I set out to find today’s selection, intending to listen to some interesting modern classical or experimental music and, a few dozen clicks down the road, I came across the collaboration between The Flying Lizards and minimalist pianist and composer Michael Nyman entitled “Hands 2 Take.” Fourth Wall features some experimental noise-making, but there are also some very powerful, cinematic moments as well. I’m sure it’s been stated here before (and I should probably put a little more thought into my posts than I do), but the road to the daily selection is just as important as where it leads me. Very often, I’ll be bookmarking other artists that I come across for future posts, so this process, while sometimes tedious, is also frequently very rewarding. It’s also a great reason to temporarily extricate myself from the bottomless pit of misery that our daily news feeds present to us.
