MUSIC: What are you listening to ? ?

Arvo Part and Johann Johannsson today

I just discovered Part last week, a piece for Cello and Piano. I was impressed by how expressive it was. Since then, I've listened to quite a bit of him...but this morning I'm taking time out for the sensational "Close Encounters" soundtrack.
 
An old friend from New York turned me on to these guys - Edit Bunker - and I can't stop watching their YouTube performances. This is high-tech, postmodern art-punk that alternately channels Mahavishnu Orchestra's class with Minor Threat's intensity. These guys have serious chops and aren't afraid to rip. And this...their show is multimedia, all a/v sources triggered in real time:


...other than ^ that, I've also been listening to a lot of Coil...Keith Jarrett's Köln Concert has been in my car stereo for about a month...and Thom Yorke's solo record Eraser & his side band Atoms For Peace.
 
Vaughan Williams "The Lark Ascending" with Iona Brown on violin. Very moving piece for me.

Big fan of video games. I've playing DOOM lately, but I keep dying because I tend to focus on the awesome music a bit too much.

My older brother and his best friend wrote this song for one of our other brothers, Richard Russell, and the crew of his C-130 which was shot down over An Loc in 1972... and, no, this is not justifying war in any manner... just a good example of using music as a means to find some kind of resolution:
