Still Listening work in progress......but Bryn Harrison: Dead Time stood out....

It was an excellent programme.

I've just been reviewing a book for the Journal of Sound Studies about time in music coauthored by Bryn Harrison, a very interesting composer I think. In the book he writes principally about the experience of time in the music of Morton Feldman and James Saunders. Here's my review: https://www.researchcatalogue.net/view/558982/975958

Very interesting read thanks. I'm just wondering though about the mind of the listener. For example - with live improvisation, personally I'm so involved with what is happening at the moment, my 'listening ears' are so very different when listening to eg Feldman where the focus is forced to be slight changes within a mostly beautiful environment ( focussing on the piece of gravel slightly out of alignment in a Japanese garden - crippled symmetries ) Please forgive the crude analogy, just made in an effort to describe the difference.

I enjoy both and many more :) I don't attempt to bring it all into one universe because I can't explain it
