It sounded very much of its type and time, in that I felt exactly about the piece last night as I felt about a number of such works then - boredom after ten minutes; really wanting it to stop, please after fifteen; completely won over after half-an-hour; feeling quite deprived when it stopped![FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT] -
Which reminds me of Cage's recounting, in Silence, of presenting a recording of a Buddhist ceremony to a college class! As for me I'm afraid I never made it to the redemption beyond the boredom.Originally posted by ferneyhoughgeliebte View PostComment

I haven't listened to it yet. I've been very taken by other Eastman pieces I've heard though. For me his work is not so closely related to the better-known flavours of "minimalism", more to the kind of thing that for example Rzewski was doing in the same period, but more concerned with timbre and texture.Originally posted by ferneyhoughgeliebte View PostComment
