ANN MILLIKAN (&THE BULGARIAN NATIONAL RADIO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA) -BALLAD NOCTURNE.
as reviewed by mr. esq.
ann millikan is a composer. she weaves many styles, but to the untrained ear -such as mine- it's contemporary classical, if tag is needed. millikan uses tonal&atonal modal languages.
there's jazz (which she originally studied/composed.)
and braziliaan&west african threads.
i wish i could describe this better, but i know nothing about this kind of music. which is so refreshing. because it's new to me.
so read the liner notes, ya' lil' snoots.
(lovely stories in the liner notes. i like stories.)
note: millikan attended san jose state!=local=fuck yeah!
note II: i would like to thank bug for giving this to me for review, as i was whining about derivative rock musicc i've been reviewing. i liked it very much. thank you.
FCC CLEAN.
SUGGESTED TRACKS: 1, 3, 4, 5.
*1.opens violins cutting glass. piano ominoussad.
there's hope coming in. moody all the same. the waves keep waving. it's very cinematic. noir love story. fall asleep...
(note; emanuele arciuli, piano.)
2. fantasy epic for children. through the looking glass, down the rabbit hole and all that.
*3. burny. great drones&shimmers so short. sounds like machine made sound at half point -but it's not! =best track.
*4. OH, IT'S BADASS TIME! it gets whirly. then it gets real calm. aww!: now i wanna sleep. (2nd half is beaut! =those violins.)
*5. FUCK #3 =THIS IS THE BEST TRACK! IT ROCKS! (no, really!)
are those buffaloes talking? the instruments sound like animals! oh my God=the title tells the truth!
middle sounds: oncoming headlights -look out, buffalo!
brutal digestion. watery. candles light themselves. bugles at the dawn. of an execution. or an annunciation. rattlesnake right there. beware. remindinng me of some 70's tv/movie score, but i can't quite pin it. whatever. it's great (and happy!) brazilian beat. now i'm thinking of mary tyler moore. am i in minneapolis now? nope. brazil-cum-italian western. gettin the whirlies again. and the end? it's all good. it's all good. goodnight now.
