Titus said...

Yes, concur with Weaver - wonderful. Beautifully made film, and aren't they the Kings and Queens of Cool!

i have to admit, i was afraid of listening. at the risk of sounding 105, young people's music today... well, my kids are 9 and 11. perhaps their music is too young. (oh! is there hope?!!) it was enchanting. and how delightful to see everyone interpret it on their own, not afraid to be organic in their movement. and no evidence of alcohol. yup, 105.

i wanna dance:)

Oh, you made me go listen to more of his music. There isn't anything I didn't like! Kinda has what I describe as that NYC-Soho-loft-urban-groove thang goin on....

Valerianna said...

hi erin . . . i try to listen to music that changes me in some way . . .doesn't reinforce what's already there . . . nicolas' music - and this is probably the most accessible piece - has detail and space and there's lots of care involved . . . . i teach kids the same age as yours and so i;m exposed to that part of their world and i accept it for what it is - a place to start - sort of like religion - but i share - carefully and in smalllll quantities - a bit of my own knowing of music and this is one that they liked for the organic fluidity of the dancing . . . . steven

rick - it is in the ultra-cool and intelligent world of laid backness that you'd find in the lofts . . . steven

steven said...

valerianna - itunes, youtube. i love his most recent full disc - "space is only noise". it gets a lot of play around here . . . . steven

So danceable (if that is a word, and if it isn't, it is for today!

Love it, the strong beat and the extraordinary sound. As I play the bodhrán, I just went with it with my whole being ... and is that not what dance is??

Love the inspirational dance moves!

Even the mouse was clicking to it.

Jo said...

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this. Each dancer feels the rhythm on such a personal, visceral level. I adore watching how music moves the soul!

steven said...

aguja - danceable is a word if you create it and live it!!!! steven

steven said...

jo isn't it so very good . . . i'm rediscovering the dancer in me and this piece just opened me right up . . . . .steven
