    Magnificent! And, you know, on the third time around it actually starts to sound quite tuneful…:-)

    If CBC Radio talks about this, they are really wasting air time.

    it´s sad to see incomprehension, lack of perception and respect to the work of such an artist and composer.
    this posture is not new or original, and completely sterile.

    I don’t know about coryarcangel, but I for one love (much of) Schoenberg’s music and also love this video! You can appreciate a piece of music and still enjoy making a joke of it.

    i think this is wonderful and i agree with PitTrout. i know more about Arcangel’s work than Schoenberg. i do not find this the least bit disrespectful of the composer. i can’t stop thinking about the work it took to find, arrange and piece all of those clips together in the right order. i think it’s more in the spirit of Schoenberg than some music snobs might be willing to admit.

    What kind of moron posts this drivel. One of the most pioneering minds of the 20th century gets such abusive treatment.
    Perhaps you should stick to your Ass…I mean Glass recordings.

    Maybe the original music was also composed this way? I believe Schoenberg was cat-holic in his preferences.

    @lemoneater88 in fact, Schoenberg’s Op. 11 is not 12 tone. it’s free atonality.

    Hey – just thought I’d say this is HOT HOT HOT. I blogged about it here cause I fucking love it (scroll down – its near the bottom now). Anyway – this is a stunning work with a lot of depth – and it makes me laugh!!!!!!!!! Great stuff.

    Funny thing is, I assumed you were unknown (cause I chanced upon this totally by accident) and then, after doing some research, realized that you are VERY well known now. How does it feel to be canonized man?? Is it weird??

    Love

    By the way – I had to cut the link out cause it doesn’t seem to like it. If you want to see what I said on our Art Blog then you will have to check out our profile – the address is there.

    I wonder if a cat finds those clusters of notes dissonant in the way that a human ear often does. I guess we’ll never know the answer to that one.
