Giacinto Scelsi: Four pieces for orchestra, each on a single note, No. 4 (1959)
From the album Quattro pezzi per orchestra, Anahit, Uaxuctum
“If you play a sound for a very long time, it grows. It becomes so big that you start to hear many more harmonies, and it becomes bigger inside. The sound envelops you. […] The sound fills the room you are in, it surrounds you, you can swim in it. But the sound is both creator and destroyer. It is therapeutical. It can heal, but it can also destroy. […] When you enter a sound, it surrounds you. You become part of this sound. Gradually, you are devoured by this sound and you need no other sound. […] It’s all in this sound, the entire universe is in this one sound that fills the room. All possible sounds are contained in this sound from the start.”
(Giacinto Scelsi, quoted in the liner notes for the album Natura renovatur)
Radiohead - “Lotus Flower”
The new Radiohead album, King of Limbs, came out a day early! No, it wasn’t leaked by some internet no-good-doers… it was released, by the band, a day early. Thom Yorke was so excited he started dancing around in a warehouse. If you’d like to purchase your “copy” you can head over to kingoflimbs.com and get the tracks for only $9. You might also want to take a look at the “Newspaper Version” of the album which comes with two 10” records and and all kinds of artwork for only $48. If you do decide to buy the physical album, it will ship on May 9th but you can download the tracks today.
I’ll leave the reviews for later after everybody has had a chance to get a feel for the album but I will say that music lovers everywhere are going to have a busy weekend.
