Sex and minimalism

[Sean]

I posted some stuff on sexuality and minimalism here a while back, though I've since revised it a great deal, and I also have some notes on the relationship between orgasm and the Big bang and Big crunch singularities at the beginning and end of the universe. http://www.good-music-guide.com/community/index.php/topic,5424.60.html

And I'm not alone in this, as per this Youtube video-

By all means let this sink, but there are interesting links between the mind-filling, Dionysian experiences of repetitive processes in minimalism and in sex...

Excuse my arrant stupidity I am really a simple soul

Are you saying that if I listen to Philip Glass I will get sexually aroused??

It's just that it hasn't happened yet

Maybe I should try harder

bwv my friend, your post misses the point and I've complained about it on grounds of sexual repression.

Too tired for minimalism tonight, eh, Karl?

[Sergeant Rock]

Viagra and Glass...a sure cure for an ailment that plagues some of a certain age.

Quite the opposite

I have never seen a porn movie with a serialist soundtrack

Something must be wrong because I am agreeing with Sean, but I have often said that the soprano in Dance No. 1 does sound rather orgasmic.

I was absolutely drunk with this piece when I first opened the packing and slipped it into my CD player.  I was sure something bad was going to happen to me because I was in such a state.  Well, the date I got the CD happened to be September 10, 2001.  For proof, see my Amazon.com review.

Ok, now Sean its your turn to make this whole minimalism, orgasmic 9/11 thing into a conspiracy.

[Guido]

Wow that's pretty strong advocacy for this work Catison! Sean I think is as big a fan as you - isn't it the piece you've listened to more than any other Sean?

Must give it another go.

If anything, it'll be like having stood in the antarctic naked for a few minutes.

Well, I'll also have to remind you that this was 7 years ago, and I was a different listener then.  But at the time it was pure heaven.

I also had to write a review and mine appears first on the same list there, under I.McHugh (yes my official name's Ian but friends, and GMGers, call me Sean).

I have this disc and it literally drives my wife up the wall...not into the bedroom 

I think it has a certain charm; kinda reminds me of the seaside when I was a kid

Where does Mahler fit into all of this?
