It occurred to me too late that by clicking on that song, YouTube will now use that information to suggest music to me. Damn you, Eskelin!
One comparison that came to mind was with graphic novels, which are basically comic book issues that are bundled together to form a complete story line. The idea of treating these as a serious art form is a fairly recent development, outside the core group of dedicated aficionados at least.
Do you think any of the FR publications ever made a serious attempt at being art?
Also -- "Sogno". Is that Italian for "dream"? I ask because Christopher Tin composed this beautiful, rapturous little piece of music Sogno di Volare ("The Dream of Flight"). I post the link below. If you listen to this -- if for no other reason than to flush out that song above -- keep reminding yourself that this was composed for a f*cking VIDEO GAME!) It goes toward raising the question of "what is art"? The music to movies (and video games; I can't get over that) has become the classical symphonic music of our age. Yet many would dis the idea that it qualifies as anything other than pop tripe.
Bwahaha! All part of my dastardly scheme to pollute your YouTube feed!
Sogno does indeed mean dream. Like you, I am amazed at some of the music coming out of the video game niche. Even Trent Reznor, god of my industrial rock idolatry, did QUAKE.
I didn't know that about Trent. I did know he was NiN. Given how out of touch I am with pop culture, I feel like I deserve an attaboy, maybe even a parade, for that.
My first impression was that they were similar to American comic books...only with more cigarettes and sexual undertones.
"More cigarettes and sexual undertones"! LOL!!!!
