Morton Feldman

Morton Feldman (1926-1987) was a composer active in the 1950's into the 1980's. He was of the New York 50's and 60's avant-garde that also included John Cage. His mature works are austere and meditative, their durations largely exceeding an hour. The chosen Palais de Mari is a shorter example (21 minutes).

Instructions: To achieve the maximum effect, listen meditatively. Do not watch the screen — turn it off if practical. Either close your eyes or keep them half open without focusing on anything in particular. Ideally, be in a room with no background sound and dim lighting, or use noise-cancelling headphones.
