Surprised by Beauty: Complete William Duckworth Recordings on Spotify

I woke up this morning to the sad news that William Duckworth, my favorite composer discovered on Spotify, has passed away. Read Kyle Gann's obituary Strange Times here.


I made a Duckworth playlist one year ago, but kept it unpublished, as most of the composer's works are recorded by Lovely Music, which is not on Spotify. I even wrote to the label, and Mr. Duckworth to ask if they could make the music available. Unfortunately I didn't know about his heath condition at that time, otherwise I would write more about how his music opened my ears to a whole new genre. I also noticed a Coldplay song sounded suspiciously similar to one of the Time Curve Preludes, and Mr. Duckworth kindly retweeted it last August. It would be a great pleasure if my little discovery brought a smile to his face.

Hear his music in this Spotify playlist: William Duckworth - Complete Recordings on Spotify (54 tracks, total time: 3 hours). Ctrl (CMD) + G to browse in album view. For postminimalism, see my previous playlist.

Rest in peace.

    This new golf shop, located near the first fairway, has twice the floor space of the previous one. Augusta National officials spent more than $50 million last year to construct a new press building at the end of the driving range, and now we know why to make space to create a golf shop unlike any other. It is elegantly appointed and has 385 mannequins and 64 registers..

    "I didn't even know what it meant. I thought it was a joke about how I had conditioned them so hard," Feehan said. "None of the administrators knew womens st patricks day shirts what it was or that any of them were doing it in advance. The father may have initially signed his agreement to the adoption, but parents have the right to change their dad shirts minds until a court terminates their rights and the appeal period has expired. It is unfortunate that a planned transition to her father care was not done in this case. That being said, Rebecca is where she belongs: with her father.
