Good morning everyone and welcome back to the Untranslatable!

Good morning DJ Jagannath

Hello TAndy how's it going?

good morning. nice scary classical.

Morning Dale! Prokofiev is great for that, his Toccata is the best example lol

Just woke up, mornin Dale. Well kinda woke up. Not sure if my sleep between 4am and a few minutes ago was paradoxical insomnia or if I really was awake, but I feel rested enough!

All the better to listen to WPRB now

Good morning everyone! Loving this quiet start to my morning as I ready myself to head out to my annual physical with my doctor. Hi and bye!!

Mornin Rob, have a good one!

DJ Jagannath (host) "The Untranslatable" clearly translates into compelling music. I'm really enjoying this morning's selections, thank you.

Thank you Richard! This one's probably one of my more translatable shows haha

I'd wanted to explore to what degree a film/images and dialogue can really be represented in just music and accompaniment and the reverse in this show

Good morning, nice choices.

Morning! And thank you, hope you're enjoying the show

Oh this piece is awesome

I have some more Artemyev queued! He was actually one of the pioneers of electronic music, and does a lot of classical mixed with electronic stuff that was way ahead of his time

I feel exhausted after every time I watch Koyaanisqatsi.

I don't think I've watched the whole thing but I can imagine haha

Super cool score though

Yes, I love it! You have to see the whole movie from beginning to end. It's stunning.

Will do, I've been meaning to for a bit

@ Mike Tropiano I get exhausted just trying to pronounce it correctly ;-D

Try spelling it!

@ DJ Jagannath (host) Yes, the soundtrack is stunning, too.

Philip Glass has some of the best scores I've listened to, especially his one for Mishima by Paul Schrader

I'll add that to my "need to see' list. Thanks DJJ.

Its a stunning movie, incredible cinematography and stylization. Helps if you've read anything by Mishima or heard of him but its a great intro to a fascinating person

this philip glass piece is epic.

Paired with the visuals it's even better!

Everything is fine....

This song will be haunting me for the rest of the day 😶‍🌫️ GM Jagannath & all

always blew my mind that the girl was miss beadle from little house on the prairie.

Morning Christine! Somehow the one actual song in Eraserhead is far more eerie than all the noise in the soundtrack

Morning Dale ☕️ I did not know that!

morning christine. yeah, charlotte stewart...i've seen her in a few episodes of gunsmoke as well.

sitar! Sangeet Team approves!

Couldn't not include Ravi Shankar when Pather Panchali is one of my favorite movies

Good morning Dave, Christine, Mike, and Richard! Dozed back out there for a bit, every Monday morning is like a musical journey on here.

good morning, folks

Good morning DTO 😶‍🌫️ and TAndy 🚩 🐈‍⬛️

literally watched this movie last week hi

battle of algiers, i mean

I think I'd put that in my top 5

its very good

i just really like neorealist film

Thanks so much for the show this morning!

Anytime TAndy, hope to see you next week

Was away the last hour... G'Mornin' ALL. Thank you Dj Jagannath for the non-cheesy movie tunes. It has been a treat.

Of course Mike! Have a good day

And you as well!
