get prepared u
Well, the most common place I use to hear albums is on Youtube, with Spotify being the second place to use. I had found them out on Rate Your Music, which is like IMDB for music, I found Bruckner after having completed Mahler's symphonies and I was searching for something which were close to the style of his, and Xenakis & Feldman was when I was listening to the most highly regarded "recent" classical music (1950 to today).
Now, about the duo you didn't know, so Yeaaah..., If you didn't like Schoenberg, then I really doubt that you gonna like any of the works from those guys, Xenakis is a guy who has come fully on mathematics in music, making some terrifying & otherworldly chamber and orchestral works in the process (with some electrostatic noise scores included), which I really can't get enough of, and Feldman is very minimalist & is known to have very long compositions, that would make any unprepared person to dropped it or consider it a giant waste of time, but I found them to be relaxing and contemplative in a weird way.
It's important to say that classical music is broader concept to me, I would use more of the other name of it in portuguese, that is "Música Erudita", which translated to english is Scholar Music, using this term, makes me to consider that any type of music which extensively uses scholar music theories in the score, to be part of the more commonly used term Classical Music. So yes, John Cage, Stockhausen, Xenakis, and Feldman are classical composers to me, that are part of the postmodern landscape of it and uses alternative methods on creating scholar music. Besides that, all of the people here did wrote works using Chamber groups, Orchestras and whatnot, it's not like they made everything with electronic devices or only done absurd shit like Steve Reich's Clapping Music.
I could recommend some classical guys you might not know about, like the most regard Brazilian composer, Heitor Villa-Lobos, and the creator of Danse Macabre & Carnival of the Animals, Camille Saint-Saëns, maybe you will like them more I think.
Watch Yeon sang ho animes & you will come to see what I am now seeing. People are living in lllusion, everything is fake. happy people are naive/delusional.
I would recommend Yeon sang ho animes to anyone. I think watching it will help them understand what makes a work truly quality as well as realise not to mindlessly abandon yourself to your instincts
Explore anime but don't mindlessly worship
You truly are a master if it comes to finding hilariously bad series, i can only learn by you XD (and thanks for recomending me last year Mad Bull XD)
If only i met you 2 years ago
