Anyone know of great albums similar to his songs Avril 14th or Aistsan[102]? I have little musical context if this is a dumb question.
I like all his albums but those songs are really some of the most relaxing sounds I have heard.
- daeken 9y agoAvril 14th is one of my absolute favorite songs. It's my go-to song when I need to just relax and push away from reality for a bit; one of the few I can just put on repeat and be happy with.
- rmunoz 9y agoI just discovered the violinist Daniel Hope recently, and in the following album: http://www.danielhope.com/listento/for-seasons/ http://www.danielhope.com/listento/for-seasons/ you will find a beautiful cover of Avril 14th (Spotify link: http://open.spotify.com/track/3MjbuOV1RDEdXfyJwuzzOS http://open.spotify.com/track/3MjbuOV1RDEdXfyJwuzzOS)
- alexwilkerson 9y agoTry Chilly Gonzales - Solo Piano (first one). Then try Erik Satie and John Cage. Then maybe Goldmund and Yann Tiersen (Amelie soundtrack). Then give up and go back to Richard.
- 3131s 9y agoIf you like Satie and Cage, try Leos Janacek's piano music. I have sought out a lot of piano music in this style, but Janacek stands out for me.
- RobertKerans 9y agoMishima by Philip Glass (Kronos Quartet plays Philip Glass would be a good bet). The album Asperities by Julia Kent, just out last year, is pretty phenomenal. Systems/Layers by Rachels and Vulnicura Strings by Björk might work. Soundtrack to Requiem for a Dream. Note that there's an album of classical versions of Aphex songs by Alarm Will Sound which is very good (their Avril 14th is inferior though)
- jdee 9y agoNils Frahm's Screws Reworked is usually tagged 'new classical' but certainly has roots in the same space as Avril 14th. New classical as a whole is an interesting genre.
- coldtea 9y agoPhilip Glass piano works, as someone suggested are somewhat near (through more angular and less sentimental).
