Alfred Hill

So, this blog needs updating. And it's exams period! Perfect time for procrastinating.

All I know about Alfred Hill is that he appears in my Music History notes in the ONE lecture we got on Australian composers under the heading "Some composers in the first half of the 20th century". And that's it. Also, that he was born in 1870 and died in 1960.

What it failed to mention is MOUSTACHE MOUSTACHE MOUSTACHE.

YOU. GUYS.

LOOK IT GOES TO TWO POINTS.


Less exciting, more Marshall-Hall-esque, but impressive hair height.


OH WOW. The moustache has points, the hair has impressive height and lustre. How did he do it?

ALL OTHER COMPOSERS GO HOME, THIS ONE HAS FLUFFY HAIR AND A MOUSTACHE THAT COMES TO TWO POINTS AND HE'S POUTING AND LEANING ON HIS HAND IN A PORTRAIT.

That's all.

Thomas Adés

What's that? A NEW SCHUBERT WAS A BABE POST?!?!?!? WTFWTFWTFWTFWTFWTF!!!!!
This is good news. THE BLOG ISN'T DEAD YET.

Man in question: Thomas Adès.

An English composer and pianist, Grove tells us that "Adès's music shows few signs of direct contact with the rigours of 20th-century constructivism, and he avoids the consistent textural fragmentation and formal disjunction of an Expressionist aesthetic."

STFU he's good-looking NONE OF THAT MATTERS.
