More music!

Building on the last post, here are a few projects, bands or tracks that I've been greatly enjoying of late and have some connection to Stockhausen's music. Well, maybe only some of these tracks are relevant to Stockhausen, but they rock none the less! 

First up, a relatively recent discovery of mine: Æthenor

With members or Ulver, Sunn O))) and others, I knew this was going to be great from the moment I saw the vibrant blue cover of their album En Form For Blå. Though, I really didn't know what to expect at all. I was pleased from the moment the needle hit the white vinyl. Here, enjoy some live footage and hear for yourself!

Up next, a longstanding favorite: Ulver

I've been a fan of this band and their many evolutions since hearing their first album, Bergtatt. From Black Metal to Electronica and Jazz to Experimental Industrial and finally to whatever you would call them now, this band has kept its fans guessing, and pleasantly surprised. Enjoy a few tracks from their corpus!

Finally, I'll leave you with something from one of my favorite Soviet composers: Dmitri Dmitriyevich Shostakovich

Whether conjuring scenes of Cossacks riding over the Steppe or writing music for more formal occasion, Shostakovich is a powerful and gifted composer. I'll just let the music speak for him on this one!
