Nope, I tried listening to them both but not doing it for me.
I think this is the closest I get to liking Canadian music...

They're Scottish.
Sometimes I like watching a bewildered crowd...

Even better. More slaggy, less sweary. I love these women, I'd marry them both.

This was my top recommendation after watching that last one.

I love Arca. Even just up to kicki (kick 1) she was already the furthest out of the new hyperpop (charli xcx, fka twigs, christine and the queens) and she's been teasing kickii for a couple weeks, but instead released 4 new albums at once. I will probably never listen to all of it, but i respect the energy.Quote:

There are also a bunch of really self indulgent tracks which is to be expected when you drop 40 songs in a year. weirdly some of the least interesting musically have the most intricate video production:

I gotta disagree, which is why I don't like it. I love dancing, and can appreciate some pretty crazy electronica music, but this is bordering on epileptic fit territory. There's no rhythm.Quote:

Not liking that Prada track either.
Here's some spazzy elec which I do like, probably because no vocals...

byw, FKA Twigs is tolerable. She's no Bjork, but she's still pretty cool.
neat! That's funny because to my ears that track is even more abrasive than the Arca one, which isn't a bad thing.Quote:

The audio production really gives away its age though.
I don't mind abrasive. The thing with Acra, I can see talent there for sure. It just doesn't please my ear.
That Utabi tune you've linked is not one I've heard before, or at least don't remember. Good tune. A bit like Acra, but with rhythm!
That's good news!Quote:

I like that a lot. Very good. Japanese bitch punk, where have they been all my life?
Reminds me a bit of these guys, the male equivalent. Well, aside from the female keyboard player.

There are some absolute gems hidden in the dark corners of youtube.

Not so much listening to as trying to learn on my guitar.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofmBDLH75MM
Also, I wish people would just slow down the entire song rather than try to make it seem like they're slowing down a particular transition on purpose because they can't play it full speed. That never works. /rant
Also trying to learn Canon in D as something everyone knows and will be familiar with. Just learning the notes now, seems do-able.

This is my all-time favourite classical song, Capricho Arabe. Been working on it off and on for about two years, very technically challenging.
This guy is generally unconscious on the guitar, and his guitar cost more than my house, so yeah probably won't be up to this standard anytime soon, but I'm close to getting it presentable I think.

I really like Tárrega but that composition isn't amazing to me.
This one is though...

Yeah, Tarrega is the GOAT when it comes to classical guitar - pretty much defines the prototypical "Spanish" sound.
This one of his I quite like too and has the benefit of being short enough to be easy to learn.
Music starts at 1.55
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r44x1QIwYGA
Yeah that's nice and short, should be easy to learn!
El Caranval De Venecia is a beast of a tune though, if you can play that in its entirety then you'll definitely get some appreciation.
OK, your reminder got me to go back and listen, and I totally agree, and thank you for putting this in my life.Quote:

And oskar should listen to that Benny Sings one, that's right up his street if his previous contributions to this thread are anything to go by.
It was. Less than a week to get it down iirc.Quote:

Also Anna Meredith is playing. She is something else. Classical.

Oh and the small matter of Squarepusher. Holy shit.

wow. Thought the guitar was going to catch on fire there for a minute.
