so therapeutic. Sure this guy approached musical theory in a revolutionary way for a Westerner, but at the end of the day, this music just makes me drift.

Oh my, that is very interesting. That is indeed a very different interpretation than I would have imagined. I never would have thought to use multiple sources like that (the only performance I've ever seen was with a single church organ).

I agree. I read that it evolved from his instrumental works of the late '50s, "for Brass", "for Guitar", and "Trio for Strings". But then it led to his sine wave works of the '60s. So, it lies between the two styles, but the pitches in the piece were the only things he was concerned with anyway. However, I read the performance history of it (http://www.diapasongallery.org/archive/01_06_20.html), and he's used really elaborate ensembles to play it. My first impression is of extravagance, although I can imagine enjoying the overlapping timbres of the instruments.

You bring up an excellent point. I personally think the sine wave interpretation you speak of would be fine, as 1) the composition notes in no way point to a specific instrument/sound source, and 2) I am fairly sure that at the time the composition was conceived, Young was primarily working with sine wave generators for prolonged tones such as the one required for the piece. Don't quote me on any of that, though. I just recall coming across the subject in my various readings.

I've been unable to find a recording of "Composition 1960 #7". So, I'm making my own. I started with a version for pure sine waves. I love listening to it, but I wonder what La Monte would think of such an interpretation. An instrumental performance of the piece would produce millions of changes in the sound over time, and I'm not sure if he would say that those variations were a necessary feature of the piece, or if a version in pure tones would be equally valid.

Don't steal it, unless you need it to buy drugs. You could always use the money to get one of those wacky MELA foundation member deals and then get the record for free and signed by the dude himself...

And if you do - how hard would it be to live, knowing how many people will miss this experience in their lives because of your greed to own things which are meant to be shared :D But yes - i think i know what you are saying :)
