It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Morton Feldman's works for string quartet






The pace is glacial, and if you are so disposed you can say that it doesn't really count as music, just arbitrary sounds.

But... unlike conventional tonal music that you have heard 200 times already, you cannot predict where the music is going.

Seeing as Feldman's 1979 string quartet takes about 90 minutes, the pictured recording includes an audio-only DVD so you can listen straight through.

Not the most photogenic CD cover art in history, to say the least. I guess a piece of modern art would have been too expensive.

But even on streaming the sound quality is arresting.
