Marvelous. Thanks. I was lucky enough to see Robert Fripp doing such masterpieces. The machines were further appart,, he also involved speed variations. Amazing. Terry Riley has films of his performances w tape installation in European forests. Pure magic.
Listening to this puts you in a very unique headspace. It's almost dreamlike; I can easily fall into a peaceful sleep while listening to this, and not because I find it boring. Far from it. I find it magical.
Was reading the extremely thorough biography of Andy Warhol by Blake Gopnik and saw that Andy loved the drone music of one La Monte Young. This is my first time hearing that music and oh wow... talk about ahead of his time. Absolutely brilliant.
This composition is quoted in Johan Girard's book on the musical aesthetics of Terry Riley, Steve Reich, Philip Glass. It describes the adventure of minimalist and repetitive music. La Monte Young is cited as a pioneer in the use of magnetic tape loops. It is indeed an interesting archive to illustrate this experimental period. The sound of the strings is naturally rich but it is further enriched by the defects linked to the unwinding and the suturing of the magnetic loop. Well seen ! Obviously, I am thinking of "Vexations" by Erick Satie and its "loop" played 840 times without cheating on the piano. Score unearthed by John Cage and played in public for the first time in 1963. 24 hours to overcome it. The sound environment is different but inevitably we get into the sound... Thank you for this archive. I put a link on my wall.
since you mentioned "Vexations", just want to share that Young and Cage's mutual friend and pupil, John Cale, played during that song's 24 hour performance.
Wow, this is my musical discovery of the day, week and year! I'd never heard of this artist before, but now I'm going to find all that I can. Thank you.
thank you, this was a fantastic post. not only did I greatly enjoy your performance but I also investigated the instructions for the entire 1960 composition series. thanks to your amazing version of No. 7 I may even attempt to perform a couple compositions from the set myself. inspiring stuff! cheers!
What I previously called 1960#7 strings, isn't strings at all, but actually adsmz additive synth modules by sunvox and paulstretch as posted by mavd-. It is the longest example on You Tube, at 3 hrs. 53 mins. To that I set playback speed at 0.25, or 1/4 normal which of course quadruples the total playback time, letting me use it to induce a nice, long sleep.
Like the record he made with Marian Zazeela, "The Tambouras of Pandit Pran Nath", this is just drones- but what drones they are!... The harmonics and resonance that develop are just like the consonant vibrations of the cosmos! You get (I think) things in like the 432 Hz. Frequency of the earth, which soothe one into a peaceful sleep, (and I'm sure I'm not the only one).. My preferred version is the one I pull up as "1960#7 strings" with a running time of just under 4 hrs. I wish I knew how to pull up multiple tabs @ once, as recommended by some Terry Riley fans, but I haven't learned how yet..
I can see the forefront tape machine is collecting tape from another source off camera, which would produce a long delay, not unlike Terry's 4 second delay on his Poppy No good recordings.. These could be even longer, but as this a continuous drone, it's hard to tell...
In this music does’nt float an atmosphere of mist conducive to dreams and sweet drifts. An atmosphere of diaphanous peace that we sometimes feel without knowing exactly why during certain summer days! these artists do not build a discourse of interiority, of breathing, which knows how to make room for repairman silence and it's a pity🤡

eat your cactus and listen to it once again

I really wish La Monte’s stuff was more widely accessible and on streaming platforms, the guy rules.
I was lucky enough to get the entire recorded archive on download. It's very hard to find in the traditional music market places.
@@ElSantoLuchador can you share the contact information, please?

My dear respectable colleagues just left my office laughing their heads off : "is that you listening to THIS ???!!!"
It must be really amusing to people who don't get it. To them, you may as well be listening to your vacuum cleaner.
Congrats, you're now 'that guy' 😄

I can't tell you how much I love this piece thank you!

That's the beauty of drone.
it reminds me of throat singing

If you'd like, it's mentioned in Joachim E. Berendt "Nada Brahma - Die Welt ist Klang" (The world is sound), too. Astonishing book as well
since you mentioned "Vexations", just want to share that Young and Cage's mutual friend and pupil, John Cale, played during
that song's 24 hour performance.
Thank you! Healing holy sound
Wow, this is my musical discovery of the day, week and year! I'd never heard of this artist before, but now I'm going to find all that I can. Thank you.
Good shit! Love it.. I had a really nice walk listening to it today , in a cloudy winter day : )
Like outer limits of sounds the numbing of time and space in one place
incredible stuff . . . the video of the reel-to-reels is the cherry on top
Otherworldly yet so comforting.
Very nice

This is really fantastic! Thank you very much for such a brilliant performance of La Monte.
Thank you very much! Incredible. One of the best LMY performances I've ever heard.
Phenomenal. Great upload, amazing presentation. This channel is obviously vastly underappreciated. Thank you for doing this!
I love this so much.
Brilliant performance, magical...
A truly beautiful piece of music, thank you so much for this !
Just stumbled on this slice of gorgeousness. A seminal artist. Wonderful to hear a recent performance! :)
very good for melting the mind
Utterly beautiful
1960! Astounding. Thanks for this.
outstanding work 🎉!
I love the miking and the recording ambience.
Extraordinaire voyage dans le son
This is utterly beautiful!
Dang, you took a brilliant conceptual piece and made it beautiful and visceral.
I use that song as my post workout chill.
Incroyable, tout est dit. Ce qui n'empêchera bon nombre de s'en inspirer et c'est tant mieux 🤩
Beautiful. Even if it does go a bit wonky at the end. Don't we all. Thank you. 🙂
Don't we all indeed... nice comment 👍
Amazing! It's absolutely brilliant! This sound .........
Thank you.
Vibrational!
Yes ,congratulations!! Very nice
Excelente realización/ interpretación!! Gongrats my friends. Cheers from Chile.

Brilliant!!!
Is there a copy of this performance that I can purchase from somewhere on the internet? I do love this composition.
Fantastic. Where's the Ket
the real deal
happy 87 ;-)
beautiful!
Need a hi res copy of this
I think this is Marian Zazeela's video art that accompanies this.
is this available for download?
Il MI più lungo di sempre.
Where's that confounded bridge?...
This was actually fun to play guitar to. It stays in the same key and you can play any scale.
Bonito :)
I can see the forefront tape machine is collecting tape from another source off camera, which would produce a long delay, not unlike Terry's 4 second delay on his Poppy No good recordings.. These could be even longer, but as this a continuous drone, it's hard to tell...
Anybody see the faces on the left?
Yes.
Yes

what's your favourite part of the song?
which musical instrument was used to create this musical piece?
Together with Eliane Radigue, the best drones out there.
night time boss battle theme music

Je suis Jean Louis, j'écoutais de la musique répétitive quand mon père est monté pour m'engeuler
Reminds me of Yoshi Wada Earth Horns
Tf? Same noise for an hour. Brilliant. Genius level composition. Lol.
Achievement Unlocked: What the Heck is Drone Music?
Magic
You can’t hear drone
Thumbs up if you are eating a bag of EL SABROSO Guacamole chips while watching this!
im afraid im gonna lose my hearing ability after being in the drone ambient field for like 20 or more years i hope that doesnt happen lol
has it?
V.U.
😃🌱💙🌾
this has a similar vibe to Jimmy Page's soundtrack for Lucifer Rising.
La Monte Young is like the Karlheinz Stockhausen of the United States

bit short but alright
Sounds like Mr Young got his money easy.
