Sometimes I wonder how todays re-re-re-mix culture of popular music will be seen in 200 years from now. Will anyone care about todays songs? Will the only songs survive be the ones by the Beatles or other hum-along tunes. For me, and I’m shure for most of you it’s quite similar, classical music is reduced to a few well know ones like Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 or Mozart’s Magic Flute, and even there very tiny fragments. The fragments which are ease to hum. Anyone up for a Hum Theory?

Anyhow let’s dignify the people who are still writing classical music like Giovanni Sollima. He might never play in Madison Square Garden, but his writing skills are still terrific. These two videos are Lasse Gjertsen and are excellent pieces of how music videos could work for classical artists. No superstar attitude, no fancy dresses, no big stage, but very artisanic by both the composer/ cellist and of cause the video artist. Enjoy!
