Dogs in English Porcelain
I'm an enthusiastic listener of Vanessa Rossetto's new 40Mins (with the above title)!(I don't like the word 'album')
It
makes me feel more courageous
and
more at home in the world...
She seems to work in arbitrariness, still, all the sounds, all the new musical events happen in a significant, momentous way as the piece forwards. It is music you can't not concentrate on. Grabs your attention in the first chaotic two minutes and never lets you go until the end. Mozartian sense of time.
A genius balancing between several opposites: form/formlessness, continuity/abrupt change, beauty/neutrality, logic/chaos, sense-of-presence/timelessness, alienation/intimacy - and clears all these opposites from their potential markedness.
plus some tasteful and funny classical music allusions (in the end)
For me listening to this has a liberating, even cathartic effect. That's great art!
