Thanks for all this live stuff you find and post ... you provide a great service. I'm building up a big Feldman archive and stuff that's been recorded only once or not at all is gratefully pounced on.

where’s this from?

this was the first steve reich piece i ever heard. it was partially responsible for opening my mind to a lot of different kinds of music

1:12:34

Damn, these cuts are so deep they’ve awoken _TWO_ balrogs! Thanks for sharing this dude! I’d love to know the origins of some of these tracks!

I think I like this. I've been trying to listen to it all the way through several times during this week, and it's practically the only music I've been hearing. I've only managed to reach the ending once. I don't know if it is a masterpiece. Probably not. But it is such peculiar music. It becomes a part of the place where you are, covering it with a thin metaphysical shadow. It's like vapour, like the smell of distant rain, like a person who walks with you everywhere, following your movements, never saying a word, and just being there, filling the space around you with its presence. It's like a shadow that glows. This music has been like a companion for me these days. I'm thankful for it.

Interessant

i wamnt to be on meth in my van driving to new mexico to this song all nite with cucumber gatorade my basbe n matt norman cd after

Przepiękna muzyka która czuje się ponadczasowo

so delicious..

Congratulations to Christian Mason for winning the Grawemeyer!

went to the performance this evening by the London Sinfonietta. Despite many beautiful aspects , as a whole found it rather turgid but enjoying it more here oddly enough.....the tuba is poking through the texture better maybe helps. It shouldn't be too homogeneous perhaps or lends itself better to recording than live ?

Just to be clear... is this work the pre-recorded music that plays inside Laurie's fiddle while she fiddles?

Haunting visuals - I love the end!

Interesting.

Interesting.

wonderful to be able to listen to this gem now on youtube! A satellite work from Michaels Jugend (act one of Donnerstag aus Licht) for prerecorded choir (Unsichtbare Chöre), clarinet and bass clarinet. Who are playing?

Un beau morceau, bravo!

Thanks for choosing a piece by Clementi

Jimmy Falun Gong brought me here

This is very cool! How do you make these videos?

Beautiful palette of colours! It introduces a further dimension to the music rather than being simply reactive

That is sooooooo amazing!

Odd...I was actually whistling this as I walked to work...

The joke of this piece is that they should be played at HALF the speed they are being played here. This work satirizes the "fast and loud" school. It is Cage dancing on Paganini's grave.

what joy! thank you!

I find this very relaxing. This music is a sort of rest-cure for the ear, when it's overworked; so that it can start listening afresh.

Static, formless, too long. Not something to listen to attentively from beginning to end, as a work of art. Maybe useful as a background to doing housework. Time for the post-war avant garde to come down to earth.

Is it actually rue that he ordered the musicians to fart, at gunpoint, like at 10:54, 11:10, and 11:25?

I'm delighted with the video! Like the piece itself, there are so many things happening within the apparent minimal resources of just two notes. You have an uncanny ability to produce what amounts to a visual commentary on the music you work on.

👏 yes!

Please credit the image/video.

I was producing some music the other day and at a certain point I created a drone similar to this... I thought I was creating something original but today I found out about this masterpiece. Definitely I need a deep dive into La Monte Young's and TOEM compositions, what a great man he was!

beautiful

Sehr beklemmende Musik…

Love is the most powerful passion 💘

Wonderful quote from Terry Riley; “What becomes apparent on listening to an amplified well-tuned drone that La Monte has sculpted is a molecular world of sounds whose workings are ordinarily covered up by fancy rhythmic and melodic footwork. As the listener allows himself or herself to be drawn deeper into the sound, he or she becomes more and more astounded at all the elements that are functioning naturally without the aid of normal manipulation or musical performance... We enter with him here into the world of the sonic microcosm, where an interval becomes a landscape, each detail illuminated.”

It seems that we have the same musical tastes. I didn't know Christian Mason and it has been a revelation thanks

I'm fascinated by your artwork, which seems almost uncannily to mirror the music itself. Any interest in applying your talents to this one? th-cam.com/video/GgF6fFm_fuI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WBN2JjReIjwr9-p1

This sounds like a different piece altogether from the Hildegard Kleeb version that I've been listening to. This is way more energetic.

plebs in the comments🤓: "its just a bunch of dissonance and sparse arrangements that make no sense REEEEEEEE!!!!!!!" based joker-pilled patricians😎: "...you wouldn't get it... "

Great

This reminds me to Cities Skylines OSTs, good.

@not looking for New England you make your accompanying videos yourself, correct? I really love this one. Adds an interesting dimension to the music and is really creatively done. Very nice work.

Woke up at 4 am to listen to this: I’ll be updating my experience. 1:00:33 Damn! At first I was a little sleepy and skeptical but this really is very beautiful. There’s something about the repetitions and the quiet playing that makes me feel like this is some kind of musical “silence”. I feel lonely, really lonely right now. But not in a bad way… First hour done and yet it feels like nothing is moving. For someone who likes maximalists like Mahler this is on a whole new level. 2:00:44 Sun is out already, my thoughts wander from time to time but I try to keep my focus on the music. I cannot describe listening to this as other thing than religious, I don’t know if that was Feldman’s intention. 3:04:24 I find the most difficult thing about listening to this to be that the mind automatically will try to put the music in the background and distract you with other stuff. I suddenly catch myself not paying as much attention as before because I’m listening thinking on this or that. We find repetitions boring, but why? When I strip myself away of that concept I suddenly find every repetition as more powerful than before. 3:40:14 The world around me is starting to move and that’s annoying. All the quietness of the night is now replaced with street noise. Really makes you think about how much sound pollution we live in. Now I’ll have to cope with it and focus even harder to try to ignore everything in the background. 4:00:14 The quartet has reached its most beautiful point until now. The secrets hidden within this massive world of sounds are a testament to the genius of Morton Feldman 5:01:48 Gorgeous… 5:02:44 Heading for the final minutes (structurally this actually sound like he’s heading for the finale after the long adagio). This has been so much better than I first thought, definitely one of my favorite modern pieces (although I will not be listening to it very often…) While it might be true that music is the art of sounds, I think it is even deeper than that. Music is the art of time. But what is time? Is it real? We know that time do passes, but all the measurements we have for it are artificial. We hold pass and future as things that exists when they actually don’t and the present is a sort of Schrödinger cat thing that is and isn’t there at the same time. I think very few pieces explore time the way this quarter by Feldman does, and that’s what makes it a masterpiece. In the long scheme of things, what matters the structure? It’s futile to try to write, say a sonata, with this amount of length, so one can only trust on repetitions to give the piece a sense of cohesion. But then those repetitions force you to look deeper into the music, not into it as a whole in time, but into every single note as an eternal present that is paradoxically also instantaneous. We have it all and yet we don’t, everything is given and taken from us at the same time. When the piece reaches its end, you kind of intuitively know it, and those silences at the end have more weight than any massive finale, those are the most silent of all silences, and therefore also the loudest of silences, the more substantial. And after each silence you expect to hear something else, and you hear it, and then you expect to hear something else again and so on, until you eventually don’t. As Marcus Aurelius sort of said in his meditations “whether you live 30 o 30 thousand years, the moment of your death is still the same as for everyone else” (or something like that). Everything ends, wether it lasts 5 minutes or more than 5 hours. Thanks for posting this quartet and I hope more people will find it as beautiful as I did.

ear rape

I'll have to play this piece for the day I have to milk all of our cows. That way I can make sure to squeeze EVERY note out of EVERY utter. The entire piece could become an utterance do a hard day's milking.
