Calm Down Vol. IV

Vol. IV here, and possibly the last one in the series. The last one for a while at least. This is the very calmest of the calm volumes. Suitable for all aforementioned activities, this one is also actually recommended for falling asleep to.

I've been saving these tracks for this volume specifically. Nothing too trebly or doomy, or remotely soundtrack-y over-dramatic. The first few tracks are the "busiest" here, with their slow-motion, intermittent flourishes and rhythms. From there on, the barely-there rhythms disappear and things get drone-y and dreamy. Enjoy...

La Monte Young - Composition 1960 No.7

Incredible piece of La Monte Young, La Monte Young is an American avant-garde composer and artist. He is considered one of the founders of minimal music and has had a significant influence on the development of drone music.

“Composition 1960 No.7″ is considered an early example of minimal music, and is one of Young's most famous compositions. It is a simple and repetitive piece, consisting of a single sustained chord, played on a piano or other keyboard instrument. The chord is held for an extended period of time, typically lasting several hours.

The piece is usually performed in a concert setting, with the performer seated at a piano or other keyboard instrument, and the audience is free to come and go as they please. It is often accompanied by a light installation created by Young's wife and collaborator, artist Marian Zazeela, which is designed to create a specific ambiance and enhance the listening experience.

Young's "Composition 1960 No. 7" is considered an important piece of minimal music and has had a significant influence on the development of drone music and ambient music. It is considered as a pioneer work in the field of long-duration music and its repetitive nature is seen as a way of creating a meditative state for the listener.

The piece is performed on a Fostex M80 playing 8 tracks, one note each (half played with doublebass, half with sopran sax, half B, half F#). Uher SG561 is playng the chord with Spitfire Audio's LAB (Strings Flautando), processed with Ciat Lonbarde's Cocoquantus.
