Fresh off the discussion going on here a few days ago, Flavorwire came out with a list of “Indie Rock’s 5 Favorite Classical Composers.” And the winners are:
1. Karlheinz Stockhausen
2. John Adams
3. Claudio Monteverdi
4. Steve Reich
5. Arvo Pärt
These composers are supposedly big influences on the music of Dirty Projectors, Negativland, Owen Pallett, Clogs, Nico Muhly, Basic Channel, Simon Bookish, A Sunny Day in Glasgow, and Radiohead. I think we need to make a definitive list of Classical Music’s 5 Favorite Indie Rockers. Okay, so who are Classical Music’s 5 Favorite Indie Rockers?
Which indie rockers are most ‘relevant’ to Big Indie Classical Music?
Who are your 5 fav indie rockers for your classical music compositions?
Will there be a spike in Monteverdi album sales because of that Flavorwire post?
Are indie rockers gonna start playing the viol?
Is Nico Muhly an indie rocker or an indie-classicist?
