No, rather, it’s not fair to torment him while he’s absent. It’s not my style. Don’t be goody-goody and call him out because I used to have fun back then. It wasn’t exactly nonsense or inaccuracies, it was something else, which I will return to, in case our topic comes up again, to highlight, in deference to the aforementioned "style" issue. Kisses

Come on, you have more spark than that scoundrel. I miss it just a little. He used to say a lot of nonsense. Well, maybe push him a bit, who knows if he’ll come back. Ah, anyway, you didn't understand: when I was talking about the stage, I meant that this isn't the right place to discuss "In C," I’m waiting for your review on that. I wasn’t referring to any supposed issues of theatricality. Yes, I don't deny that you "experience" certain things, I even specified the difference in understandings, but often in certain appreciations you give the highest ratings to works for which your emotional involvement doesn't come through. Quite impressive, eh. Well, regarding TONTO, I say Moog, if I feel like it and have some time, I’ll think about it. In the meantime, maybe look for something.

...but let's talk about serious things: any news about Renzo B testosterone? You who were the adoptive father? What happened to him? Is he coming back?

You say: "When faced with a work capable of presenting such a vast vision, I don’t feel like being an accountant, pretending to reduce everything to my personal tastes." regarding In Do... indeed, you allow yourself to be captivated by the complexity of the work. Which is remarkable, I assure you. But have you lived it? I haven’t. You are more of an accountant when you think you’re not than the other way around. And anyway, I will never write anything about "In C." If you want, I could write a pamphlet about a monumental album like the first from TONTO's expanding, which is also innovative; at least there’s a pleasurable side to it. Music therapy was just a way to put it, but this last note fits quite well. You should write about "In C," as soon as possible. Don’t waste time on minutiae and acting modestly, because this is not the stage to broaden your range of action.

Me, and luckily you couldn't do it, hehe. Anyway, thank goodness you explained yourself a bit with the second post, because in the first one there’s that second sentence that’s really confusing which I didn't understand. Interesting album, indeed, innovative. But it seems to me my right to complain about the lack of certain aspects that I usually look for in a work, and that aren’t necessarily innovation or the element of surprise. Your take on the vulgarization of trips is nice, well done: I respect that. Regarding the epigones: the fact that they haven’t said anything interesting is your opinion. I’ve always had the modest impression that you don't "live" music, or at least not in the way I do. Upon first reading my impressions, you might say, "What does that mean," but if you reflect on it for a moment, you'll understand me. I cheer, and I cheer, I listen to certain pieces of the things I proposed to you and I get quite moved. But who cares about the innovative aspect of this and other works of Riley, I let myself be influenced by something else and I believe that the "emotional impact" that certain stuff has on my listening is worth all the highest votes of confidence in this world. But what a complex and complicated thing. Who cares about that too.

...among other things, Glass also worked on the melodic aspect of minimalism, but with a cut-and-paste style that is often exhausting and repetitive, akin to the works of the masters.

Some useless considerations on minimalism. A few days ago, I was talking with a decent pianist passionate about Mozart about music therapy. Where did this story come from? Who knows. Can we believe in music therapy? Ah, who knows. However, at one point he said something that made me think. "Music therapy experiments have shown how listening to musicians like Mozart helps in overcoming diseases and comas. These are the melodic structures that have a therapeutic foundation, not the minimalistic and repetitive music of people like Riley and Glass, which belongs to the new-age genre." In short, minimalism is not music therapeutic. But I said to him: "Forget about Glass's Musicaindodiciparti and Riley's rainbow, and let him listen to Struggle for Pleasure, because that too is minimalism, and it's more pleasant. You'll see that someone will wake up from the coma."

This record is important, right. Nice no.

Intrinsic problems with your rebuttal: 1) "Minimalism is one of the few 'new' visions of the 20th century": okay, fine, but where's the justification for why this album deserves the highest rating from you? No offense, but frankly, in your posts you haven't expressed any motivation, and if you read it back, I'll have a point, won't I? So decode your excitement, I'm curious. 2) "Melodic intentions of generations of epigones?"... yes, we do address that: it’s not written anywhere that those who start the genre should be venerated and those who explore it should be sacrificed. In my opinion, in its primitive form (and "In C" comes before this, even more so), minimalism is a bore. I know you might be lamenting now, but you know how I am: the repetition of the note and/or the cell fascinates me little. My ears aren't tempted. 3) Hey, what are you doing, just trying to raise the averages? You rascal. Maybe the default is 5, but you emphasized it. You cheeky one.

I eagerly await your next review of "In C" to slap a wonderful 3 on the record!
