Sonic Revelations, Sonic Revolutions

There is something about listening to De Yun that seems a little different to me than other composers we’ve covered in class.  Maybe it’s the fact that she’s a young, talented, female composer (something we haven’t ran across much), or maybe it’s just some sort of emerging genius in her work. I’m inclined to think it’s more the latter.  Listening to her music is a strange experience for me; it’s like I can feel exactly what is being communicated and yet I still don’t understand it.  I feel like her music isn’t completely developed yet, it’s still amazing, but I think there’s still a long way to go.  Her sense of texture is also amazing, the way she uses certain instruments in a completely new fashion blows me away.  Although I have noticed that it doesn’t seem to be as cool/make as much sense when I listen to it by myself than in class. Isn’t that funny?
