Ezequiel Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 hey guys! I just wanted to share a link to a music blog I have been writing. Its been fun! But I'm trying to get more people to check it out. Its a music blog for anyone and everyone with 'user-friendly' descriptions of the bands. Its kind a few months old, but check it out, and feel free to comment on it. My idea is to expose people to cool music that gets unnoticed. So take a look at it, and if you know anyone who would like it, pass the link to them! Ok? Also, we can use this thread to discuss music in general. What has everyone been listening to? Quote
Ezequiel Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Posted October 25, 2009 hahahaha... I'm sorry, I seem to suffer from mild retardation...Vine and Willow Quote
daenvgiell Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 do you know any good instrumental bands? Quote
Ezequiel Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Posted October 25, 2009 yeah, I do!!! For sure....You should check out Amiina. They are an Islandic minimalistic intrumental band. If you know Sigur Ros, Amiina did the string arrangements for two or three of their albums. They are great! They make this really neat music in some pretty inconventional ways. They music has some very childlike innocence and its pretty magical. I highly recommend it. Check out their website at Amiina and their myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/amiinaI think I may have a different idea of instrumental music than you though. What kind of instrumental music? Do you mean like classical music? Orchestral music? rock/post rock with instrumental influences??? if you explain to me, I can narrow things down for you - although if you are looking for classical or orchestral, I'm pretty weak on the subject X_x Quote
daenvgiell Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 I'm looking for maybe bits of piano with violin or piano with string instruments, or something like that, I don't want something with too much of a beat, I'm trying to find music for a dance piece that I am creating for next year as part of my studies.

Ezequiel Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Posted October 26, 2009 you should check out Sufjan Stevens. He is an american singer-songwriter. He is incredible when it comes to that kind of stuff. He uses a large array of instruments. He tends to lean more towards folk music, but he is incredibly great. I'm sure wyou would find something good about him. Quote
cleanvisit Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 Has anyone here heard of Mindy Gledhill? I absolutely love her stuff. Search for my favorite Mindy Gledhill song, "A Little More Like Thee," at CleanVisit.com, a safe, family friendly search engine. Her music is really peaceful and her voice has both the subtleties and power to convey great passion. Actually, I really like all of her music. Quote
daenvgiell Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 I like his music only, everything that I found of his he was singing in haha! Quote
Ezequiel Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Posted October 27, 2009 yeah, but he has such a good voice.... I know Mindy. I used ot lissen to her in my mission. She is preatty! Quote
daenvgiell Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 yes and I agree, but I'm looking for instrumental Quote
believer Posted May 2, 2011 Report Posted May 2, 2011 If your still looking for instrumental stuff Sufjan was commissioned by the Brooklyn Academy of Music to compose something. He did a instrumental piece and filmed a backdrop and did one live performance for the celebration. YouTube - THE BQE - A FILM BY SUFJAN STEVENS part 1And for anyone interested here is a taste of his latest tour. This is from the U.S. leg of the tour. He just started the European tour. Here is his latest album. Listen for free. The Age of Adz | Sufjan Stevens Quote
