ive been listening to morton feldman a lot lately. there is always this strange mixture of the sublime and the unsettling.
one of the great things about feldman is his stance against the systematic approach of the atonalists. instead of dealing with various intellectual systems to organize sound he would use intuition and sound itself to guide him. there is this great quote from feldman in conversation with stockhausen-
ks- what is your secret morty?
mf- ive found that if you push sounds around too much they tend to push back.
ks- i cant push them around even a little bit?
feldman's a great writer (of words) too.
