good Lord, what a piece! This is excellence.
It would be soooo cool to program 3 pieces in one concert. This, Ligeti's Requiem, and Penderecki's Passion!
absolutely agree
that's what they did at the beginning of "doom: hell on earth"
I've never seen this with the score-what a goldmine!!
I just love this kind of music where there isn´t a melody, just an atmospheric sound
This is the recording by Jürg Wyttenbach with the Polish radio orchestra of Krakow.
This is a spiritual experience. Bravo, Scelsi. Bravissimo.

I now think of that every time I hear that entry and every time I love the image.
I think your cat is posessed
Late reply, but Cats guard your soul from demons. It was probably going "why u mak my jerb hard!?"
My god I love this so much, there's a bit of spectral music as well as some sacred music, and a touch of Penderecki. It's all I like! Thanks so muuuuch. I just discovered this composer.
I heard 2 minutes and felt in love, damn
Just found out about him, too. Plan on listening to everything I can get my hands on...he reminds of Ligeti and Grisey, but is defintely his own genius...

Rather in Penderecki's sonorism there is a lot of Scelsi.
One of his best pieces, nice to see the score too.
This is probably a soundtrack for you when you're entering the hell
Thank you for this gift! Amazing work.
I'm absolutely in love with this music! What an amazing find. Thank you so much for sharing the score with us, it's a real treasure!
Wow. Listening to this evoked the sudden memory of hearing Ligeti's music when I saw the original cinema release of 2001: A Space Odyssey back in 1968. (I was seven, it was scary!)
Have liked this piece forever. It's actually amazing you found the score to go with it. Kudos.
Thanks for posting, great music! Very inspiring. I really love the rituality and the melancholy of the music .
Just incredible! Thank you for sharing this.
Un grande mistico!
pure genius
What an amazing piece of music, thanks so much for sharing with the score!!
meraviglioso..................
Eccezionale... immaginifica... stratosferica... una composizione così non la poteva scrivere che Giacinto Scelsi... un grande maestro, un grande artigiano della musica!!!
Ma non l'ha scritta lui. Non ha scritto proprio nulla delle musiche che gli sono attribuite.
@@krantiyatri2107 Chiunque tu sia, prima di sparare cazzate a vanvera informati bene!!!www.scelsi.it/it/home/
What a masterpiece!
Oh wow! Thank you for sharing
thanks for this. very grateful.
so great
now this is metal!
Who else is here because they found out about this from the score to Shutter Island?

the beginning alone is epic :D
Scelsi INSUPERABILE questa è musica attualissima ed è stata scritta nel 1969, oggi tutti i compositori non fanno altro che fargli il "verso".
Esagerato! E comunque non l'ha scritta lui.
It's a shame that my screen's resolution is too low for me to make out the finer details of the score.
incredible! thanks so much for the upload.
awesome

also bad grammar
Where is this recording from?
I wish I could read this better...translation aside(!)
.that.
_Bloodborne intensifies_
Sirenhead!
I don’t understand, is this actually music or just a background for scary movies
You understood
Is important?
It's background music. You are correct on both guesses. Thanks for playing, and don't forget to collect your participation trophy on the way out the door... (No, you really don't understand...)
