This time it was very hard to decide on a nomination... ultimately I decided that I want the church organ, and then Anna von Hausswolff is on PA and probably better known than the Messiaen piece (as is probably Joe Jackson), so I'll go for the latter (despite Nicky as only commenter preferring the two others).

So Olivier Latry plays Olivier Messiaen's Apparition de l'eglise eternelle it is.

I have only heard some four tracks from the other suggestions yet, and I like them. Very good topic with nice ideas there!

I am certainly no prophetess as to what will win votes or not, lol.  But I have enjoyed the Fossato.  Smile

See above, Christian.  I hope we do get more commentary on all of this music.  Will try and catch up on Page 4 today.

First Takes on the additions of Mila and George, from Page 4:

Mila:  Gideon Freudmann “Rain Monsters”  Inventive and keeps a steady beat throughout (well, that’s looping for ya).  After establishing the main beat, the innovations ensue.  This has quite the rock jam sound to it, I haven’t heard much in this vein that goes that route.  Because of the looping, a more complex sound that most of the other offerings as yet.   Park Jiha “When I Think of Her”  This is on some sort of harp or zither or perhaps a koto sort of instrument.  Very pretty and soothing, she must be looping the one instrument and then adding the more reed or hornlike sound secondarily?  Ah, now I see in the video it is a hammered dulcimer or relative that is the plinky thing. She adds vocal toward the end of the piece.  

George:  Out of Competition, Angelica Garcia “Guadalupe”  I remember enjoying her before, George.  I enjoy both the visual part of her performance and the music as well, part of the fun is in watching her.  This is outside of what I typically like in terms of music only, but she really sells it with her attitude. 
As an aside, you must have an incredibly huge collection, with keeping an artist out of competition that you've brought before.  I would have been out of these polls ages ago, lol, if I gave myself that caveat.

Mila's mention of loops and effects reminded me of this vocal performance by an artist who I have nominated before, so not in this competition.
Angelica Garcia - Guadalupe

This is awesome! With a little bit of technical equipent you can do a lot and independently. Did you introduce her in a previous poll?

Yeah, that's what I was looking for. This "prepared piano" act that I introduced earlier is another technique to produce a richer sound. But given that we have quite a few piano or keyboard acts already I have tried to find an alternative. I'm a bit worried though that the cellist might be too well known, at least among you Americans?

Never heard of the cellist, Mila.  But that's just me, perhaps someone else is familiar?

I'm sure you know the Portland Cello Project, don't you? He's part of it.

   No, I don't, actually.  I live way out in the country, Portland is not a frequent trip.  Close enough to go from time to time, but not close enough to go to often.  Also, I've only lived here since 2014 (this time and last time was in the 70's and on the southern tip of the state).  

For comparison, Oregon is four times larger than Switzerland, yet it has a population that is about one-third the size, according to a quick query. Portland is only 34 miles from me, but they are winding country roads until you get close to the city, then it's very trafficky.  Takes from an hour to 90 minutes each way.

That was very cute, Mila, made me smile.  Smile

No, California is my home state, I've moved a lot, also lived in Colorado and Tennessee; back and forth over the years.  I grew up in a suburb of Los Angeles, way out on a peninsula, but LA proper was very convenient to my little port town, so we did get to see plenty of fantastic live music during those years, several venues being even closer than LA, as well as the ones up in LA and Hollywood.

My son spent a summer studying in Switzerland, in Geneva, he just loved it there and would not balk at the chance of returning.  You are lucky to live in such a beautiful country.

Oh, what a coincidence! What I like most about Switzerland is the multicultural aspect and also the central location of the country. The lanscape is diverse, many mountains and lakes but I do miss the sea! - I have some relatives in the U.S. i.a. two cousins in Los Angeles. I think that without them I wouldn't have seen half as much of that fascinating but also sprawling city!

Yes, I miss living next to the sea as well.  You could see Catalina Island from many of the homes in my hometown of San Pedro.  I also lived in Santa Cruz for quite a few years, a few blocks from the beach there.  Still may make one more move to be near the ocean, I've learned to never say, "this is the last move for me!"

Switzerland. 

I traveled by car through Switzerland to go to Germany twice. I remember the steps of San Bernardo and San Bernardino. I remember a motorway restaurant named Heidi.

I visited Locarno and Hermann Hesse's house in Montagnola.

I stayed for 5 days in Dornach (train to Basel plus tram that takes you out of town), in a house in front of Rudolf Steiner's Goetheanum, which I visited far and wide. But I don't know German! I taught 3 years in a Steiner's high school in Milan, the only Steiner's high school in Italy.

I stayed 4 days in Geneva (direct train from Milan). Gorgeous. Then I took with difficulty (I could not find the stop, and it was night) a bus that was going to Annecy.

Just that.
Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

That's interesting! I'm familiar with the anthroposophical philosophy to some extent. I have lived and studied in Basel and have several friends who are anthroposophs. I suppose you know that Beppe Assenza, an Italian painter who hailed from Sicily and studied i.a. at the Brera Academy in Milan, founded the Goetheanum Art School?

@Özugür - I will nominate: Rain Monsters by Gideon Freudmann. I'll note that in my first post (page 2).

I was quite undecided about my nomination. But given that we have quite a few piano/organ pieces this time around I'll go with the electric cello piece with a bit of a rocky flavour.

It was one of most beautiful places I visited in Europe. And how can you NOT love statues of giants eating children? LOL

When I was five. My family lived in Germany for a year and we took a trip to Switzerland. While I am sure it was beautiful, my lasting takeaway as a five-year old was Toblerone is great.
