IM TOO TIRED TO BLOG

So much to say(well, not really, just really the same pointless prattle im sure you guys are used to by now) and so little energy to type it out. Must be those late hours i kept this past weekend, finally catching up with me.

Does this mean im officially old? (Don't answer that!)

:(

Anyways, i'm a few days late on this, but its a officially spring(yay vernal equinox!). Im excited. Its still feels like winter outside, but @ least there is warmth on the horizon. Bees and things and flowers yall.

In honor of the new season, I'm posting a youtube clip of a performance of one of my favorite orchestral pieces: "Rite of Spring" by Stravinsky.


This is the final movement, the Sacrificial Dance, and it has quite a complex rhythm. Its simply amazing. Stravinsky is one of my favorite composers.

The conductor is Hiroyuki Iwaki w/the NHK symphony orchestra, and notice how he conducts from memory - no score. Awesome.

by the bye - if any of you guys are star wars fans(my homie R- dont know abt anyone else) the music may sound familiar, it may be because george lucas used this piece as the tracking music for certain scenes in Star Wars: A new hope. John Williams then heavily borrowed from its dissonant synchopation.

oh yeah...it was used in fantasia too.
