Push those choices into a more pop-infleuenced genre and you might also enjoy music by Rachel's. I'd recommend checking out Systems Layers and Selenography. I've also enjoyed most of the work I've heard from Part, but particularly Alina and Te Deum.Bring in a chorus and try Lux Aeterna. If you like serene, and really have a taste for the avant garde, give Gavin Bryars' Jesus Blood Never Failed Me Yet a listen - hypnotic in a Phillip Glass sort of way, but completely unique.
Recommend me more like John Adams..
Hi all
I just bought John Adams "The Dharma at Big Sur". It's an incredibly beautiful, indian-influenced piece featuring an electric violin. Somehow I just connect to it and find myself transported. Do check it out if you get a chance.
I'd like to find more music like this. I already enjoy Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians, Gorecki's 3rd Symphony, and Arvo Part's Fratres, which are in some sense similar to the Adams work. Could anyone recommend more music similar to this? I like all kinds of music and love to discover and explore new stuff.
I have been put off by some avant garde music that just seems to me to be chaotic. I enjoy listening to music that is serene but not to the point of soporific.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions
cheers
