I also want to investigate Takemitsu.


please let me know what you find as I only know a couple of his film things.



Will do - but it will probably have to wait for a little while! I've been exploring writings on music and landscape which is what led me to Canctus Arcticus (not landscape as such but nature of course) - Takemitsu has some water related pieces which is what I was interested in hearing e.g. Riverrun.
So following up your other post about exploring classical music I've found I'm doing it through nature and landscape (with some critical views provided by Schonberg's Lives of the Great Composers).


ok! if you are interested in music and landscape you might want to check out Alaskan composer John Luther Adams. There is a good chapter about him in Alex Ross' last book but "The Place We Begin", "In The White Silence" or "The Light That Fills The World" is a good place to start. "The Place We Begin" is like "Odin" meets Burial. In Alaska. Minimalism would not do it justice. His work is the definition of glacial.

This is a nice intro film ...
