Steven Wilson - Live

In addition to his original compositions, Steven Wilson is also known for remixing albums by other artists.

One of his remixes is Fragile by Yes; and here is .

It's very different; one might say it's reimagined.  I like it.  Some of the changes are a bit jarring; some are beautiful.  But it's like listening to a very familiar song through different eyes (as opposed to ears); ie you see the song from a very different perspective.  And it's new again.

And here is from Close To The Edge as remixed by Steven Wilson.  I like this one too!

Nice Fish video.  The sound quality of the video is good and her playing comes through nicely.

I Liked the simplicity of it. Three people who were just doing what they like doing.

Almost forgot, The Steve Wilson, interesting! First time hearing it.

BASta!2 - Vertigo.  Joris Vanvinckenroye on Double Bass.  Great Looping!  He is also the Bassist for the Belgian group - Aranis.  There is also a bit of flute too.

Steven Wilson has grown on me.  I first heard him with Porcupine Tree, which immediately got my attention.  And some of the things he's done since have increased my appreciation.

Nice piece; and I like the building they're playing in!

Been using my wife's car to commute to work lately, she had Annie Lennox - Songs of Mass Destruction in it last night...


I never heard this album of hers before - I like it.  :-D

It's somewhat surprising that one of my favorite musicians is someone this young, but there is maturity and mastery in both his playing and composing; and it's stuff that I like listening to.

Wow, David, I really like that Joey Alexander piece, thanks for sharing!

One of the comments tickled me... "too young to be a jazz cat = jazz kitten."


Rediscovering the joy of playing with a pick on the T-I Jazz Rounds of my old Distillate this week, I finally tore into the Trans-Siberian Orchestra Christmas CD's. I'll spare you all the linkage.

Trippy!

A quick search finds that the keyboard player is an original member of the band, and the band has been around since 1968, off and on.  According to Wikipedia, their first album "came with a warning label that insisted you should "only listen once a day to this record. Your brain might be destroyed," which led to the album being banned in several countries including the USA".

Wow!  I was surprised because I was heavily into euro psychedelic bands from the 70s and hadn't heard them before. New jeopardy category lol. That song came over the radio channel I was listening to and ba-zing! What the heck moment that was.

Stefanie, thanks for sharing that.  I also have never heard of Brainticket.  They are added to my "list".

This the greatest thread on the whole WWW.  So much to glean from here.  Sometimes things resonate deeply, sometimes they slide off, but the fundamental take away is a broadening horizon of Music.

Music is magic.  Those that "get it", like us here, appreciate artistic endeavors of others and sometimes it makes us giggle, cry, reflect, bounce, bop and run around the room. 

A while back my niece had her first choir performance at the college she is attending, she also did a dance performance.  It was streamed live, a large choir, 100+ voices, full orchestra and their finale was Oh Come All Ye Faithful....  old tired, played out, heard it a thousand times...

BUT

They nailed it, and near the end of the song the camera pans the singing heads and there is a woman singing with tears streaming down her cheeks, the camera continues panning and the woman next to her is caught with a sob gasping out of her throat as she holds on - and I am sobbing, caught in the present moment and relishing the raw passion. And THAT is what music is, not the notes on the paper but that deep reaching, soul stirring feeling.

And hence this thread allows me to dabble in other arenas and it is truly appreciated.



Thanks to all that contribute to this thread.
