cherry, Himself says there's someone called György Ligeti, who has done all sorts of pieces with metronomes, but the one most performed is called Poème Symphonique for 100 metronomes

FAQinglovely · 13/06/2009 01:27

metronomes only

(had found the composer was just finding a link)

cherryblossoms · 13/06/2009 01:27

Way to go, Gigglewitch!

Thank you! Might try googling that for myself and ds.

cherryblossoms · 13/06/2009 01:28

Oooh! And you, FAQ!

FAQinglovely · 13/06/2009 01:28

now having listened to the steady clicking of metronome beats - I'm off to bed. Told DH I would be too long - 40 minutes ago LOL.

gigglewitch · 13/06/2009 01:28

the 4.33 is quite an interesting thing to perform. it baffles the audience something rotten (have done it in the middle of amateur orch concert - weirdos!!) and the conductor actually stood there counting it with the baton. He was a pompous prick tho...
agree that it becomes a meditation type thing where you really listen to the silence

FluffyBunnyGoneBad · 13/06/2009 01:29

ROFL!!! Why o why???

gigglewitch · 13/06/2009 01:30

I thank you Thumb
At least I am only half geek

FluffyBunnyGoneBad · 13/06/2009 01:34

You're not a geek. You just know alot of stuff that you thought would come in useful one day and you know what? It has!!!!

FAQinglovely · 13/06/2009 01:36

how about this one here! (and now I'm really off to bed)

FAQinglovely · 13/06/2009 01:39

actually no this is a better one here as you can here the change in rhythms better.

FluffyBunnyGoneBad · 13/06/2009 01:44

Why???????

Night FAQ

FAQinglovely · 13/06/2009 01:46

ok this is music - but the recording is crap - they sound 10000 times better than that in RL

EyeballshasManBoobs · 13/06/2009 09:54

You lot were here waffling till nearly 2am?? Nutters.

inthemistsoftime · 13/06/2009 10:37

what's your problem op? if you don't like such threads, don't bloody read them then.

there are many people on here including myself who have found the support needed to get through the night from such threads.

off you go to net mums, am sure you'll be happier there.

duchesse · 13/06/2009 10:39

Bye then, OP.

Maybe I should start a

AIBU- to wish all the insensitive idiots starting threads about things that don't concern them would just f%%k off?

nessus · 13/06/2009 22:26

Heartless (but funny and true) - YABU

SemperEadem · 14/06/2009 10:03

Well lets just hope that you never need to post on such threads then, eh?

They have been invaluable to me at times & if you don't like it then don't bloody read it - simple.

Pan · 14/06/2009 11:29

and why all the swearing? is MN becoming more common as it gets bigger?

curiositykilled · 14/06/2009 11:47

YANBU - not feel bored, how can feeling anything be unreasonable.
YABU - if you express said boredom, you could really hurt someone's feelings.

Why are you reading them if they bore you? lol

mummytowillow · 14/06/2009 21:01

oooh you nasty piece of work ...... I think those thread are brilliant especially as my husband has left me, I got valuable support from the other women.

As Custardo said ................!!!!

And yes I hope the door gives you a big bruise on your sorry nasty arse!

ChippingIn · 15/06/2009 01:27

Pan - it's a release! I spend all day not swearing in front of the children, it's nice to not have to care. Also, it's easier than writing 4 paragraphs to convey your level of frustration, much easier in a couple of swear words

Terribly sorry if you think it makes me common or offends you
