Re: Other music
Seeing as we're all spending a few weeks in the box, here's one of my all-time favourite albums from Tangerine Dream...

Re: Other music
Nothing to do with the guitar nor the technical abilities of the player, but he drags Bach, kicking and screaming, into the Romantic period. It hurts.
Contrast with this, just the way to play the ornaments, vary the rhythm, &c.

Re: Other music
Not one piece. Note that I'd be delighted to be proven wrong. :)
"Wrote … for guitar" that's not "there exist transcriptions for guitar".
Undoubtedly, but the Renaissance & Baroque guitars are very different beasts form the modern "Spanish" one.
Even this is at least dubious nowadays. There seems to be a consensus that Bach's "lute" pieces were in fact for the Lautenwerck, a keyboard instrument, kind of clavicembalo with gut strings. Bach owned three of these.
Not always. My gripe was that one doesn't play baroque with romantic mannerisms.
I could provide documentation & examples, but don't want to bore the gentle audience.
Here's a baroque guitar:

There are entire series on YT where hip cool young music dudes listen to old (but great) musical pieces, and react to them
Same with young kids
An old fart like us will find them enjoyable

Re: Other music
Alternative interpretation: some people just don't care, or even don't perceive, more or less subtle differences. Extreme example: one of my friends was completely tone deaf and never listened to music.
But I'm quite sure you have your own centers of interest where even small differences matter. :)
Of course not. I met Hoppy Smith some decades ago, great musician. Here he plays the baroque guitar:Abdul Alhazred wrote: ↑Fri Apr 10, 2020 2:08 pm I bet you're not too cool to enjoy this selection. :)

It has a kinda rustic charm. You can hear farm animals in the background, and there seems to be a cat perched on a log behind him.

Re: Other music
Well, how can you not love Tull? I'm sure there are people who are "above" anything that is that good (you know who you are, Abdul).
But the guy's face at 6:30 when Ian starts with the flute is priceless? He's like WTF???!!!?! Thanks for that.

A saz (or bağlama), played from the Balkans to Iraq and Syria, but typically Turkish. One of the vast family of long-necked lutes.

As popular as the guitar and used in all forms of music, classical Ottoman, folk and even (electrified) by rock bands.

I've never heard the saz played that way, nor in such a Western-sounding scale.
Most of the time it sounds like this:

↑ An impressive musical piece. I had completely forgotten about it but rediscovered it idly thumbing through my CD collection. :)
Now for something wildly different (Central Asian blues?):

Re: Other music
I've got that knocking around somewhere. Not sure if DcD used that as inspiration or not. Certainly Brendan and Lisa were tinkering with similar choral harmonies some years before Ivo discovered and re-released Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares and Lisa herself says she was doing that schtick since she was 13. Who knows.
Funny you should mention Japanese originals - as Kenji Kawaii used Bulgarian harmonies for part of the GitS soundtrack. I've got that knocking around somewhere too.
All have their seperate merits. All are astonishing.

Re: Other music
Oddly, it's not far off having merit in this instance. Both DcD and Voix Bulgares were on the same record label at around the same time. Its unlikely, but not impossible.
