NPR Music Field Recordings: Mantra at Lowe's Hardware Store
Loading...
Uploaded by nprmusic on Jan 19, 2012
There's something primeval about guys banging on wood. But the New York percussion group Mantra takes such primitive pounding to a surprisingly refined level. For composer Michael Gordon's mesmerizing new work — Timber, written for six two-by-fours — Mantra set up a public performance of the piece in the lumber department of a big-box hardware store in Alexandria, Va. Who knew 60 inches of processed pine could sound so good?

@THEZICMUND Мне очень нравится эта музыка на самом деле, и я действительно не понимаю, почему вы сочли необходимым написать, сколько вы не любите его. если вы не любите его dont оставить комментарий

anyone else catch the 4/4 3/4 poly-rhythm in the people clapping at the end? thought that was a funny coincidence. hahaah 6:22 i always catch stuff like that, like dogs barking in polyrhythms or car blinkers too. not only such things as tones of 2x4s can be found in nature, but apparently unconscious rhythms as well. haha neato.
