I sort of skimmed the dialogue, and I haven't heard Godspeed yet, so forgive me if this isn't really the point, but:
Post rock is predicated on the use of rock instrumentation to generate an atmosphere, is it not? So technically, Scelsi can't be classified as such, and if we want to go further, he was composing this music really before rock came about in the first place.
Though it's possible to have influenced post-rock? I wouldn't know. I just know he makes my skin crawl. Just got The Orchestral Works 2, very excited.
