What Are You Listening To? Mk. 3.

[Argus Fairbrass]

I personally still think Maynard James Keenan is one of the greatest singers alive. A keen wine producer these days, and evidently a good one from the review I happened to catch on tv recently. Involved with a number of bands and projects over the years, the best known being Tool and later A Perfect Circle. Puscifer is his personal project and actually took a little while to grow on me. Still it certainly has now, like the proverbial rash.

Of his work, my absolute favourite has always been A Perfect Circle. I loved Thirteenth Step.

Hard to match or repeat perfection, with a sound hint of Jethro Tull IMHO:

A Perfect Circle- Thirteenth Step (Full Album)

Straight from Admiral Wilhelm's quarters on USAS Orca, a collection of Gramophone records. You take your boots off, dim the Nernst lamp and while your eyes adjust to the darkness, you unceremoniously sit on the sofa holding a pint of Doppelbock on the right hand. On the large portholes of the stern deck you can see the moonlit landscape and the stars above. You close your eyes for the first time in sixteen hours. The crew is not your concern at the moment.

Frederic Chopin Op. 9 No.2 and all of his Polonaises

Chopin - Nocturne op.9 No.2

Chopin - COMPLETE Polonaises

Daguerrotype of Chopin by Bisson, c. 1849

Source: Wikipedia:

Frédéric François Chopin was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist of the Romantic era who wrote primarily for the solo piano. He gained and has maintained renown worldwide as a leading musician of his era, whose "poetic genius was based on a professional technique that was without equal in his generation." Chopin was born in what was then the Duchy of Warsaw and grew up in Warsaw, which in 1815 became part of Congress Poland. A child prodigy, he completed his musical education and composed his earlier works in Warsaw before leaving Poland at the age of 20, less than a month before the outbreak of the November 1830 Uprising.

At 21 he settled in Paris. Thereafter, during the last 18 years of his life, he gave only some 30 public performances, preferring the more intimate atmosphere of the salon. He supported himself by selling his compositions and by teaching piano, for which he was in high demand. Chopin formed a friendship with Franz Liszt and was admired by many of his musical contemporaries, including Robert Schumann. In 1835 he obtained French citizenship. After a failed engagement to Maria Wodzińska, from 1837 to 1847 he maintained an often troubled relationship with the French woman writer George Sand. A brief and unhappy visit to Majorca with Sand in 1838–39 was one of his most productive periods of composition. In his last years, he was financially supported by his admirer Jane Stirling, who also arranged for him to visit Scotland in 1848. Through most of his life, Chopin suffered from poor health. He died in Paris in 1849, at the age of 39, probably of tuberculosis.

All of Chopin's compositions include the piano. Most are for solo piano, though he also wrote two piano concertos, a few chamber pieces, and some songs to Polish lyrics. His keyboard style is highly individual and often technically demanding; his own performances were noted for their nuance and sensitivity. Chopin invented the concept of the instrumental ballade. His major piano works also include mazurkas, waltzes, nocturnes, polonaises, études, impromptus, scherzos, preludes and sonatas, some published only after his death. Influences on his composition style include Polish folk music, the classical tradition of J. S. Bach, Mozart and Schubert, the music of all of whom he admired, as well as the Paris salons where he was a frequent guest. His innovations in style, musical form, and harmony, and his association of music with nationalism, were influential throughout and after the late Romantic period.

I happened upon the soundtrack of a "Myst" knockoff game from the 90's called 'Schizm: Mysterious Journey'. I was totally in the mood for some old 90's style synth music, like the stuff you'd hear back then on the 'Echoes' show, on public radio. Found it!

Schizm: The Mysterious Journey. 02 Aurora

Apparently the first game did well enough to garner a sequel.. "Schizm 2: Chameleon"

SCHIZM 2: Chameleon - Soundtrack 02

Can't say a word about the gameplay, tho, as I've never played either game.
