Radiohead explain the story behind the creation of its Kid A Mnesia Exhibition, out today on PS5 – PlayStation.Blog. Hello.So…Right…Now then… Things have been happening… To mark a period of 21 years since the expulsion of Kid A and Amnesiac from a converted barn in the Oxfordshire countryside into an unsuspecting world we’ve built… something.We aren’t sure what it is.
To start with, when we first started thinking about it, we intended to build a physical exhibition/installation in a central London location. It was going to be a huge red construction made by welding shipping containers together, constructed so that it looked as if a brutalist spacecraft had crash-landed into the classical architecture of the Victoria & Albert Museum in Kensington. This astounding steel carapace would be inserted into the urban fabric of London like an ice pick into Trotsky. Our dream was dead.Until we realised…It would be way better if it didn’t actually exist.Because then it didn’t have to conform to any normal rules of an exhibition. So… We had one guiding principle, visually.NO NEW WORK. Like really. The inside track on classical music and related cultures, by Norman Lebrecht. Beethoven's unfinished 10th Symphony is finally completed. When Ludwig von Beethoven died in 1827, he was three years removed from the completion of his Ninth Symphony, a work heralded by many as his magnum opus.
He had started work on his 10th Symphony but, due to deteriorating health, wasn’t able to make much headway: All he left behind were some musical sketches. Ever since then, Beethoven fans and musicologists have puzzled and lamented over what could have been. His notes teased at some magnificent reward, albeit one that seemed forever out of reach. Now, thanks to the work of a team of music historians, musicologists, composers and computer scientists, Beethoven’s vision will come to life. I presided over the artificial intelligence side of the project, leading a group of scientists at the creative AI startup Playform AI that taught a machine both Beethoven’s entire body of work and his creative process. Past attempts hit a wall Beethoven completed his Ninth Symphony in 1824, which concludes with the timeless “Ode to Joy.” Turbulent Music, Turbulent Life. Early in E.M.
Forster’s novel Howards End, the Schlegel sisters, Margaret and Helen, attend a performance of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. For Helen, the flighty younger sister, the music functions as the soundtrack to a story unfolding in her mind. She identifies the symphony’s themes with characters and events—heroes, shipwrecks, elephants dancing. Most important is the third movement, the Scherzo, whose main theme represents “a goblin walking quietly over the universe, from end to end.” The goblin theme insinuates to Helen that there is “no such thing as splendor or heroism in the world,” and the movement represents Beethoven’s struggle to vanquish this nihilistic thought. The novel goes on to prove the point: when Helen rushes out of the hall, overcome by emotion, she accidentally takes an umbrella belonging to Leonard Bast, setting in motion a chain of events that will end in his ruin and death. Music scholars and computer scientists completed Beethoven's Tenth Symphony aided by machine learning.
What just happened?
Artificial intelligence has completed Beethoven's Tenth Symphony—or at least, what that piece of music could have sounded like had he finished it. A world premiere of the music will take place on October 9, 2021. In 1817, the Royal Philharmonic Society in London commissioned Ludwig Von Beethoven to compose his Ninth and Tenth symphonies. He completed the Ninth Symphony, which concludes the fourth movement with the all too familiar "Ode to Joy" (below). Due to declining health and his subsequent death in 1827, he never completed his Tenth Symphony.
The Karajan Institute partnered with a group of scientists from AI startup Playform led by Ahmed Elgammal. The Opera You Will Like: "Dido and Aeneas" by Henry Purcell. When somebody asks me, “What should I start with if I want to try listening to opera?”
I usually answer, “Listen to Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas.” It is incredibly beautiful, relatively short, and surprisingly understandable. We can easily understand Dido and Aeneas thanks to its English-language libretto as well as its Romantic spirit. Henry Purcell was ahead of his time: in the 1680s, he felt the moods of the nineteenth century, not so distant from us. In his opera, the composer created an image of a suffering person, surrounded by indifference and evil. Both Sadness and Joy. En.m.wikipedia.

There was less fuss abroad over Vaughan Williams’s 5th, but in London it was hailed as oracular – a statement by a great artist on the spirit of his nation and its depth of confidence.
The world premiere, conducted by the composer on June 24, 1943, was roared to the rafters of the Royal Albert Hall. How to Watch 'Christmas With the Tabernacle Choir' on Dec. 24, 2020.

The Magic Flute. 10 works of Beethoven that actually changed the world. 250 years ago, Ludwig van Beethoven was born – and the world was never the same again. These are 10 masterpeices from the German composer that altered everything forever. In ‘The Reign of Mozart’ Mozart’s life, like his music, almost defies description. “Mozart: The Reign of Love” is after something far more audacious than merely taking its place on the shelf alongside many hundreds of other books on the mercurial composer.
It aims to create a language capable of evoking the delight, pleasure and sexual buzz music can evoke, and to bring it to the level of discourse we usually save to describe “serious” music. The composer’s latest biographer, Jan Swafford, an American composer who has also written biographies of Brahms and Beethoven, recognizes his difficulty because Mozart’s music is so consistently — relentlessly — pleasurable to his listeners. No other composer “beggars language as Mozart does,” Swafford writes.
Yet a remarkable letter written by the composer as a 6-year-old prodigy gives Swafford a way forward. Beethoven can give us tools to criticise late capitalism. “These [French revolutionary] composers have a kind of godparental relationship to Beethoven’s symphonies.” When the music of Beethoven mingled with the music of Gandhi’s spinning wheel.

However, beyond this insignificant calendrical coincidence, was there any connection between the two? How could there have been? Gandhi, after all, was an ascetic who eulogised and practiced brahmacharya (narrowly understood as a life of celibacy). Beethoven, on the other hand, famously said: “Music, verily, is the mediator between intellectual and sensuous life.”
