Who is Sigrid and Why is She the Next Big Thing in Music?

[DennisN]

Holy crap, that is unreal. She did all that in her head?! Or just went with it?? Either way it is unreal. Brilliant. Mozart did this sort of stuff as a kid

Yeah, it's unreal . I have written music and I recognize the basic procedure, that is, you get things in your head, you play with it in your head, you sit down and improvise around it and if you are lucky you get a song or music piece out of it.

But there are stark differences here, hahaha; she is half the age I was when I started writing stuff, she does it on command, she does it extremely fast, she is masterful with the instrument and she plays it practically flawlessly. In short, a very rare talent, and out of this world .

I really like this song.
Gabriella Cilmi - Sweet About Me


Edit:
And here is a live version:

This os a perfect example of me missing some good music because it is popular on MTV or whatever these crazy kids watch, I am a 1970s muso snob! Just because its modern does not mean its rubbish. I liked this when it came out, quirky voice. Great!

We lost Walter Becker last year. A sad day for me.

Nice song! It gave me David Bowie vibes...

Steely Dan were just another of those totally original bands from the 70s all sorts of influences very jazzy but accessible. You just don't get that now (there I go again sorry!)

David Bowie was a one off. I read a great quote from Quincy Jones I think it was something like, "talent like that does not come along once in a lifetime, it comes along once." Bowie was one of those.

This isn't my fave Bowie but it when I was looking for him on YT not long after he died it made me cry a bit when I watched it. This is a different post as it has him chatting at the start but its from the same TOTPS. Man that note he changed at 2.13 just beautiful. He could do so much with his voice. Anyway enjoy.

Another original band with a distinctive sound

 

[pinball1970]

This is very pretty, used from House season 4 I think - 2004 which is pretty radical for me!

 

[pinball1970]

Closer to home for me, all local lads

 

[BWV]

John Cale and Terry Riley - Church of Anthrax (1971)

 

[Fig Neutron]

Hmmm, I’m having trouble coming up with music I like that wasn’t made before I was born. Here is my attempt at posting some music from “my time”.



A contender for strangest music video.


Yes, I listen to the clean version.

 

[Fig Neutron]

These three songs were made in the late 90’s, not too long before I was born. I tend to prefer older music.

I like the Foo fighters and Queens of the Stone age. My son likes Greenday plus a load of stuff I don't know!

Here are a few songs from some of my favorite bands.

 

[Aufbauwerk 2045]

More from Latvia.

 

[Aufbauwerk 2045]

One more from Latvia. Have a nice Sunday.

 

[Aufbauwerk 2045]

This song is about the Belovezhskaya Pushcha of Belarus. We must protect the remaining ancient forests.

 

[Aufbauwerk 2045]

Awesome dancing in video #1.

 

[Aufbauwerk 2045]

Back to reactor science etc. But first here's one more beautiful song for a peaceful Sunday. Thanks for opening this thread.

[Spinnor]

I did not know this until recently that if you right click play triangle you have the option of looping the song, playing it over and over again, which might be appropriate for many of the above favorite songs.

 

[Spinnor]

And two live performances with them:

Led Zeppelin flavored, good stuff!

 

[StevieTNZ]

I quite like this song --

 

[BWV]

Burt Bacharach turned 90 yesterday

 

[DennisN]

I don't only like her, I am a fan already

Oh yes I am, and I have just bought tickets to Roskilde Festival in Denmark so I will see Sigrid and her band live on July 7...
It was more than ten years since I was there, and I'm going to watch some more bands that day, including Gorillaz...

(a powerful live performance by Sigrid and her band in a club is here, from Velvet Undergound, Toronto (04/11/18))

...and I am going to see the good rock band Monster Magnet live very soon in a pretty small club, I've seen them before
and they are very good live...

And a cool song (a bit "Stonesy"):

 

[rokytnji]

Ok. This I can handle. I think?

 

[Fig Neutron]

Ok, I know this style isn’t for everyone, but I hope someone enjoys these.

Please give these a chance but feel free to skip through, most of them are quite long.

one more sad song

Burt Bacharach turned 90 yesterday

Brilliant just brilliant. One more that is one of my faves below

 

[pinball1970]

You posted Klaatu "calling occupants" on February 11th. It had to happen!

 

[pinball1970]

one more sad song

In library and no head phones so I can't hear Suzanne it but if its the one I like I really like it. If I am wrong I won't take like back!

 

[pinball1970]

Ok, I know this style isn’t for everyone, but I hope someone enjoys these.

Wakeman is a genius its as simple as that. Love him and Yes

One more



There is one chord change that gives me goose bumps - I think its like an Am7 on F# bass then to Fmaj7 where the words are "They'll make you a star" after LA is a free way

HP BD Burt - thanks for the 60s - you wrote some of the best bits!

Garbage - I Think I'm Paranoid and Stupid Girl (live):

 

[Aufbauwerk 2045]

I've been number crunching for the last two weeks and it's getting to me just a bit. When all I can think about and dream about is quadratic residues, it's time for a little break. So tonight I just wanted to see what's new on PF and contribute another favorite song or two. This video, according to what I've heard, is in the Museum of Modern Art. Supposedly it's one of the very first ever music videos. For those who are unfamiliar with Captain Beefheart, I hope you enjoy the introduction.

P.S. I changed the link to an updated version of the same event. It's longer and has better sound.

 

[Aufbauwerk 2045]

Some signing off music.

 

[Aufbauwerk 2045]

 

[Aufbauwerk 2045]

My last one for this week. Thanks for sharing videos.

 

[Aufbauwerk 2045]

The Stockhausen track was VERY strange..

I read that the reason one of the MIDI patches is "helicopter" is because Stockhausen wrote for that "instrument!"
