I'm going to list a bunch of notable composers that did their thing in the 20th century. 20th century music is extremely diverse and the history is actually extremely interesting, imo. Richard Strauss Gustav Mahler Arnold Schoenberg (and the rest of the Second Viennese School) Igor Stravinsky...

Dark Ambient Why does it make me uncomfortable? I'm pretty sure that's part of the purpose. I'd be frightened to meet the person that listens to Dark Ambient and can chill. Examples: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHbY9JWzKMg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZf10yhFXA0...

dR_wR34gFHU One of the best songs from Carmina Burana. Actually, Carmina Burana in it's entirety is pretty damn good. It's simply amazing that the feelings and emotions in the various songs are just as relevant as they were when the text was originally written, when Orff set them to music...

I have Arch Linux installed on my laptop with just the very basic tools I might need to do school work (LaTeX editor, compiler, graphing stuff, internet, etc.) I did this mostly because the vista installed on it became extremely bloated, booting up with 1 GB of RAM already being used. Now it...

-QGfumMe6qk 1W3NKbSjAmw Very simple, very repetitive, and very haunting. Good stuff by a dude that's still alive. :thumbsup:

You may like this thing called minimalism. Of the very little that I've heard, Shaker Loops by John Adams is very good. Other minimalistic composers include the likes of Steve Reich, Terry Riley, and Philip Glass. Changes happen slowly and one at a time. "Classical Music" as a genre is...

Currently I'd say: Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring

I recently realized I have access to lots of music through the Music Library at school, since then I've been taking advantage of this. I've been checking out a lot of composers I'm not familiar with and should be, with a focus on 20th century music. Anyway, Jean Sibelius is very good. I've had...

Yeah, those of us that are extraordinarily good looking tend to do that. There is no level of rigor in the link you provided. No level of rigor in anything you've said. The only one that's making an effort seems to be ParadigmShifter and those saying stuff about lack of data.

I'm confused. What does this have to do with Mathematics, Population Models, or the date of Adam and Eve? Math is a truly interesting subject, if you can accept it's rigor. Unfortunately it seems like rigor is not something you're interested in; you're just trying to fudge some ideas to prove...

Mathematics is not some universal truth. Especially when some humans pick some model that looks like it fits some data reasonably well. And even then, correlation does not imply causation or something similar fits. Anyway, Mathematics is a purely abstract topic with very little real world...

YE7VzlLtp-4 One of my favorites.

A couple shots from Monument Valley: And a couple from recent hiking trips: Hope you guys like them!

Perhaps something similar to BT's stuff (minus the percussion)? Example The only thing I'd like to see different in Civ5 is there needs to be more of just about everything. Especially from the Romantic Era stuff. There's just too much diversity and good stuff from that era to only include 5...
