Billy-Pilgrim Beautiful music!
-
Tonkatoy1986 Brilliant
-
gl00mer His music fills my mind with ideas and alternatives, which is only one of the many reasons why I love his compositions
-
kmysko I guess "From me flows what you call Time" is truly touching music. genius
-
progtrance7 trve that bro
-
WindingNumber If I could only hear the works of one composer for all time, it'd be really hard for me to pick anyone but Takemitsu. Master of every mode of 20th century expression.
-
phylloxr `Legacy to the Future`.... the most underrated masterpiece of his, I think.
-
AztecPortal His soundtrack to "Kwaidan" is brilliant !
-
tidawilson He reminds me of Messiaen. Wonderful.
-
kotuko On tour? What?
-
inviserase The music is so beautiful, So Zen-like I could disappear into.
-
jamesfaggo Up there with Stravinsky. Some scary shit.
-
kalkididymus Not surprising that I love his music. It appears that his inspirations, among others, are Debussy and Messiaen.

Have you ever listened to `Kwaidan` and `Legacy to the Future`(NHK tv series soundtrack)? braethtakingly beautiful!
-
mosesxan Somebody needs to map this page and this page together.

Alphavillain Along with Morricone, the greatest composer of film soundtracks...and of course so much more besides.

bogdan_dullsky excellent
-
Mynameisluca this is really really good..

twisted_finger 2 SirAlecHendrix: maybe they call it "japanese" because Takemitsu used shakuhachi, biva, taiko drums and other japanese percussion in his orchestral works =)

SirAlecHendrix
i'm trying to understand why takemitsu and his music is tagged 'japanese', because after listening to his wonderful music i didn't recognize a specific japanese musical trait. i guess, a japanese composer doesn't need to write 'japanese music', and his music isn't national or culturally restricted in any way. just listen ...

Debtfromabove @ eumaios, no, but I definitely want to. Gonna track down whatever I can found by this guy. He's fantastic!
-
Frippgamesh Thanks a lot, both were perfect for my project on him :)

ekkert or november steps, which i just discovered today

Try "Hell's Picture Scroll" from the RAN soundtrack. Uncomfortably emotional. (RAN is more of an example of combining Western/Japanese orchestral setups, while the Kwaidan soundtrack shows him combining a traditional Japanese starkness of sounds along with European Musique concrète methods)
-
Frippgamesh
Can any of you please recommend a piece that shows his Japanese musical influences? I would love to hear how he combined western and traditional music.
-
be_quiet_peter
I can't believe he did Kwaidan! That's been one of my favourites since grade 8.

danielj666 Am I the only one who find some of his music scary? :P
-
Aeroaviones hey... I hear the water dreaming.
-
blarkan Amazing soundtracks. I like Tanin no kao, Suna no onna, Ten no amijima, Tokyo senso sengo hiwa and Kuroi ame especially.
-
SonOfTheWookie As far as I'm concerned, definately the most tolerable classical composer.
