Lontano
Off to Oxford for the rest of the day to give a talk, which is apparently either a colloquial seminar or a seminal colloquium. I haven’t worked out which. Anyway, I thought I’d leave you with a wonderful bit of music by the genius that was György Ligeti. This piece, called Lontano, is one of the many works by this composer I have on my iPod so I’ll be listening to it again as the train speeds (?) through the snowy countryside taking me towards the dreaming spires..

Couldn’t quite explain why, but your youtube clip brought to mind the genius of late-era Mark Hollis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cIWsQuYVeg
