Nor mine. I'm one that likes a nice tune that I can hum to myself or at least
imagine myself dancing to.
May be technically brilliant but the sound clips were more than enough for me.
Mind you, I don't like much jazz either.
It's the mark of a great instrument when such differences exist so that's a
good thing and we can all enjoy our own particular tastes.

I find it interesting how taste varies from individual to
individual. How do we arrive at these different tastes, what stimulus while we
were growing up formed these variances? Although I do not doubt the man's
talent for a minute the "perfect" word I can use to describe what I heard,
especially at his site is "cacophony".
I do not know if it is my simplistic approach to life or my lack of
music theory but I think "if you are going to play music make sure it has a
point, it makes it more interesting for the listener."
This is not meant as a dig to the performer or meant to be harsh, I
just do not
understand it.
Discussion anyone?

I found an interesting site a youtube with Valentin Clastrier.Valentin's web
site in French with sound
samples!http://www.valentinclastrier.com/content/index.phpValentin plays and
briefly speaks (in French.)Just to mention: his music always defies perfect
words, but verycomplex and exciting.A thrill. Kind of rock slightly. Some jazz
improv., which he clearlyhas used devotedly with
the hurdy gurdy on his own DCs. It seems to bein D, the drone is hard to hear,
but model, like melodicly centeredaround A or the dominant tone, suggesting A
minor almost but with Ebin a D major that gives this an eastern feeling. The
"Barana Trio,"but it is more than 3 performers in this film. Behsat Uves
drums,Steven Kamperman soprano sax, Bart Lelivelt accordion... with
guestsValentin Clastrier/hurdygurdy, and Carlo Rizzo on the tambourine.Live,
April, 2007.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yib4QGNYja8&eurl=refernce-the trio's
