" – Peu importe d’où l’on vient. Il n’y a pas de tonique. Le thème et son développement ne sont qu’un mirage…
Il y a une musique toujours inattendue.
– Et les dissonances ?
– Dieu les a créées, elles aussi…"
Jaume Cabré - "Voyage d'hiver" - 2014

”La terre, il se pourrait bien après tout que ce soit une espèce
de merveilleux petit appareil enregistreur, plaçé là par on ne sait qui,
pour capter tous les bruits qui circulent mystérieusement dans l’Univers.”
Pierre Reverdy - ”En vrac” - 1929

”J’entends tous les bruits de la terre grâce à mes oreilles et mes nerfs de cristal
dans lesquels circulent le feu du ciel et celui des volcans.”
Michel Leiris - ”Le point cardinal” - 1927

"L'écoute, c'est l'ombre de la composition"
Pascal Dusapin - 2008

"Go, go, go! ... Go! go! ..."

Tuning in

http://beyond-the-coda.blogspot.fr/search/label/Stockhausen

 "Tuning In – a film about Karlheinz Stockhausen" was produced by Barrie Gavin for the BBC's "Horizon" serie in 1981. Directed by Robin Maconie - who wrote a lot of articles around the work of  Karlheinz Stockhausen - this documentary is an informative introduction to the work and process of a man who shook music and consciousness up.
The film shows Stockhausen instructing a group of professional musicians to start playing only at the moment when their minds were absolutely clear. 

"New methods change the experience, and new experiences change man. Whenever we hear sounds, we are changed, we are no longer the same, and this is more the case when we hear organized sounds; music.” Karlheinz Stockhausen

http://preparedguitar.blogspot.com.es/2015/11/away-from-big-cities-morton-feldman.html


" Jean-Yves Bosseur: Does silence play a role in your music?
Morton Feldman: My music is inside the silence..." 


A very interresting interview of Morton Feldman by the young composer and musicologist Jean-Yves Bosseur in 1967 on the website "prepared guitar"
A conversation which happily complete the famous talk in between John Cage and Feldman the same year.




Just notice, for french spoken people, that this famous relax talk
titled "Radio happenings" is now published in french by éditions Allia.









A splendid interpretation of Morton Feldman's 1957 work "two pianos" by John Tilbury & Philip Thomas. 
From the double CD of Feldman works for multiple pianos: "Two Pianos and other pieces 1953-1969" on the label  Another Timbre.
