Putting Ads in th middle of a Morton Feldman piece should be illegal
no, it should be encouraged. Breaks up the monotony....
"I make one sound, and then I move on to the next."
--Morton Feldman
It’s beautiful like the chance encounter of an umbrella and sewing machine on a dissecting table !
@@MegaCirse Not unlike Merce Cunningham ballet.
"revelatory" ... "remarkable"
damn profound
This is very likely the composition of an amateur AI with inferior algorithm.
Just saw a rare performance of this last night by Amy Williams and the JACK Quartet. Fantastic! The Black Mountain College Museum is a very intimate space w fine acoustics. You lose track of time and become immersed in the lulling see-saw rhythms. While in this relaxed, receptive state you start to hear the details. It seems still and repetitious but it's constantly changing, too, like a musical mobile, each small change delivering a surprise. At 82 minutes, everyone I talked to agreed that we were left wanting more, not less.
Heard this last night with the same performers courtesy of New Music on the Point.
1:13:25 this page turn fail woke me up. LOVED IT SO SO MUCH!
ha ha I can hear the gasp of elegant ladies, and old men wringing their programs in frustration, all in one scrataffel
The rare Morton Feldman jump scare...
His music, always so quiet. We can then hear the minute shift of tone in each of his phrases. Not unlike brush strokes in paintings. How that painter just shifted the image so that the observer sees just that. Feldman gives us just these brush strokes of sound passage. I love how his compositions go on and on.
Glorious in its unique eeriness! *This* remains music that *matters*.
for me this work is a masterpiece, the one which has made me fall in love with Feldman's music. the beauty and serenity that come from it makes me so glad to be alive. thank you.
It is in a way "dared" to create such an harmonic piece, but the result is great as every new harmonies are stunning.
@@Planthier76 I love how his choice of sounds just arrive. No rules.
I play this on the speaker of my phone after a trail run and gaze at the sky through the rustling leaves
“Glad to be alive” ... I’ll take an hour of that. Nice review. Thanks

Perfectly lovely... ✨
A haunting, complex work.
Methodically orchestrated,
painfully and perfectly preformed.
It has that fabulous *ASMR*
effect.
Thank You: Time just melts when I am here....
π 火 酉 Π-san melting time is a thing of beauty
We can call it music, but we can also call it a transformative event. Immerse yourself in the sound, and let it take you...
The mystery of why this is so tremendous is the bootstrapping that makes it so great.
Je garde cette note de presse de Andrew Clements avec le soin qui méritent les mots qui nous éclairent. « Une pièce unique symbolise la beauté et le pouvoir hypnotique des dernières œuvres de Morton Feldman, c'est le Quatuor avec piano, composé en 1985, juste deux ans avant sa mort. Les performances durent généralement entre 80 et 90 minutes, relativement modestes selon les normes tardives de Feldman, mais le monde autonome créé par cette musique est totalement distinctif et la façon dont il l'écoute unique: “Jusqu'à une heure, vous pensez à la forme”, Feldman a écrit une fois, “mais après une heure et demi c'est l'échelle”. Le tempo ne change jamais, la gamme dynamique est limitée et le matériel musical est rare: des accords de rock qui ne répètent jamais exactement, des notes uniques longues et un arpège ascendant qui agit comme un point de référence tout au long. [À l’occasion de l’enregistrement de Vicki Ray et du Quatuor Eclipse le compositeur David Lang], parmi d'autres perceptions, souligne la relation entre la musique de Feldman et celle de Webern: dans Piano and String Quartet, Lang dit: “Vous pouvez entendre Webern à distance - de la manière dont chaque geste, chaque note, chaque phrase importe”. Mais dans la musique de Feldman, il en existe beaucoup, beaucoup d'autres » (The Guardian, 12 janvier 2012).
One of my favoriete composer and work.
I love this! Morton Feldman hist the spot for me with this.
Thesis research prep music. I put this one when I am accumulating references for my paper. It's so perfect.
There will be days, when I'm full with the common melodies of everyday music, somehow, somewhere this hurt me, so Feldman or Cage music is regenerate or refresh my ear or heart. Sometimes you have to have the unpredictability and disharmony.
Me, too. bored with normal human music. I love to go on the escapades of unusual soundscapes.
amazing how I can listen to this on any occasion and it's never distracting
Love this piece. It is mesmerizing.
Thank you
You’re welcome.
It's a bit like running a marathon getting through to the end of this work. But the rewards are similar. An amazing composition of pure invention. Spare a thought for the performers, it must be a total nightmare to perform as the concentration levels must be enormous.
Morton Feldman el mejor compositor de la historia de la humanidad. Esta composición es increíblemente perfecta.
Exacto.
Uno de ellos.
Such artistic patience to make each sound matter.
What a gentle performance. Totally loved it!
Un grande!!!! Siamo a livelli molto alti
Stokausen, Xenasi, ecc
This carries me back. :heart
Wonderfull resonances on the piano. The way it stays sounding behind the violins is huge part of that what makes the piece what it is.
Well recorded. Full piano sound, full string quartet sound. Rare.
Painfully brilliant.
This is so inspiring😀
Totally!!!
Thank you, wonderful to hear! 👏👏👏Loving your accompanying video too, very simpatico! 👽🥁🎻♥
Thanks! Glad you like it (and taking the time to mention it in public).
A lovely haunting work of interesting complexities.
Methodically conducted and painfully.... perfectly performed.
*Note* - the subtle footsteps and many (secret) goings on in the background have a wonderful ASMR effect! 😉
I have no idea of what ASMR is. Yes, perfectly performed. I love to use this music when I picture myself in unusual comforting places.

Some people get this effect and some do not.
You can find a lot about it online.
it's just so beautifully relaxing. I can work non stop with this music on the background.
And he wrote so much perpetual sound/music.
This is some good sleep sound.
This has so much life and joy I love this piece to death.
For most people, death comes first before the enjoyment.
Music transcendation illuminates the mind
Your channel is like a work in progress. Travels trough a very slowly time.
Speed is very much overrated
The pinnacle of his career. This piece. Every measure is unique like a snow flake
love it. dreamy nightmare
Calm,but eerily at the same time.
All we have is the moment.
I think that one of the genius part of Feldman's music is to you bring you back to that reality ! :)
Feldman the Great
Il migliore in assoluto
Forse un giorno arriverà qualcosa di meglio ma fino ad allora...
Upon first listening to Feldman's music, it all sounds so tedious and long-winded, as if it's just random notes going nowhere. But if you follow any of his compositions with a score, you'll be absolutely overwhelmed--at least I am--by how brilliant they actually are.
Aujourd'hui, il n'y a pas de progrès dans les arts, ni dans la musique. Il n'y a pas de progrès dans la réalisation ou le sens musical. Il n'y a qu'une extension cumulative des moyens à la disposition des compositeurs réels ou supposés, mais cela n'a pas la moindre influence sur le microcosme artistique. Le modernisme d'après-guerre a rendu les moyens disponibles du "passé tabou" et donc inaccessibles. Ainsi, le progrès d'après-guerre était en fait l'érosion et la restriction, réduisant les moyens disponibles de création... Je remercie dieu de m'avoir inspiré ce texte creux et redondant !!
plein d'humour !
Bonne chute ;)
Мудрость Ошо, Платона, Сандгуру, Иисуса, Будды сходится (согласуется) и гласит - Если человек нервничает- значит у него проблемы! Может накрутил себя, не важно. В любом случае, позитивные люди ведут себя по другому. Нужно войти в положение и принять соответствующие меры реагирования. Без агрессии. Это смирение. От слова "мир" и "мера". Берегите себя и близких! Именно поступками, действиями.
Каждый состоит из плоти. А плоть это, что ты в себя воплотил. Какие манеры, навыки, привычки, стереотипы поведения, эмоции, амбиции. Каждый выбрал для себя определенный тип поведения и по этому шаблону действует. Каждый отнёс себя к какому то сообществу, группе - а тех, кто не придерживается этих взглядов и идей, осудил как отсталых, нелепых, во вкусах не разбирающихся. Обсуждая других за их выбор имиджа, стиля, направления. Люди забыли, а кто то и не вникал особо в главные постулаты, такие как - О ВКУСАХ НЕ СПОРЯТ! Любой выбор другого человека и есть его личный вкус. Он так видит. Он так оценил. Это его ценность. Для него это дорого. И человек идёт своей дорогой. Но ему начинают мешать. Критиковать. Нападать. Обсуждать. Рекомендовать свои взгляды, которые ему быть может чужды. И ещё и огорчиться на него, что не хочет послушать "дельный совет", записать его в враги. В чёрный список внести. Перестать здороваться, руку дать, общаться! А по сути, что происходит на самом деле, это же капец! Вас невзлюбили или вы невзлюбили конкретно за личный выбор, за вкус! Нужно как можно скорей освободиться от предрассудков и начать жить в своё удовольствие, не мешая другим. Не обесценивая и не огорчая других людей! Пусть и не близких, не родных!!! Дать право каждому человеку на свободу выбора и освободиться самому от обсуждения вкусов други, поняв наконец род природы человека и глубину смысла слова "свобода выбора, личный вкус". Вообщем, не быть бабкой или дедкой ворчуном! А это значит поддержать человека, ведь он воспримет это как веру в него и воспрянет духом.
Выражение "Быть не в духе", или ""Не стой ноги встал" тогда канут в века! Все мы нуждаемся в понимании! А это и есть понимание и принятие человека, его воли!!!!
Всем нам добра и понимания! Всем нам принятия знание!!!! Всем терпения и любви!!!! Вот и весь секрет естественных наук! Это и есть "Я ЕСТЬ". ЭТО РЕАЛЬНОСТЬ. ДЕЙСТВИТЕЛЬНОСТЬ! Нас воспринимают каждый миг и он многое решает. И миг этот оставляет о себе впечатление, которое, говорят не изменить. Враньё!!!! Пока мы есть - есть и возможность изменить и создать что угодно, исправить, переделать, объяснить. У каждого свой внутренний мир и он либо богат, либо беден. Не поздно сменить и профессию и поднять квалификацию, а то и новую освоить. Вернуть былое доверие! Когда пришла осознанность, а она одна не приходит, она приносит с собой мир/лад и покой!!!! Дружбу и уважение!!!! Есть книги, фильмы, видео ролики после которых приходит понимание жизни!!!! Начинаются перемены прямо сейчас!!! Всё в наших руках и нужно действовать правильно!!!! Не откладывать на потом. Время летит, годы не ждут. Страдаем, негативим, а могли бы сиять и процветать! Жить с радостью на сердце и душе! Быть в духе! И с верой в свои силы, в свои цели - да с поддержкой родных, близких и даже посторонних людей! Быть с Богом и есть быть в любви. Любить свободу выбора других людей. Понять раз и навсегда, что, если кто то сделал выбор чего бы то ни было (друзей, профессии, стиль, имиджа и так далее) - это значит пришлось по душе человеку, по нраву. БЫТИЕ в обществе - это быт в общественности, в месте, где есть общее правило. Устав. Канон. Закон. Общая свобода выбора, мнений, вкусов. Общее - значит принадлежащее каждому. А предвзятое отношение - это взятое на перед мнение, вывод, руководство к действию. ( Я поступаю правильно! Мой вкус лучше чем чей либо и тому подобное мнение и есть ложное и ошибочная аксиома)
ЭГО - это непринятие в других людях человека. Это эгоизм и дебилизм! Нужно называть вещи своими именами, тогда и ясность наступит в голове. Голова просветлеет тогда, когда просвещаться начнёшь. А как это сделать без опыта мудрых?!! 🕵️🗝️💘🎁🎉🌞🙋
@@LiberMitUns О каких мудрецах вы говорите
31:28 that was part of the show
I had never heard this version before! These images were made for an artist (from Holland?) and the version was another one.
I made the other version you refer to also. That one was deleted by YT for copyright reasons (i used a released recording by the Kronos Quartet for that one). This version of the video is extended as the recording is longer.
I've listened to the Kronos version many many times. Is there any way to purchase this 2013 recording?
I like this, but the piano trills remind me of the old Outer Limits show (the 1960's version).
Me gusta
English only, please
Music for the COVID age
Why?
@@christopheradams727 Feldman's underlying sense of dread and foreboding.
Después de escuchar esto, mientras hacía otras cosas, claro, me viene a la memoria, cómo ciertos editores y críticos, le dijeron a Bruckner, después de componer su primera sinfonía, que se dedicara a otra cosa. Ahora tragamos con todo.
Ah. Y el vídeo que acompaña a ésto, es también muy "entretenido".
Gracias. Aunque no estoy muy seguro de eso :-)
Carlos Enrique, la ignorancia es muy atrevida... y poco humilde.
@@jamgjamg2807 Morton Feldman sí que es humilde. Con un material que apenas da de sí para ocho compases, te rellena hasta cinco horas insustanciales. La vida tiene que ser muy aburrida para alguien que dedica 5 horas a escuchar eso.
I love in particular passage at 9:00 (randomly chosen...)
Any random choice is a good, or even better choice
Agree.. One of the most mysterious parts of the entire work here @ 9:00
I love the interesting mysterious sounds in the background. Secret things going on that we can't know.
Love that.
Very ASMR feeling.
Who made the visual part? It,s amazing
Well thank you. All the visuals on my channel have been made by me
Really like them great job!
@@notlookingfornewengland The visuals are just right for this music.
As a woman, I love this oh, so manly piece. So much so, that when that bloke (and it is a bloke) drops his sheet music onto the piano keys as he turns it like a rough stitched wound in winter, I want to turn my back on all men forever. But I love men, and however hard I try, I remain shackled to them. Man is my cross to bear and he better love being nailed to me.
“Turned it like a rough stitched wound in winter” is a very beautiful sentence. ‘Rough stitched wound in winter’ could be a good, sad song.
@notlookingfornewengland Thank you. I'm training to be a poet, but they say my imagination ain't no quantum preacher for its sermon.
If you write the music, I'd gladly write the words and sing it and woo all the knights like a silven Sophian troubadour.
@@OnceTheyNamedMeiWasnt Well, i can push bits of film around but that’s about it. If you ever find someone who writes music for a your poem(s) i’ll be honoured to shuffle some bits of video around for your song.
@@notlookingfornewengland As an admirer of your artwork for several years, that is an offer I cannot refuse! I now need to befriend some trad mad musicians...
@@OnceTheyNamedMeiWasnt I am not going anywhere. So if you ever need some visuals for a song/composition/etc just let me know.
Morton was the only composer writing rests when everyone else was creating frantic, relentless music. This piece is more than an hour long so you'd better get comfortable and get some snacks.
@@lostlanguag.es_ Who else did you have in mind?
Cheetos OK with you?

despise?! sounds the sensitive type! I never hear the end,... fast asleep.
I have discussed this piece with people...there are people who can't hear a thing in it...its boring...its wallpaper...Feldman is not a real composer...I understand that reaction but I love this music...Not that I can explain how or why.
I'm sure this guy made the OST for the dancer fight in dark souls 3
i did
In which CD could we find that great recording ?
Sorry, this recording was a radio broadcast only. There is a very good cd of this piece by the Kronos quartet.
@@notlookingfornewengland not so much, alas 😔
however, it seems something is wrong : at 42:15 approximatively the music suddenly restart from the beginning, or is it me ?
To me it doesn't sound the same as the beginning (after 42:15). The violin seems to be diffrent. But ... that's only what i hear
not looking for New England i have listened closely, at 41:58 sounds cut, then it restarts from the beginning. at least it is what i'm hearing.
not looking for New England sorry the cut happens at 41:56, i'm not so accurate today...
Ha, i think you're right, never heard it. I only used this version of the piece because an earlier version was deletend for copyright reasons by YT. Found this one on a reliable site. People there loved it. Nobody heard the doubling :-)
not looking for New England OK, i was confused ! :) the video still work, but I was intrigued, i'm listening a lot to this piece. this version is very good, and i was a bit lost to hear the same passage twice !
excellent background noise for removing files from my computer.

Hey New England! Did you create the video? Nice!
I did, thanks for liking it.
@@notlookingfornewengland I watched and listened to several of your posts this morning…all excellent videos to accompany the sublime music
@@gordway7896 thanks again. And again! I make the videos for myself but it’s always nice/good/some other words to hear somebody else likes them.
*********
It.s her father who abused Bunita Marcus, not Morton Feldman. Don't spread false things like that.
Adoro M Feldman, Génio.
I don't understand this kind of music. Please wanna know
Arii ari xD i like it because it slows you down, makes you think about time, rhythm. It’s there, it doesn’t want to please you, it just is.
painting?
The video? No. It's a random sequence of 6 video fragments, each with a duration of about 10 seconds. The fragments were filmed in an empty room of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. From that film some bits were copied and put back in random places in the film.
?
mmmm
47:00 sounds just like LA Noire soundtrack
Alien (1979)
this is what skinwalkers twerk too
somebody dropped their music at 31'30"?
I think the viola player fell asleep
Just like dropping the soap
Bit short
I feel like I'm stuck inside the suspenseful part of Dirty Harry!
Whelp... now I'm never going to NOT hear that...
Hilarious 😂 More like Deadpool for me, this one. Love it! Gone ahead and made my day...
sounds like Zelda Breath of the Wild
Am I totally weird tor fucking loving this piece?
No.
No you just rude.
@@licas63 do you like this piece?
Yes and me too.
What is so wrong with melody?
This sounds like background music for a creepy film.
This album was recommended to me right beside a video titled "Signs that your wife is cheating on you" the conclusion I've drawn from this algorithm is that I'm in denial of traditional values, both in music as well as relationships. Tough luck youtube because the true conclusion is that I'm currently having an affair with a C-list violinists wife.
what happens at 42:00 minutes im confused?
It’s starts again. Mixed up the files with this one. The ‘fun’ thing is, hardly anybody notices.
La wea mala
Me suscribo
No están buena? Donde esta el coro!!! Budbunnyrules
Está en el 41:07 No puede ser que no lo oigas
both are OK. Not everythng has to be alike or popular at the moment.
This is the sonic equivalent of watching paint dry.
Did you really have to comment the same thing thrice?
Your comments are the visual equivalent of a 1980s computer game. I'm thinking of minor classics like the BBC version of Defender or Swoop.
ye i see what you mean, it's like the gradual process of individual elements coalescing into a grand structure, inseparable and at times indistinguishable. thank you for your thoughtful comment
I can make that sound on my piano all day too
@Richie Beirach No I wouldn't since I'm not retarded.
Yes, you can. Nothing is wrong with that.
I can make your mom make sounds
This is very likely the composition of an amateur AI with inferior algorithm.
Amateur comment inferior to this piece; though your ideas, and expression of them, could easily be improved by AI.
This sounds like a cat stepping on a piano.
A very sensible cat.
That's some cat.
yes a cat that's thought deeply about music

This music sucks. Fight me.
One man's trash is another's treasure. I won't say it sucks, but it does give me a headache.
There's literally nothing to fight, warmonger!
@Richie Beirach Shut up, you embarrass us.
This music doesn't suck. YOU suck.
I can't stand people like you who hate on perfectly contemporary classical pieces like this; your type makes me so angry that I just want to vomit out the contents of my stomach and gouge my eyes out in a fit of total frustration.
If u r normal u know this sucks.
Normality might be overrated.
normal = 💩
Why does the piano ALWAYS play a few, rising notes? Why do the strings ALWAYS play a few held notes? IT'S BORING.,
Why do you ALWAYS comment on new music videos on TH-cam? IT'S BORING.
Well, the only reason you read my comments, in spite of the fact that they're boring, that makes any sense is that you learn from them. You're welcome.
I've learned that you're a miserable blowhard who has nothing better to do than troll in the comments section of music he doesn't like. So in a way, you're right.
Why do you consider voicing an opinion "trolling"? If I said, "wow, what an amazing piece", would you still consider it trolling? Let's be honest. As simple and clear as it is, you don't have the foggiest idea what my comment means. Keep reading and maybe someday you'll catch on.
I can understand you do not like this static choice of composition BUT, all this music is about silence, tensed harmonies, changes of color. The surprises to me are more on the harmonical point where there are some serious strange things here.
Simple piano clusters mixed with s bad violin lesson.Maybe next they should eat the bridge and lick the keys!
Sickeningly terrible.
Nothing here.
What are you expecting some romantic style violin technique with vibratos and rich dynamics? Get serious this is the 1980s. Anything but that will kill the piece.
But hey, btw 'Nothing here' is a nice description of Morton Feldman.
I have carefully considered your analysis and decided that I will punctuate the premire of my next violin piece by climbing onto the stage and eating the bridge directly off the violin. Thank you!
