Stunning. Otherworldly ♥

It has always been an infinity of abstractness, more than Picasso and Braque. But if I had to say that there's a 'reality' in music, the most fundamental objective realist blocks of its prime matter, it must be what Lucier is doing here, music with the sound phenomena. This is to music like a color to Doesburg's paintings. And music has always been like Doesburg's but based on affective processes, not mathematical ones. Am I losing my time here or did I nailed it??

[NevinJarek]

Lucier's music is very fundamental, physically, like staring into colors. When I think of how some people dared calling Schoenberg and Debussy expressionists and impressionists, I always think of how the musical language was never forged in reflection to an objective realm, like a painting of Picasso can be forged in reflection of a woman. Absolute music alludes to no objective element, it doesn't transfigure a 'reality'. Diatonic functionality was never a reality, it has always been abstract.

This is my favorite work/album by Alvin Lucier. "I am sitting in the room" is second. "Still and Moving Lines of Silences" is third. "Crossings" is great, too. These works are so worth having on CD with the liner notes, etc. Thanks for posting! Maybe more people will be compelled to learn more. By the way, I think that this is the third track from the CD. My favorite.
