Check this out: Jeff Mills & Montpelier Philharmonic Orchestra - The Bells

This blew me away! Well worth a watch!

YouTube - Jeff Mills & Montpelier Philharmonic Orchestra - The Bells

Enjoy! :D

blue potential
techno meets classical
opening track "the march" is a great piece, really tells a story, was a bit lost on the rst of the album tho

boring

I thought it was alright that. Interesting.

nothing wrong with some classical..I mean there isnt really much techno in it..nothing a drummer wouldnt do..

mills is a genius in such an instance however most expect 4 x 4 techno monsters from him..

if you dont appreciate classical you wont like this IMO

What I really love is seeing accomplished classical musicians playing a repetitive techno loop. I am sure they are thrilled.

The Bells is classic techno tune, but trying to put it in a classical music context?

FAIL.

does anyone know how the bells which is a great was made?

any idears?

some synth arpeggio at the end and some clever use of some samples is all i can make out.

i think the collaboration was a good idea but did not really work.

what is pretentious about classical music?

anyway.. i liked it. it didnt work the way i wish it had, but it was interesting, it was a decent experience and it's something i wish more artists would do - THINK OUT OF THE BOX!!
