cool in what way?  i mean, there's classical cool.  contemporary cool.  jazz cool.  i'd listen to some jazz and then just improvise something to turn several classical pieces into medley's.  end with something like liszt's hungarian dance #2 but add a cadenza to the end.  something where you end with the rh and lh's on the far extremes of the piano - and then bring your arms up in the air.

Tibetan Buddhist monk chants with electric bazouki backup.  Pianistimo doing the obbligato vocals.
Current repertoire:  "Come to Jesus" (in whole-notes)

why do you keep bringing me into these strange situations?  cmg - pick on someone else for these oblagatos.  how about thal?  he's probably flooded out anyways - and needs somewhere to go.

You mean contemporary-wise?  Like, what's the most esoteric, intellectual type stuff to listen to?


Probably Algorithmic stuff like Ghelhaar.
