LIKE CHEWING ON STONES . . .

♫ CARTER: Duo #Violin & #Piano (’74) w/ Arditti & Oppens http://bit.ly/GS5lEz Fun to play, but listening, for me, is
like chewing on rocks…

[NOTE: totally, t o t a l l y, lost in soundspace,
w/ total disregard of what the sounds MEAN, somatically,
how they FEEL, qualitatively, in the body….To think this
music is in anyway significant is only significant insofar
it’s an artifact of the culture of collusion that says it is
significant.]

COMPARE….

♫ GIOVANNA MARINI, rehearsing vocal quartet #mp3
http://bit.ly/1afVgs0 Show me a composer who can
sing her/his NEW MUSIC w/ this sostenuto energy

[NOTE: sostenuto = sustained, the breath
of life…w/o this energy, music falls
flat dead on the floor]
