    I need to hear this kind of music several times. When I finish to assimilate peaces like these, they often become landmarks in my music experience. I wonder why the title of "coptic". "Coptic" reminds me of gnosticism.

      +Lino Althaner The piece was inspired by carpets from the coptic tradition: patters, seemingsly the same but with many small deviations from symmetry.

    Truly one of his coolest, most 'rad works. The dreamy Somewhere Out of Kansas and Over The Rainbow feel. And I like the way it doesn't feel the need to shock or startle. I don't Schoenberg, or even Stravinsky so much. Webern. I think this music here is much more humane!

    • @docsketchy
      @docsketchy 7 років тому +6

      The sad but simple fact of the matter is that many people get the urge to cough when they are concentrating or listening intently to something. I almost always cough when I am practicing the piano. It's something I wish I didn't do, believe me. It's from a temporary loss of control of the muscles of the throat.

      @@docsketchy You are right, but the ignorance is, that these people fail to understand the acoustic of the concert hall they are sitting in. If they attempt to stifle the noise with either their hand or a handkerchief the effect would be minimized. But sadly most of them don't. I agree with the AmericanComposer completely.

    • @DavidA-ps1qr
      @DavidA-ps1qr 4 роки тому

      Firstly, try to clear your mind. Do not relate the last sound you heard to the next one you hear. Let your mind subconsciously make that decision for you.
      You, like many others will probably never "understand" the music ( and I don't wish to patronize you as I struggle to understand it fully too), but you have to remember that music can be described but never explained.
      Hope this helps....good luck Guilherme.

      +trajnamusiccpt It's meditative sonic art, don't expect expression or communication, it is itself and beautifully so, like a glittering object in time.

    • @trajnamusiccpt
      @trajnamusiccpt 8 років тому +1

      John Borstlap, I challenge you to stare at a beautiful object for 21 minutes non-stop , even if it is a coptic carpet. I met Feldman when he visited our university as a guest lecturer. All his music is remote and attenuated but the stuff he chose at that time to present was not totally without expression. The images of a blue bum accompanying the music are inappropriate, don't you agree? By the way I do respect your patently sincere admiration of Feldman's music and I found him a likeable and amusing person. He spent hours of his time searching the local antique shops for old engravings.

    • @JohnBorstlap
      @JohnBorstlap 8 років тому +2

      trajnamusiccpt
      .... Of course one should have quite some time available to enjoy Feldman, and staring at objects does not add to the effect, it seems to me. It is an art form to be enjoyed 'out of time', i.e. far away from daily concerns. The length of his pieces makes them utterly unsuited for traditional performance. When one has broken a leg, or needs to spend infinite time in a sanatorium in the mountains, or is on one's death bed, or one is busy with some manual activity which is in itself boring, then istening to a recording of Feldman is really appropriate sonic art.

    • @trajnamusiccpt
      @trajnamusiccpt 8 років тому

      Oh, dear, if what you say is true, it is no wonder that I do not enjoy Feldman's music as much as I ought to, seeing that I am still able-bodied and not yet on my death bed. You made me wonder what music I would like to die to. When my ex-wife was dying, she had my recording of Granados' Goyescas played to her.

    • @trajnamusiccpt
      @trajnamusiccpt 8 років тому +1

      Dear John Borstlap,I have suddenly realized that your remark about Feldman being suitable background music to dying actually chimes in with my rather unkind comment about it being right for a documentary on coma, the observation you took exception to.
