[quote user="sbw4224"]Yeah, I actually started listening to them based on your recommendation. I know this goesway back, but after you pointed out how good Sufjan Stevens- Seven Swans was and how the rest of his albumspaled comparison (something which I completely agree with),I knew that I would probablylikeGrails even before listening to them. I haven't listened to Black Tar yet, though. I'll download it tonight on emusic. [/quote]awesome [Y]</p>

</p>

Let me give you another recommendation, esp. if you're enjoying Seven Swans and Grails... Matt Elliott, especially his first two albums ("The Mess We Made" and "Drinking Songs")... he used to be in Flying Saucer Attack way back, and for most of the 90s made music as the Third Eye Foundation (sort of proto-IDM jungle/electronica stuff, if you haven't heard of it -- quite good)... but his work under his own name is something else altogether. It's essentially folk music, augmented with electronica and absolutely dripping with melancholy, loss, angst, and ennui. Except it doesn't sound nearly as bleak as I'm describing. One of my favorite discoveries of the past few years, and highly, highly recommended.

EDIT:</p>

i can see why it would/could be chosen for a contemporary dance piece. but honestly, at least the excerpt out of fairness, is a little predictable and theatrical to me. which is fine. but my interests lie in the ability to take pieces of music, that do not seem as logical, and make movement out of them...</p>

assuming i understand you right, would you be able to articulate these movements without falling back into any kind of predictability or familiarity
when you work from a piece of music? or is this an attempt at "free association" without bothering too much about or being burdened by the likelihood of reproducing "dance-and-music" cliches?

i would like to think that my interest lies in the ability to interpret and illustrate the movement of the music, of whatever kind, without stepping back to the expected, even if the recognizable is used. I am not opposed to movement that fits the cliche, i find that very beautiful. however, I am looking to push beyond that, to go deeper, but maybe every dancer feel that way... I dont know. I can only speak from my own experience and desires. I have been told that you can feel the music through my finger tips, and that is what I strive towards. I want to understand that and study that and fulfill that observation... </p>
