Beautiful and mesmerizing

heavenly

I can hear the unison and the beats of half and whole tones between G# and B Flat (A flat and B Flat) and so on. This great piece of music help me out to understand the concept and sound of Critical band. Love those sounds...

Very interesting.

Klangfarbenmelodie meets minimalism. Reminds me of Boulez´ “...explosant- fixe...”, only with more modest resources. Like being inside a ringing bell.

[@kernelstudios8996]

very very interesting. long piece with few resources!

Musica strana...

[@aviuscomposer2605]

Can we get a tune please, my baby is TRYING to sleep!

[@molnarliviahungary]

I think James Tenney is not and never be a musician. He was a transcendent and his art is beyond to be called just music.

[@jaspernatchez]

There are those who get pleasure from listening to this? Really?

[@LlyonaFang]

i dont think its supposed to sound good it's more like a sound experiment to see the relationships between slightly different frequencies played together

[@jaspernatchez]

@@LlyonaFang Presuming you're correct, is that idea so interesting or profound that I should spend 17 minutes of my life listening to it?

[@LlyonaFang]

@@jaspernatchez lol no, i couldnt make it through the whole way either. it sounded unpleasant to me but i skipped through parts of it and was like "oh alright that sounds interesting" maybe to someone with a non-western ear it might sound profound and good to them, not for me or you though. I only checked this out cuz we were learning about Tenney for class

[@jaspernatchez]

@@LlyonaFang I presume that whatever silly point the "composer" is trying to make, what he made is not music.
