The Well-tuned piano in The magenta lights
By: Young, La Monte and Zazeela, Marian
A complete 6-hour performance of La Monte Young’s magnum opus for piano. Not as good a representation as is found on the out of print Gramavision 5CD box, which was stolen from us and which this version replaces, but still exquisitely beautiful piano that just doesn’t end. Also contains video of the performance.
If you like, you can do as I did and put it on on a Sunday afternoon playing through the stereo, leaving the TV off, then you have the option of surprising anyone who doesn’t know that you didn’t just happen to turn on the TV to a piano performance that perfectly matches what’s playing through the stereo…
