Anthony Burr and Charles Curtis present this collection of curated compositions from Alvin Lucier and Morton Feldman. Two Lucier pieces, August Moon and Trio For Clarinet, Cello & Tuba are presented here for the first time. Liner notes are excerpted from a lecture on Morton Feldman given by Alvin Lucier.
“For Feldman, dynamics serve an acoustical function. When he mitigates a piano attack he reduces that spike of noise that’s at the onset of every piano sound leaving only the sinusoidal pure after-sound. It’s as if he invented electronic music with the piano.” Alvin Lucier from liner notes.
“Lucier manages to hear a layer of acoustical physics in Feldman’s music that perhaps no one else would hear. He’s hearing something in Feldman that is actually coming from his own musical world; in a way, hearing his own music in Feldman’s, and drawing inspiration from that.”

À l’initiative des musiciens Charles Curtis et Anthony Burr une mise en miroir de pièces d’Alvin Lucier (dont deux inédites) et de Morton Feldman. Ce choix dérive d’une conférence d’Alvin Lucier sur Morton Feldman décrivant certaines pièces de ce dernier au regard de sa musique transformant son écoute du détail.
Minimalisme, microtonalité et résonances.
