One of the greatest sins against Music

has commercialized everything.

A sign is that kids grow up now
around ppl who no longer sing…
who no longer know poems by heart…

The difference btwn #COMPLICATEDNESS & #COMPLEXITY? COMPLICATEDNESS results when we break apart Nature’s fundamental simplicity/complexity complementarity cycle 🌈

COMPLICATEDNESS as meaningless
difficulty is always BAD;
COMPLEXITY as richness, as diversity,
is always GOOD.

Stravinsky in Hollywood Order DVD http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JRER9R2 or Blu Ray http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JRER9KY A film by Marco Capalbo "Stravinsky in Hollywood" is a documentary film exploring the film career of this legendary composer. It is the story of his trials and tribulations with the Hollywood Studios, the story of an "old school" European artist knocking heads with the brash New World. Stravinsky lived in the heart of Hollywood from 1939 until shortly before his death in 1971—longer than any other single place. He came expecting to find lucrative work composing for the movies. Although initially attracted to the cultural imprimatur of Stravinsky's reputation, the Hollywood Studios soon discovered that what they couldn't control, they couldn't use, and as quickly as they sucked him in, they spat him out. The film uses a combination of existing archival footage (some of it never before seen), contemporary interviews with experts in the field and living composers, and scenes from several big studio films of the 40s brought together—for the first time—with the music Stravinsky wrote for them.
