Really, the Tapiola Sinfonietta conducted by Jean-Jacques Kantorow are covering Arvo Pärt here. Performed by a different artist this work could sound quite different. Anywho, it's a lovely addition to my collection.</p> <p>Rather mathematical - there's actually a <a href="http://www.linusakesson.net/music/fratres/index.php" target="_blank">full rundown of the formula for Fratres</a>. It's a fantastic piece. Close to a lot of this electronica stuff in it's construction - subtly changing looped patterns. Kind of dark and menacing but not exactly, not exactly dissonant either but somehow teetering on the edge of something. Maybe it uses those twisted ninth intervals that Trent Reznor is so keen on. Sure is a nice thing to sit down and close your eyes to.</p> http://undertheinfluence.me.uk/music/tapiola_sinfonietta/tabula_rasa_fratres_collage_sur_bach_arvo_part#comments 1964 1976 1977 1997 classical Thu, 03 Jan 2008 11:52:07 -0600 aidan 155 at http://undertheinfluence.me.uk
