the buff who fell to earth

I literally just boosted this but the album title sorta buries the lede: this album captures versions of Philip Glass' "Glassworks" and Steve Reich's "Variations for Winds, Strings and Keyboards" performed on accordion and modular synth. Like, omg, I might just listen to this all day on repeat. Thanks, c_reider!

Boosting myself because I'm listening to this album yet again and I want moar Philip Glass on accordion.

Ask and you shall receive…a mystery email with a link to an album of Philip Glass covers on accordion. The Fediverse provides yet again. 🪗

@buffyleigh it's not part of the album, but now I'm imagining an accordion cover of Helen's Theme from Candyman and I feel like I'm sitting at an outdoor café being serenaded.

@jrdepriest Totally, I specifically feel like I’m being serenaded while inside the film Amelie, as an extra in a cut scene…

@buffyleigh I can smell the cigarette smoke.

@buffyleigh that’s brilliant!

@satsuma right?!

@buffyleigh now I want some Philip Glass
(after brutal death metal album, as the universe planned)

the buff who fell to earth 2d ago

@glitcx natural companions!

@buffyleigh missed this when you first posted so i’m happy you did the ol’ boost… this sounds right up my alley!

the buff who fell to earth 2d ago

@brhfl it's sooooo good

@buffyleigh i’m only halfway through the second movement, but i agree 😹

@buffyleigh There is an organ version of Glassworks but I can't really see past Ólafsson's more traditional take I'm afraid.

@AccordionBruce this 👆 seems up your alley

We haven’t got that one yet

But added to our #AccordionBandcamp recommendations

And the $10,000 #accordion wishlist I’ve got on my #bandcamp account

I write artists asking for music to play on @accordionnoir radio but even that is overwhelming 🌊 🪗😓

@AccordionBruce Maybe I'll tone down the "hey an accordion!" flagging. I'm glad there's so much good material that it's in abundance, and hope it doesn't swamp you toooo much

No no, @nicheinterests and I used to boost every organic mention of the #accordion on the other site

Personally filtering tens of thousands of bots pushing accordion blinds, doors, books, and any number of other non-musical uses

Making #AccordionMastodon a thing has been a goal since we arrived

It’s started to pick up lately

There’s still far fewer players promoting or talking about their work

@anja is an inspiring exception we met here 🪗

Thanks for sharing that track! Very aqua-atmospheric, like scuba exploring a semi-submerged wreck that creaks in the swell.

Pretty sure we’ve played every track from that album on @accordionnoir radio 📻

Including the 3rd and 5th of our multi-hour #drone #accordion episodes
