I can only imagine what goes on in Jonny's magical mind when I listen to his pieces... pure love Jonny, pure love

@MusicaRicercata I say, someone's a touch snobbish. The line between theft and inspiration is pretty much subjective. Personally I can hear a bit of Amnesiac era Radiohead in there, so it's not like he's not adding his own twist to this kind of music.

I think his other peace - "Doghouse" is better. Check it out and tell me if there is evolution.

I think there is.

Hi guys.

Would very much appreciate it if some/ any of you would be kind enough to listen to my music:

There is only one track there at the moment, but i'll be uploading another four within the next day.

Thanks.

@skulihelgi1 There is a difference between influence and abject, complete theft.

Stravinsky once remarked that a good composer "steals" from his predecessors. However, a good composer also knows how to handle the material they've borrowed so that it doesn't become a cheap parody of the music from which they draw as their sources.

@MusicaRicercata yes, it's absolutely horrible to have influences ... in fact lets just stop making music all together and stick to what we already have

[krispecker]

@MusicaRicercata I Say its Pretty fucking good considering all the other musical contributions this wonderful man has made. Think about it 13 or so years ago this man was making music like "The Bends" or "Ok Computer" not to mention "KID A" or "Amnesiac". I think his " Evolution" into Classical music has been widely excepted. After all he did write the score for the major motion picture "There will be Blood".

Boulez and Stockhausen are also fantastic as well; I highly suggest the former's "Anthèmes" (either edition) and the latter's "Unsichtbare Chöre".
