RE: 1918: Achille-Claude Debussy-- The Imaginative World Is The Only Real World
This is great! I love the (then-) experimental idea of making music for a topsy-turvy world using the diatonic scale, etc. It fits in with the themes of Dada, too. Maybe you are also a fan of Erik Satie?
Oh, Erik Satie!!! He was a weird but talented musician. I heard some anecdotes about him. Someone said that he had the interest in collecting umbrella and making some strange notes on his piano score, like "light as an egg" "play like a nightingale with a toothache"... It's funny to talk about him!
