"Extended Voices"

(LP. Odyssey. 1967) [US]

Alvin Lucier

Not only composers, though—-many listeners seem to need this, too. “At last, something objective, they’re really trying—-god it sounds like they might be killing themselves, practically—-maybe this isn’t a waste of time, after all”

You ever go back and listen to your own music? I've listened to this piece of mine about four times in the last week. I completely (digitally) ripped off Alvin Lucier's "I Am Sitting In A Room" to get the effect I wanted, as the mantra "Om Namah Shivaya" is repeated. Each repetition finds more reverberation applied to the previous mantra, until it loses all form, and then slowly reemerges. A devotional piece, to be sure.

Also, what you have described with putting music in the saxophone – the great work of John Cage. I’ve noticed that no one talks about John Cage anymore. But in fact, the great work of John Cage, the great work of Alvin Lucier, the great work of Pauline Oliveros, part of our responsibilities, in my opinion, is to help the younger people learn about who’s doing what, and what in particular has come from what. As far as I’m concerned the great work of Johann Sebastian Bach is still relevant, and still revolutionary. When I go back, I’m trying to study the early Egyptian musics. Great masters like Oum Kalthoum. We should never forget, or at least I should never forget, that music is as much a mystical discipline as a sonic discipline, or iconic discipline. And so this is why I feel like everything is possible as we continue to move forward.
