Enough cliches.

A while back I had a thread - Glaring Omissions - where I discovered I had gaps in my listening that should have been obvious given my listening practices - this is not that. In fact, this is quite literal - I recently discovered a whole school of composers that I hadn't heard of (I didn't even know they existed), and I wanted to share them, as their music is most definitely worth listening to.

Let me share how I got there first.

I was looking up the composer Youri Boutsko, and wasn't really finding anything until I found out that sometimes the last name is spelled Butsko.

That led me to a recording: Emancipation of Consonance (solo piano works of Russian New Simplicity played by Lukas Geniusas).

Geniusas led me to: Rarities of Piano Music at Schloss vor Husum from the 2018 Festival (I'll eventually go through this entire festival), specifically DuPont's La Maison dans les Dunes (pianist: Severin von Eckardstein).

I then looked up to see if Severin von Eckardstein recording the entire set, which led to his recording: Dupont & Debussy: Piano Works. I then glanced down at Presto's You may also like ..., and saw an image that drew my immediate attention: Vieri Tosatti: Opera omnia per pianoforte, and this led me to my newest batch of composers (see list below, in the order that I found them, lol).

Welcome to the forum. Do you have a previous identity here? The Glaring Omission thread was started by someone else.

This is trippy. Reads like first generation generative ai, lol.

For a moment I thought, "What the heck, hopefullytrusting changed username! Why?"

Where's the list then?
Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.

The only other thread I found was glaring omissions: Bach cantatas started by Utah Bill.

But yeah, I agree with Philo that the post is AI slop.

Seems like we have a bot that should be banned.

Yep. I gave them a chance because all the recordings listed are real and really contain the artists and tracks described. The description of the Presto listing is even correct. But maybe that just means that AI is getting better or this specific bot was trained on previous GMG posts  ???  ???

EDIT: I removed the bot but left this thread open in case anyone wants to talk further about its techniques.
