Gravity Is Very Compelling

C. Reider — Tue, 15 May 2012 02:49:57 +0000

The April release from Vuzh Music is by the Utah composer Ross Hagen known by the recording name Encomiast.
-

-
This dark, atmospheric plunge into an unending abyss was composed as the backing music to a staged production of the play “Eurydice”. The artist describes: “The play is retelling of the Orpheus myth from the point of view of Eurydice. The piece attempts to roughly parallel the play’s 3-movement plot structure, moving from our world, to the underworld, and finally to the tragic meeting of the two.”

"I think that creative work and commerce are opposites." – Jeph Jerman #
wooooops. I'm glad I caught that error before publishing! #
@paniq Actually, I disagree that the lines are so blurry in this case. I'm on board with Jeph on this one. in reply to paniq #
@paniq … Although there is art that uses commerce as material and subject matter, there the lines blur. in reply to paniq #
@paniq I think the motivation for wanting to be liked or admired by people is probably different than that of wanting to have their money. in reply to paniq #
@invisibleagent You got it, man. I think it's important to share cool, possibly overlooked netlabel stuff. in reply to invisibleagent #

@paniq I think of it in terms of the creative act and its motivations and the commercial act and its motivations. 1/2 in reply to paniq #
@paniq In that sense, I think to say they are opposites is not such a radical idea. in reply to paniq #
@paniq No I missed the link earlier. I just loaded the page and will read it after dinner. in reply to paniq #
@paniq My view is that the need to create and the need to share are completely separate. in reply to paniq #
@paniq In other words, I create my work with the knowledge that it will be shared, not BECAUSE it will be shared. in reply to paniq #

@blocsonic Let's see, I have the Polina Voronova one, I think I have (or had) the 833-45 and Astrowind releases. in reply to blocsonic #
@blocsonic One other clue would probably be LiveJournal, they used to announce releases there-I'll try to find the link, might be deprecated in reply to blocsonic #

I'm listening to a few old releases by the AudioTong label: http://t.co/I4i6wXaJ #

@Mixgalaxy Did you send the Polina Voronova one, that's the only one I can find so far (will look on older hard drives) in reply to Mixgalaxy #
