The magic circle of infinity12/28/2023 Crumb’s soundworld, for those unfamiliar, can be sparseand magical. The work in question is a pair of piano sequences based uponthemes of the zodiac. " - MarkAlburger, 21st Century Music, June 2002 The presenceshe brings to this CD is nothing short of stunning. She captures all of Crumb's madness and mystery. But it is just as alarming to hear her soprano shouts of"Christe" and "Tora" and moanings as it was to hear Burge'sbasso. Her tempos and interpretation are decidedly her own. And, given the fact thatshe has generously recorded both volumes, this makes a handier one-CDcollection that either of the earlier. " Laurie Hudicek's brilliant,commanding, and virtuosic new recording of George Crumb's Makrokosmos, Volumes 1 and 2,can immediately take an honored place beside the classic recordings by DavidBurge (of Volume 1) and Robert Miller (of Volume 2). ![]() If you need to own one version of Makrokosmos, this is the one! Taking advantage of state-of-the-art digital recordingtechnology, producer Marc Wolf & Engineer Jeremy Tressler have capturedGeorge Crumb’s timeless Makrokosmos in stunning detail, clarity and dynamicrange, promising to take the listener literally inside the guts of a 9 footSteinway. ![]() Crumb closes the ‘magic circle ofinfinity’ with these exceptional works, fusing performer with instrument, musicwith timbre, primitive with modern, terror with romance, lyricism withviolence. These includethe use of metal chains, paper on the strings, wire brush, paper clip, metalthimbles, whistling and Latin incantations. 1 & 2 foramplified piano, has proved a worthy heir to its 18th and 19th century analogs.Makrokosmos is a multi-dimensional odyssey through a universe of metaphysicaltimbres created via a compendium of extended piano techniques. What emerged aftertwo years of painstaking distillation, Crumb’s Makrokosmos Vol. In 1971, George Crumb set out to compose aset of piano pieces the preludes of Debussy and Chopin as well as WellTempered Klavier of J.S. Let me know if I missed any other ways of increasing our infinity levels.22. Because of the way Magic Subgames work, unless there's a way to pull all of the cards from the initial game into the subgame, I don't think it's possible to actually preform this, but let me know if there is because I'd love to build a deck that attempts this. Going to 5 requires using infinite Magic Subgames via Sharazad to preform step 4 over infinite games. ∞^5 is mostly a theoretical, and I don't know if there's a way to preform it in game. This is also I think the limit for a legal deck. Because of Teferi's Protection on our opponent, we can still move to our next turn and be able to hit repeatedly. We're going to preform Step 3 every turn for infinite turns in a series. The only issue with this is that for it to work, your opponent must cast a Teferi's Protection as not to die when you hit them with literally unfathomable amounts of damage. Take infinite combat steps on a turn while preforming step 2. ∞^3: This is where it starts to get difficult in game. Attack with an ∞ number of ∞ power creatures. ∞: Simply attacking with 1 infinite power creature, or ∞ 1/x creatures. In addition, I think I've devised a legacy legal deck that can get up to ∞^4 if you allow the ∞ number to truly be infinite, which the game doesn't technically allow for. I got up to ∞^5, and I'm curious if there are ways to reach higher. So, like the incel neckbe- I mean totally pogchamp megamind that I am, I used Magic, or more specifically damage. ![]() This got me thinking if there were even higher tiers of infinity, and how I could contextualize them. I was intrigued by a talk Neil DeGrasse Tyson did mentioning countable and uncountable infinity, which I basically took as ∞ and ∞^2, because there would be infinite cases of infinity.
