Do not expand your musical borders. Abolish them completely.
A total departure from drum-centric dance music, this 3 hour sound collage is pure listening. Densely layered, painstakingly detailed, yet immersed in silence and emptiness, representing the quiet, beautiful, and deep end of Collective Improvisation, Modern Composition, Free-Jazz, Musique Concrete, Spectralism, Microsound, Just Intonation, and Drone.
Potentially functioning in similar ways as ambient, but this is not ambient, because it rewards not only passive, background listening, but also active, focused listening. The aim is 3 hours the listener will likely never get tired of, in one lifetime.
Dialectical sound: improvisation is the thesis, composition is the anti-thesis, and this mix is the synthesis.
Featuring the Marxist composer/improviser Cornelius Cardew, the group he founded AMM, the music of affiliates, and much, much more.
