... is this a coincidence? The anthem of the Blue Shirts, of which we recently learnt that serial's father was a member, came from this film -

" Their anthem, "March On", with words written by Locker-Lampson, music originally from the film High Treason, was sold as sheet music and as a 78-rpm record. A phonograph record of the anthem was sent to Mussolini, along with silver and blue-enamelled cufflinks and badge, as a gift from the Blue Shirts."

No, synchronicity (I think)....possibly even propinquity....I was researching Adam Curtis and it came up....I think....but then I did also read the piece you quote....

I've been listening to two late pieces -- swansongs I guess - - from Alvin Lucier. Both have a similar structure. You have sustained electronic tones interfering with each other in juicy ways, and a traditional instrument, voice or piano, in counterpoint. It's immersive of course and, at least today, I've found that it's done the trick. I've been immersed. Total immersion.

swansongs I guess

I don't think so - a new work of his is being premiered in NYC tomorrow!

Very occasionally I stumble across a piece of music which is so astonishing that I find myself strapped to my seat, and I want to listen to it again just as soon as it's over. That just happened to me with Roger Reynold's Traces -- I'm probably the only person in the world who feels like this, and I may not feel the same way tomorrow. . .

Actually while searching for that youtube clip I came across this photo - a bit like finding a photo with Brahms, Wagner and Debussy in conversation

He's certainly been prolific over the past few years in terms of releasing recordings. I just found this performance of Ryoanji with him -- it sounds pretty damn good! And an amusing video too.

Anyone care to add some speech balloons and captions?

More from Nicolas Horvath, who was the pianist in Alvin Lucier’s Music for Piano XL I was enjoying so much. This is in the same vein, but if anything even more interesting. Denis Johnson’s November was a big inspiration for La Monte Young when he composed The Well Tuned Piano. Here it’s enhanced by a moody electronic background, with a piano part (which sounds to me as though it’s sometimes been processed in some way) in counterpoint. Like it!

JC: Don't look now Roger, but here comes that chancer Ferneyhough.
RR: You're one to talk, John.

JC: Don't look now Roger, but here comes that chancer Ferneyhough.
RR: You're one to talk, John.

JC: We two find difficulty in being able to count on you, Brian.

Alvin Lucier doesn't usually hit the spot for me, but Music for Piano XL certainly does. Extending the scope of the piano into a new reflective state .....
