| Rolivas (Pasco, WA) | Posted: Dec 28, 2012 - 08:59 Close Cover - One of my most favorite piano melodies I hadn't heard for a long time! Thank you so much for including on this cloudy Fri morning. It just imbues hope! |

Is it related to the movie or it's just the mood you are in at the moment? I don't know as for my funeral I'll be a bit absent. So whatever they want to have a little fun is fine. But I do like the delicate atmosphere of this piece of music. :) |

| phlattop | Posted: Dec 04, 2008 - 11:04 That's quite a playlist you've got there. Thanks for sharing it. JohnBauer wrote: Well done, RP! (This makes up for all the Tom Petty, Death Cab for Cutie, Santana, and other rubbish in daily rotation.) Mertens is well-known in Europe, but less so in the US. Normally director Peter Greenaway has minimalist composer Michael Nyman do his soundtracks, but Wim Mertens did the excellent score for Belly of an Architect. Being highly experimental, some of Mertens' work is quite abstract and IMHO thoroughly unlistenable. But Close Cover is considered to be among his best work. (click here) to see Mertens doing this track live. (click here) for another clip, Struggle for Pleasure, from the same film. Anyone who liked this track might enjoy some of my minimalist and other recommendations. (click here) And yes, that is Brian Dennehy as protagonist in the film.   |
| DrCyKosis (~Galveston~) | Posted: Dec 04, 2008 - 10:48 I know this tune, just cannot place. I'm wondering if this is off an old Narada label...any ideas? |

| MM13 (High in the lo country) | Posted: Jan 24, 2008 - 05:44 Wim Mertens is a Belgian composer, who wrote this music for Greenaway in 1987. Michael Nyman has written a lot of Greenaway stuff as well, but mostly after that, as far as I know. You can get more info about Wim Mertens from www.wimmertens.be |
