Stone's 'Amalgamations' in John's solo piano performance offers tenderness & intimacy in sensitive attentiveness to emergent sympathetic overtones and varying decay rates. Each note & rest audibly draws on experience & repertoire for possibilities & intertextualities between & beyond each sound & silence. This is an effervescent event at which the listener is invited to share authority with composer and performer: a human, existential & political gift. It is, in other words, listening pleasure. tomteeriffick
Just imagine if these outtakes made it into EATEOT, the project would've been over seven hours! I love how "I Might Be Vanishing" is a stark contrast from other tracks, being only nine seconds. 913GA
