La Monte Young - Pre-Tortoise Dream Music

[MagnaCartaTwo]

The heralds arrived at the shore, with their emblazons and their mannequinitas. Across the velvetine shore, on the whispering horizon, could be seen the spectral, wraithish outline of a new epoch, coloured and wrapped in a diaphanous mist, alluding to itself, casting aspersions and aspic beseeching. Slowly, gradually, haltingly, and at a tortoise pace, the populace followed suit, bandying and bandy-legged, chattering and whispering: "is this new dawn a dream?"

could you give us the record data? According to Potter's "Four Musical Minimalists" and his discography there's no available recording of Pre-Tortoise Music

@juanbarros88 thats what your mom said.

@juanbarros88 If you want painful check out.. Penderecki: Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima. I actually find this relaxing compared to the former.

this is more 'music' than anything that plays on the radio these days.

@Skylo420 Hah. Radio. I stopped paying attention to that years ago. Then again, La Monte Young was never exactly on the top 40
