Imagine a warm shelter, lit with fire. There is a group of people inside, and they are dancing, chanting and playing together. As the night deepens, the chanting builds into an extended crescendo of orgiastic noise, which is sustained for hours, each voice overcome by momentum. Everyone propelling each other towards euphoria, or boredom, the tones eventually collude to form a drone.
Inspired by "The Pulse" in Terry Riley's famous "In C", http://www.youtube.com/watch?
Come to my house and sing. It won't be difficult; we're going to hold a single note (specifically, D). Singing will be accompanied on the organ, the cello and possibly other instruments. PLEASE COME ON TIME: There'll be half an hour at the beginning to warm up our voices, drink some Scotch and wait for everyone to arrive. At exactly eight-thirty we will commence.
Anything goes at a gathering like this; wear your pajamas, lie on the floor, dance, make animal sounds, whatever. Just keep it droning until half-past nine! Feel free to bring recording devices, and your girlfriend or boyfriend. If you need directions or have any questions, send me an email.
ONE HOUR, ONE NOTE. A PARTY WITHOUT PRECEDENT. BE THERE!
Friday, April 10th 8:00 PM
