A lovely convergence of my favorite things
I’m on something of a David O’Reilly kick here. His stuff is fascinating. And I just discovered that he made a video for the Venetian Snares track Szamar Madar off of their unpronounceable but very listenable DnB/IDM/Classical mashup album Rossz Csillag Alatt Született, which happens to be one of my favorite albums ever. And then on top of that, the video is yet another great example of non-invisibility, it breaks you-tube’s fourth wall around the halfway mark with startling effect.

What a perfectly timed convergence of ideas.
There must be something wrong with one of us, because I kind of like this music.
Wow. If I manage to get my dad interested in The Venetian Snares, then this blog has truly fulfilled its purpose.
Actually, it’s not that surprising. I got my taste from somewhere. And the rest of the album may be a bit glitchy and noisy for you, but there’s a lot to like. It’s pretty much Stravinsky with the rhythms turned to 11 (and the harmonies turned down to 3 or 4).
