Here is the same spectacular piece performed in two languages. Ešenvalds is originally from Latvia, but is one of the most popular choral composers in the US today. I had the pleasure of meeting him at a conference last year.

Posting this for several reasons, one being that the music and drama make for one of the greatest battle scenes of all time.

I know Brian Wilson was an amazing songwriter, but after listening to this analysis, I am completely floored by the genius demonstrated in this song.

One of these things is not like the other (but still a great piece, IMO).

This entire album by pianist Mira Opalińska and bassist Douglas Whates beautifully demonstrates how silence can be used to great effect in jazz.

Check out their interpretation of Blade Runner.

Audio interface update:

MOTU M2 arrived today. Excellent build quality. Everything solid and tight. Backlit LCD screen is super easy to read, although missing numeric level indicators.

Sound quality is outstanding. Lowest-noise source ever to my KRK monitors, and HP and has plenty of juice to drive my Senn HD650s loudly and cleanly.

If you are looking for an external audio interface, just buy this. Trust me, I've tried lots of them. This is the way.

This is one of my summer projects. I also said that last summer. This piece is a bear, but it's my mission in life to play the hell out of this thing one day.
