unknown before he plays it
(recorded live in zürich 1983)
steve lacy - sopranosaxophone
steve potts - alto- & sopranosaxophone
bobby few - piano (on the whammies only)
irène aebi - cello, violin & voice

"ornette coleman told me one day: 'lacy, seems like you don't know what you're going to play before you play it.' i said: 'yeah, that's right.' and he was shocked by that because he has a clear conception of a phrase before he plays it, but at the time i was deeply into the unknown, i didn't know what is was going to find. two different manners of working, both valid; tow different premises."

(m)iddle end and wh(o) pe(r)sian ci(t)y cl(o)ud uncertai(n)

yasushi toyoshima - violin, aki takahashi - piano

so powerful are these late works that a few notes suffice to identify their singular sound-world: they are at once intimate and monumental. in the late works of beethoven, there is often a passage near the end where all harmonic motion slows to a standstill, usually suspended on a trill, while reminiscences of earlier moments are heard. this is the place where feldman's late works all begin.

écoutez la musique religieusement, comme si ses accents étaient les derniers que vous dussiez entendre
- henry david thoreau - journal
les sons sont des bulles à la surface du silence. elles éclatent. la question est de savoir combien de bulles il y a sur le silence.
- john cage - silence
from notes for release; la vraie musique des sphères by franck mallet
(listen religiously, as if its accent were the last that you would ever her)
(the sounds are bubbles on the surface of silence. the burst. the question is to know how many bubbles there are on silence)
