The Portland Symphony Orchestra played this piece a few weeks back, God it was amazing :D

Metronomic shite.

I think this piece is absurd . Mason Bates writing is well i didnt want to sound mean but cheesy . To put a house beat over the symphony orchestra is aesthetically illogical .Yes electronics are now open game in the orchestra(some) But bates doesn't even begin to tap into the potential .Listen to Edmund Campion ,Mason Bates Teacher .He specializes In this . Doesnt sound like a house beat over film music strings . Anyone reading this check out 21st cen masters . Rouse , Adams, David Lang, Kernis.

It's like watching a movie music composition happening in real time. Editing and adding special synth to a soundtrack to give it that futuristic sound on the fly is not easy.. danm its not easy!!

There's a lot of potential here. As someone who appreciates Autechre, Stravinsky, Miles Davis and Stockhausen alike, I'm left wanting more exploration and less film-score grooving.
I'm a drummer - I love grooving. Grooving is great. This just feels super tame - weak beats and weak development. I remember thinking the same thing after the MusicNow concert.
Whatever - keep doing what you love, but your accolades seem undeserved from this showing.

so did I! It was an AMAZING concert! My mom who didn't want to go to it, hasn't stopped talking about it!
-

Also, is it just me or does the electronica in this seem REALLY loud?

He appears to simply be smacking on an akai mpd-24 with very bad timing while the orchestra does all the work. IMNSHO, his contribution to the performance is crap. I think that there are plenty of opportunities for electronic sounds in orchestral music but this just completely fails to be interesting.

I could just imagine what Beethoven would write had he been given access to the synthesizer!
