I thought this was a classical interpretation of "Where Is My Mind"
Bill actually plays one sometimes, a piano version from Maxence Cyrin
i do love the strings.

Einaudi`s music reminds me of modern inspirational commercials...just wanna be
Hang in there, dago.
'EXPIERIENCE' (the name of this tune), is no doubt something you will one day have.
Looking at photos my daughter texted me today as I listen to this -
She is in Europe with friends.
I think of the day she was born, and different things she said and did growing up, and what a beautiful unique individual she is.
These thoughts flow very easily to this music.
I am aware that this is nothing and that we're privileged to live in a country that's at peace with a reasonably good education system. Nonetheless, not a nice a moment. I can't wait for tonight and his telling me his day. On the upside, his sis who's in her last year at the same school did text that she was going to check in on him :)
Sorry for ranting about nothing worthwhile
I don't particularly enjoy this guy's music but it's odd that you're getting a "fingernails-on-a-blackboard" reaction to it. It's innocuous background music; there's nothing shrill or jarring about it like that (tired) "blackboard" cliché usually implies. I'm not sure if it's his intention for his music to have any deep "substance" - it's meant to be "ambient" sound, meant for relaxation or meditation (I imagine). The repetition or monotony is there by design, criticizing it is like criticizing seascape paintings for depicting too much water. Obviously, everyone responds differently to different music. Hearing Jimmy Buffett usually gives me an adverse reaction, but other folks love his music.
The way I see it, for every song that is played on RP, at least one person will like it. That is what this station is all about, something for everyone. What more could you ask?
Beautiful
I Love this song...
Ludovico Einaudi, lends me a heart replete with thankfulness

Literally what I just said when this song started - I love this song!
Bring this to the top - not diggin' the piano couple.... ;) As someone shared - yes "classical trance" is a good way to put it!
NOW I get it. Keep the hallucinations coming. Did I say that out loud?

Agreed. I enjoy some tranquility once in awhile. It's a refreshing change and one of the reasons I listen to RP.
Stupid fake music for people who don't know the difference.
maybe enlighten us on how this is fake music, since apparently you know the difference

Agreed. My wife turned this up on our van stereo yesterday, so it MUST be good!
Can contemporary music be classical? Like jumbo shrimp?
at least Philip Glass's tunes are interesting even if they are predictable
Yeah, or pick your Jean-Luc Ponty piece. But seems mostly intended as music meant to make love to.
It's the inflatable castle of music land. It fills the room but doesn't have a lot of substance.
Do yourself a favor and don't ever listen to Philip Glass. Hahaha

Lots of fiddlin' going on in here. Somthing I would think Fiddler might like.
Yes, beautiful, and all I've heard from them. Whatever piano was minor in that piece, and not worth the spiral of keys posted. Yeah, it looks kinda cool for a minute, but that song was mainly about strings.
Nicely played, can't let word play go unnoticed.
They used that for a commercial?!
Fortunately I don't watch such...

Couldn't agree more. I also have a beef with how much Bill plays it. I feel like I hear it every time I have RP on - which is darn near daily. It's one of the few songs that will make me get up and switch over to KEXP or KUTX or Radio 6 or FIP.
The song data shows that it has been played twice in last 30 days, which is ridiculous given how many songs there are in the world. If forced to guess, it feels like it has been played twice in the last 30 min. I'd be happy with twice in 30 years....
Overall, though, Thanks Bill for doing what you do.

It has nothing to do with the "pleasant" quality - I can see how people would find it soothing as background music. It demands nothing; it's easy. But it's those very qualities that are so disturbing.
Whatever the composer had to say comes out in the first 30 seconds after which we're offered constant repetition broken only by additional instruments doubling down on the theme. It lacks substance beyond minor amusement.
Like the fragment of a song played in a movie, sometimes the 30 seconds you get to hear are perfect in that moment and nothing else.
I get what you mean. Einaudi's initial statement, albeit very pretty, gets repeated without much variation. It is kind of like watching Saturday Night Live sketches where you get the gag almost immediately but they keep riffing, without exploring any further, until I get angry and insulted (well, at least I do).
One might argue that this piece is a similar approach to a Bach fugue. However, Bach would put the tune through fascinating mathematical, melodic, and emotional transformations which made it divine.
IMHO, of course.

Yep. I get the Philip Glass repetitiveness... Reminds me of a Knock-Knock Joke.

Also this song: Requiem for a dream by Clint Mansell
Ludovico's music could be called Classical Trance Music. It's more meditative than stimulative.
Down from 8 to 6

i did not know that they even did a mini series on doctor zhivago. i'll check it out just on the merits of the soundtrack. hope it's as good as the original. not really my thing, but it was my dad's favourite over frank and that's saying something.
speaking of frank. bill, wouldn't hurt.

I can understand why people like it, but for me it's worse than fingernails on the blackboard. Hard to put my finger on why. I like some repetitive music, even EDM in small doses. And yet this drives me crazy with its monotony and portentousness. All surface and no substance.
