We are witnessing a legitimate rebirth of the avant-garde in the downtown scene right now. Why are people so afraid of maximalism? A composer taking fifteen musicians and blending the raw, destructive energy of a volcano with the literary depth of Dante and the grotesque satire of Rabelais is exactly the kind of "Gargantua" we need in this sanitized era. It’s not just noise; it’s an anarchic masterpiece that challenges the listener to find order within chaos. If you can’t handle the scale of fifteen instruments colliding with Renaissance philosophy, maybe you should stick to three-chord pop. Music should be an eruption, not a polite conversation. It's about reclaiming the intellectual and visceral power that music lost when it became background noise for streaming platforms. Pure genius. #culture #music #philosophy https://thoxt.com/l/YdJ5Jk 🔗
