5.0 out of 5 stars The Zenith of Minimalism, 19 Dec 2006

By	Gord (Bournville, England) - See all my reviews

A man holds down a chord for 70 minutes.

Ok, he tweaks a few things every so often but that is it. Nothing else.

The piece was performed on a church organ, wedges of cardboard being inserted into the keyboard to help keep the notes held down. Various stops were manipulated during the performance.

That is Schlingen-Blangen, at face value it is possibly the most minimal of minimalist music (John Cage notwithstanding!) but it is also hugely rewarding. The massive chord played on a richly sonorous organ sets up an avalanche of timbres in which your own mind will start to create the music. At various times you will think that you're hearing other instruments, and the small physical changes that occur such as an extra note being included or another stop being pulled can be extremely satisfying. At those points during the listening when you are really concentrating, the immensity of activity can be overwhelming.

Although this music is considered to have come out of the minimalist movement of the 1960's and 70's, I like to believe that it has other origins. Firstly, the Drone in music has it's roots in many parts of the world - Indian Ragas and Scottish Bagpipe music are examples where drones form the underlying basis for the melodies, whereas Aboriginal Dreamtime performances often use the drone without any melody, allowing the timbral changes of Digeridoo to define the music. Secondly, the idea of taking out the motion of a piece so as to captivate that beautiful moment - this is akin to music being a physical entity to be experienced like a photograph, rather than the multi-dimensions of a film.

Overall, this is a beautiful work and is highly recommended.
