Terry Jennings :: Piece For Cello And Saxophone (1960)
Terry Jennings phantasmic presence runs quietly throughout the early history of minimalism—a whispered name with previously only a meager handful of bootlegs and collaborations to his credit. Piece for Cello and Saxophone corrects that at long last as the first proper document of Jennings as a composer, a resurrected score as monumental in the minimalism’s development as La Monte Young’s “The Well-Tuned Piano” or Terry Riley’s “In C.” It’s a work to be experienced—90 minutes of sustained tones in a glacial chorale, shifting between shades of light and dark, harmony and dissonance, peace and disquiet.

Propaganda: There is really no one else like them. Landing in the middle of the New Romantic era in London, the Pogues married punk’s contrarian tendencies with the fire of Irish folk music. They made music about displaced immigrants, political prisoners, and Celtic warriors, including the most popular Christmas song year after year in the British Isles, ‘Fairytale of New York’ .
I wasn’t prepared for how sad I’d be when Shane MacGowan died this past November, even though I’d been expecting it for a while.

ok so remember that fantasy au you were gonna make? ok well i got inspired by it and kinda made a spin off of it
fd1 is called the avion region (french for airplane)
alex is a cleric, clear is a mage, tod is an apothecary, carter is a hunter, billy is a knight, terry is a dancer, and valerie is scholar
the storyline goes, they have to find a gem in all the regions that will reunite all magic and defeat this guy called deces
alex, clear, and tod are a poly couple
billy and carter are a couple
alex has a cat familiar named destiny
fd2 is called the entasser region (french for pile up)
kim and burke are knights, eugene is a scholar, rory is a thief, kat is a cleric, clear is a savior, tim and nora are hunters, and evan is a merchant
same storyline, except alex pops in, stabs rory, and steals the feu gem
no couples, but kat mentions a girlfriend
kim has a butterfly familiar named angel
fd3 is called the rouleau region (french for roller)
wendy and julie are merchants, kevin is a knight, ashley and ashlyn are dancers, frankie is a thief, ian and erin are apothecaries, and lewis is a hunter
same storyline, but kim and burke help them out
all canon couples are couples here
wendy has an owl familiar named rosa
fd4 is called the degager region (french for clear)
ikikik, but i love this movie BECAUSE its awful
nick is an apothecary, lori is a merchant, janet is a hunter, hunt is a thief, george is a scholar, and andy is a knight
this storyline is a bit different, basically this region went to shit after their princess (clear) disappeared and they have basically no magic and are now ruled by that guy named deces
after they meet, nick and rory are a couple
janet and lori are a couple
racist carter doesnt exist
nick has a dog familiar named carmen
miscellaneous
after returning a gem, you are a savior
all characters carry over into the next region
deces can also be called fatimas
again, thank you for this idea! i would like your permission to turn this into a game?
This is incredible!!!
Do you mind if I add FD 5 to this?
I can totally imagine this being a RPG/Final Fantasy-type game!
Edit:
FD5 is called the Pont region (French for Bridge)
Nathan is a dancer, Molly is a cleric, Sam is a baker, Peter is a ranger, Dennis is a merchant, Olivia is a bard, Issac is a serf and Candice is a knight.
Olivia is the only bard in existence with an ability to shut the fuck up.
Sam and Molly are dating for the first half of things, and eventually break up to date Peter and Olivia.
Candice has been a knight ever since she was 14.
Peter burned the place Issac was bound to, he told me himself.
Sam has a dragonfly familiar named Jasper.

Pterry's signature humour is still developing in the first two Discworld books, so this pun at the end of Light Fantastic ambushed me like a non-guild thief in a Morporkian alley and had me suppressing a very big laugh in a very crowded restaurant.
"'There was a whole bunch of people across the street helping themselves to musical instruments, can you believe that?'
'Yeah,' said Rincewind, picking up a knife and testing its blade thoughtfully. 'Luters, I expect.'"
