Gort. That was the name of the robot in The Day The world Stood Still, I think. It scared the crap out of me when I was a child, But of course the Bernard Hermann score had a lot to do with the fear factor I later realized.

So .. uh .. graphic score?

David, I was tipped off that this had happened. I have nothing against the Boys themselves. I do hope they no longer have to sell roasted mouse kebabs at the roadside to make ends meet.

Stanley:

I'm a big fan of modern 'orchestral' music and composers. I think watching the Grateful Dead / Rex Foundation Documentary in the '90s helped to start my exploration. Of course, getting to see the stuff live is not easy, except, if we're lucky, at the Edinburgh International Festival.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:06pm
fred:

In an unexpected reversal of the usual, there was an improvisation workshop at work today, featuring some musicians I usually see at experimental shows
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:08pm

Ah, the Rex Foundation. Did some good things. I wonder if it still exists.

Late to comment but I always associate “The Day The Earth Stood Still” with college film class at Brooklyn College. The film theatre the class is in is now gone when they reworked some buildings on Bedford Avenue. So it’s all literally covered in grass. Looks better now. But Ms. Contreras film class opened my world a bit despite the fact I wasn’t that receptive to new exploring film deeply back then; I took film classes to kill time more than learn back then.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:16pm
david w:

Hey Jake, that happened to me with anthropology.

JakeGould:

@DavidW: You mean you took it to kill time and then the echoes of the class affected you years later?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:17pm
david w:

Yes, exactly.

@fred. that sounds like my work every day (not always a blessing)!

Stanley:

The MusikFabrik ensemble is one of my favourites. Always very interesting.
As is this Stockhausen, by the way.
Me likes.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:42pm
fred:

The interesting thing about that workshop is that it was targeted at young composers. I guess trying to get them to consider opening things up in their work

Thanks David. Thoroughly enjoyed the show.
Right up my alley, as they say.
