I discovered Arvo Part a few years ago when I was obsessed with Duncan Sheik (before he became the new Steven Sondheim) and he quoted Arvo as being one of his influences. Thus, being a You Tube junkie I punched in Arvo Part's name and these two videos came up and then add to the mix - Bjork! If any of you have been following my blog you know why I adore her...
Anyway I found this BBC TV thingy where she offers her "minimalist" influences...
I offer these videos.
I wish I was a true artist. I wish I had a focus and a vision. I wish...
But these mutha's give me inspiration so I share it with you.
Whether you get or agree with the people in these videos you have acknowledge their focus and desire and lack of commercial bullshit.
please watch.

We used a lot of Arvo Part's music in Steve Maler's production of THE DUCHESS OF MALFI back in 1993. I hadn't thought of that until I saw your post(s). Also, loved Daniel's videos - he is a genius!!!!
