I just love the way Morton Feldman can take such a simple figure and play around with it for long periods of time without it becoming "stale". Thanks for posting :)

Morton Feldman and Philip Guston were friends until the late 1960's. Then they drifted apart, because the former didn't understand the latter's switch to figurative cartoonish painting. Then, in the 80's, after Guston's death, Feldman started to acknowledge the importance of those late paintings. Thanks for the video.

poem :The inner garden, diary of paths of exceedance, the wonders of the abyss, the infinity of the heroes in the circle of fate to perceive the magic phrase, the fact of crossing the understanding, an intuition and emergence of contradictions., a fantastic world of travels.

Minimalism is already set as a definition of another process and style (it is in a way, process music).

The verdict on the term for this music is still out, other than "Feldman," but Feldman's rarified music and timbral play could be called Sparsim, or Sparser than thou.:-) What an ear, what an intelligent though seemingly intuitive sense of how music can be alternately structured.

Sigh, Morty, bless you. @ Frankbass ~ I agree, perfectly musical perfect music.

@herma57 I agree, if any type of music deserves to be called minimalism, it's stuff like this, not stuff like reich, and glass, and adams. though I do quite anjoy a few of reich's later works.

Very beautiful paintings too.

thX, this is gorgeous music, this is where minimalism should have started not in the corrupted sense to became in the Seventies, Eighties;

I am afraid I do find it rather stale, too simplistic.

Why am I so blind?

This is perfect music.
