Does anyone know of any modern composers (meaning, composers who are at their peaks right now, or are on the rise…not like George Crumb or anyone) who actually have any fury? By fury I mean abrasion, just fucking something to kick you in the ass really hard. The most recent composers I’ve heard with any fury have been Xenakis and Ligeti, which is pretty sad given that both of them are dead now.
Most composers I come in contact with today (via MySpace and also more famous contemporary composers I’ve downloaded) are (musically) the biggest bunch of squares I’ve ever seen. A lot of it is boring as fuck (and generic as fuck) choral music. It’s the kind of music that would have the composer on the cover of the album wearing a white turtleneck in front of a fireplace holding a dove. FUCK THAT SHIT.
If not that, it’s music very much in the style of film music. I’m all for film music…when it’s in a film. On it’s own it’s usually dull as balls (unless you’re John Williams)…the function of film music is as an accompaniment to the soloist…the drama. The same way I’d be bored listening to an opera without the singers, I’m bored listening to film music outside of the context of a movie (except for extraordinary cases, like John Williams).
I know I’m being incredibly judgmental here and I know there are people who derive genuine enjoyment from the styles I’m bashing, but I’m totally sick of it and NEED a modern composer who isn’t a big Nancy. As it is, to get fury I either go back to older classical stuff or stuff like Melt Banana, some Nirvana, older Metallica, etc.
I agree man. The vast majority of modern piano composers write wimpy neo classical new age bullshit. I loved the image you painted of someone sitting in front of a fire with a white turtleneck holding a dove. haha, I agree. FUCK THAT SHIT.

There ain’t anything warm and cozy about Danielpour’s music.

That’s only cos da man’s music is more like brown and turd-shaped and smellin like a monkey’s butt.
You guys all forgot mah main man Horatiu Rad-u-lesc-u, da boss dude of the Spectralist Massive. Respek him for da five piano sonatas what kick ass like a tasty punani and respek him for a piano concerto the size of da pimpmobile. De piano concerto even uses da same tunes dat da MASTAH BARTOK used in some of piano fury. And da sonatas are obsessive like a monster wanksta rammin it home all nite long. Don respek him for his bling, though. Dat man don’t get street style.

i actually heard some of its music. it is kinda furious at some points, but very atmospheric also. i havent much other music like it before. id liek to see sheets to it someday.
another modern composer with fury: nikolai kapustin. his stuff is jazzy and hard as fuck. his variations are one of the hardest pieces ive ever played. owns his 2nd sonata.
