Sorabji to me is all colour without an actual concrete memorable subject.
This is why the music I like most by him is music based upon material by others - laying the groundwork for him to colour it with his often-beautiful additions. But without groundwork…all I hear is pleasant if unmemorable colour.
Not long after this, in 2002 perhaps, I set out to make sense of him and listened to Gulistan over and over again over the course of a couple of weeks. I did enjoy it in the end, but not enough to take on another piece.
Tru. I jumped to the conclusion of ‘who else could be arsed to do it?’
To which he would obviously reply “I’m not sure to whom (or whom’s arse) you would be referring but I can be fairly certain that no one would indeed go by the name ‘arsed’”.
(or zum sheeyat like that)
I’m active from time to time, but either my standards have risen, or I’m jaded, or the place has got much worse over the last decade. It’s also not very active in terms of posts, and when it is, the posts are almost invariably borderline unreadable.
The last time I recall it being actively CG was when some dude tried to troll marik by talking, completely OT, about German porn.
Daim, that’s saying something. The place was garbage already at the time I left. Basically all sycophants and bible bashers. I was only tight with da sdcers and random Aussies.
