La Monte Young - B flat Dorian Blues

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Could anyone explain to me why it is called B flat dorian. It sounds to me like A-sus.

The Drone seems to be E and A. And the Improvisation is rather Pentatonik than Dorian. The recording may be detuned, but then it is still pentatonic.

What do you think? Nevertheless - great piece!

@quickasanun It depends on the tonal center of the melody.

[jeffsolis]

@jeffsolis Also the instrument might be tuned to Bb..

this so cool..Is this still considered minimalist music?

[jonobrow]

I kind of wish the drumming wasn't there. I know it has its charm, but still.. I think the effect would have been stronger without them..
