Modern Classical Playlist – Other than what I hear on CBC radio I actually didn’t listen to much classical music growing up, but then around 2010 I started discovering artists like Nils Frahm and Olafur Arnalds, which completely changed my assumptions about classical music being stuffy and dated. Consistent with my general theme of Headsash Music, this playlist contains a lot of tracks by artists that are taking their genre in a whole new direction. They are still amazing composers, but are embracing technology by adding subtle effects to their instruments, using looping and incorporating minimalist electronica into the production, giving the music a more contemporary sound.
