Tom - you scared me! I thought you were talking about "Ligeti Man Meat" (which would have been even freakier given that he just posted something in soapbox...) |

What an amazing composer. He'll be missed.
Thanks for the post Tom. |

Just listened to "Lontano" and "Continuum". I'm going to have to reload my iPod. |

I recall reading once Kubrick's use of Requiem in 2001 was uncredited and used without permission. |

It was credited, but it's true he didn't get permission. |

Don't forget the Piano Concerto with Aimard.
If you only have 3 minutes, there's the dreamy Corde a vide from Etudes, Book One. |

Somehow, the idea of referring to oneself as "Man Meat" doesn't seem compatible with composing brilliant 20th Century works.
I do suspect, and have it on good authority, which I am not at liberty to explain, that the only things Ligeti and Ligeti Man Meat have in common are:
Won't drive an SUV; flip birds at Hummer owners.
Hate guns and hunting.
Don't need no widescreen plasma TVs or supercomputers to do stuff that doesn't need to be done.
