- GYORGY LIGETI - ATMOSPHERES (1960/1) Gyorgy Sandor Ligeti, Transylvania 1923 - Austria 2006. Gyorgy Ligeti was, along with Karlheinz Stockhausen, Iannis Xenakis and Pierre Boulez, one of a group of composers that revolutionised postwar music. Perhaps his most notable, certainly his most famous, piece was Atmospheres from 1960. It is the best known of his micropolyphony/soundscape pieces.
This work featured, along with Ligeti's Requiem and Lux Aeterna, on the soundtrack of Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey.

THANK YOU FOR VIEWING, AND PLEASE ENJOY!
As a first year musicology student, this work won me for modern music. I saw the terribly complex score, and instead of the expected cacophony I heard this sublime "blur" effect. Not Stockhausen, not Cage, but Ligeti was the greatest visionary of the past century, only he wrote modern music that made you forget it was modern!
For this music is not necessary images. Listen with closed eyes is better. Is more suggesting and hypnotic...
Bravo Ligeti!!!
I thankyou for putting this here on youtube, but having read the comments on this page, I must confess I didnt bother looking at the video. Ligeti's music means something personal to ME, and therefore MY visuals are what is mattering atm :)
Thank you for your comment! What i admire about Ligeti is his endless exploration of sound. Your English is excellent!
this is...whaeeeee!!!!!!!
thanks for posting it, door2yourheart!!!!!
@door2yourheart To be honest I Think the visuals seem more at home when looking back to Ligeti's work being used on 2001. They are reminiscient of the Star Gate, and looks perfectly fine to me. The extraneous noises in the background are fairly distracting though :)
Thank you for posting this!
You can hear someone eating around 3.00 mark.
adds to the intensity of the music :S
@alexandergreenb Thank you for correcting me on the film info--sometimes film goers get the incorrect facts or don't do enough research. Its fascinating to see back stage stories of the great films.
Ligeti, otro gran compositor que abrió nuevos caminos a la música...Puro genio...
54 strings, noone playing the same note. Can you imagine just how frustrating it would be to perform this?
4:46 sounds like a swarm of bees... such weird and amazing music. Thanks for posting.
One of the most important music of my life.
Yeah, I know the man simply from his work in Kubrick's films, and in Requiem I believe there is nothing except the vocalizations... I could only imagine the frustration...
Great music ! It changed my life
Seems more beautiful than ever....
It wasn't Coke, it was either cheap, screw top wine or the fizzy water i added to it. I much prefer that combination to Coke, i rarely drink the stuff.
Thanks for your comment tho, and well done for spotting the sound!
A nice visual tribute to this composition but isn't it already in its proper use in Kubrick's 200: A Space Odyssey? I recommend the 2001 filmwork if many fo the younger set have missed it after 42 years! Superb! I cannot think of the worlds, or words. . . . just go see it! -Mark Seibold- Artist-Astronomy Educator please search markseibold common web site name
Totally awesome video.
Excellent point. Great music though, thanks for the upload
@sbsrocks That's me opening a bottle of wine and pouring a glass full! :-)
What visuals would you like to suggest as an alternative? All sensible ideas (as if!), are welcome! The visual was chosen because it responded to the subtle or otherwise nuances of the audio recording.
Just a suggestion, send me some pics of your puppy, and/or pics of you and your idiotic college friends. I will make a special version just for you!
Best of luck with growing up!
@windstorm1000 He wasn't picked to do the 2001 score. Kubrik used his Requiem and Lux Aeterna pieces without asking him. While he greatly admired the film, he was somewhat (understandably) irritated by the fact that his music was placed alongside that of Johann and Richard Strauss.
I have disputed WMGs claim that the audio copyright is infringed. As a result, well just listen and enjoy!
@ShibuBaka - Considering that Ligeti's music doesn't really require visuals, at all, why not just commend the person who was good enough to post it and enjoy it without necessarily watching?
Thank you, it's wonderful! Can you tell us who's conducting, please?
I love this! :)
Yes, in his soundscapes he seems to deliberately blurr the definition between the sounds of individual instruments.
Viva la musica. Este tio es un genio.
There are instruments in the Requiem.
Actually, I'm working on an easy TAB ukelele version of Stockhausen's Gruppen... It's going to take me ages!
Sorry, but I happen to agree with yurodivy1906 - if you would like to see some fantastic visuals that fit well with Ligeti's music, I'd suggest watching Kubrik's 2001... (which you mention in your spiel about the video so no doubt you are familiar).
I can stick the piece in itunes and turn on the visualiser and get a similar result (or is this how you generated your video? No offence intended).
Hi! I have disputed WMGs copyright claim, and the music is now back on!
wat about the video? im purist, and i think that the best music is done when the only mean of expression is music, that way all emotion is focused into it rather than supporting or being supported by other means. So i wouldnt mind if the screen was black, and this is pretty close to it...
here reminds me of the movie 2001 Space Odyssey!
Lol, you sussed it! I just pointed the cam at Windows visualisations and added it to the audio!
It was probably 9% German wine half and half with fizzy water. My usual mid week beverage. Plenty of it tho!
@windstorm1000 Also, "Wall of sound" is a concept from 50s pop music. I'm not sure it applies here.
Oh dear! At about 3.00 you can hear me opening a bottle of wine and pouring it!
I can see why he was picked to do the score of 2001, SO--very wall of sound--eerie outerspace.........
lol we've wrote a test about sound clusters like this but about Penderecki's
At least in this one they are playing instruments. Some of his other works require similar textures from vocalists. That said, I am sure a performance of this piece is no easy task...
@ShibuBaka So is that approval or disapproval? What happened to the end of your message, i am amused and intrigued?
Gracia your comment
mil imágenes en sonido.
@Ear4Beauty Xenakis I think
Sorry giandoom, i was just experimenting with music and images on CZcams. You can always scroll up so you dont see the images if you dont want to see them. I am all for free streams of thinking, but as this is a video site, i thought i would post a visual interpretation.
the will of the universe!
This sort of sounds like the pre-landing music for the mother ship in Close Encounters, eh?
love it love it, but still, i feel little uncomfortable in some parts of it as it is so mysterious
Music is listening.
@eggz01 It is a piece :)
I love this piece but I've always found those high notes from 3:30-3:50 to be brutal.
Video is not from 2001!
Have you got easy TAB guitar for this?
caguenlaleche, el audio era muy bueno.
This is on the new Godzilla trailer!
What's Godzilla trailer?
Alan P a trailer about the movie godzilla
Music and visuals are not bedfellows. Music is hearing.
The clowns at WMG are shooting themselves in the foot by cutting off their content from an entirely new and interested audience. I'm all for fair compensation for the composer/artist, but the labels seem to be more interested in exacting their pound of flesh from CZcams than in actually running a productive business these days. Repeal the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act and institute compulsory licensing NOW!
@yurodivy1906 music is for listening, not for watching.
Gotta love those eating sounds
OMG! now that you flagged this video for copyright content i'm so not GOING TO DOWNLOAD IT FROM ANY OF THE 300000000 SITES WERE I CAN GET IT. ¬¬
2001: A Space Odyssey
@yurodivy1906 Ever so sorry to have disappointed you! I'll try not to do it again!
remember music is also a form of expression, does not have to be in key or follow scales in harmony... hail dubstep
Thanks for the lesson.
@door2yourheart Way late, but I'd suggest using the Milkdrop viz plugin that comes with Winamp. Infinitely better than this sophomoric stuff.
Algo a ver com sons binaurais?
stuffed cats on the keyboard=charlemagne palestine
Well just enjoy your "nice" music then, eh! Thanks for the view.
true. maybe it's on purpose.
... Is this supposed to scare the shit out of me?
This song.. well not really a song.. itz rlly scary..
Thank you, i totally agree! Its probably just their Jewish/capitalist mentality!
LOL!
lol xDDDD
@yurodivy1906 So you retract your previous assertion that you are a music snob? It was YOU who attacked ME, so i am entitled to retaliate! If that's a problem to you, then don't attack, simple isn't it?
I really do not care whether you approve or not, just that you can back up your shallow criticism with valid, alternative proposals, which you have thus far failed to do.
Your dubious qualifications (boasting),are pointless in regard to youtube music visuals, sorry, but sadly in your case true!
@nazipose72z Wierd, at least !
Put down the chips!
aahahahaha
put a cat on a keyboard, sounds same as that crap
WMG: FAIL.
sorry - even if I wanted - I can't like it ...
here reminds me of the movie 2001 Space Odyssey!
