Moronic music.
I had a Tafelmusik rehearsal tonight to prepare for the Soundstreams concert this weekend. I know I'm not the only one who thinks the commissioned piece is a piece of $*@#-%!~@. No really... that's what it sounds like! Besides the panting, grunting, hissing, shouting and tone clusters, there really isn't much to the work. Luckily we only have to perform it once. *whew* (If anyone wants to subject themselves, concert information can be found here. If it's any consolation, at least my hair looked good today ;) I picked up a couple of magazines for Tiff for her fashion class project. One of the ones was Harper's Bazaar, since our Victorian paper dolls were from that catelog/ magazine. My goodness! After watching 3 seasons of AMTM, I have some idea of the work that goes into getting a great photo, and it isn't easy. The photo spreads in the magazine are incredible! Absolutely stunning photography, beautiful models, and fabulous couture. Eye candy, seriously! When I was coming home on the subway I ran into one of the girls I worked with last summer at Jacob. She was only there for about 2 weeks for her management training, but we remembered each other and we chatted for the whole ride. It was a chance encounter, but it was really nice to meet up with her again.
No, this is just atonal ugliness that the composer got paid $$$ for. -__-"
