专辑介绍

by Sylvie Harrison

The great American avant-garde composer was once described as the Iggy Pop of minimalism, meaning that his performances often involved him acting out his out-of-body experiences, and being a general madman in concert in the style of the one-time Stooges frontman. Behaving equally transcendent within the noise of his music, who would have thought that heavy minimalist drone music could put someone in such a state? On hearing the re-issue from the archivist label Algamarghen, one is not at all surprised. The tonal permutations of Duo Strumming for Two Harpsichords is as dense and heavy as any rock music, and approaches a resonance only challenged by that of his peers Tony Conrad or Arnold Dreyblatt for absolute minimalist intensity. His Piano Drone of the '70s was known to break strings in the bass register, and building slow minimal intensity out of a simple melody that climaxes in roaring overtones, his solo piano music was reaching peaks beyond that of minimalist pioneer La Monte Young on this recording made in California in 1971. As American minimalism is discovered some 30 years after the fact, Plaestine is by far one of the most rigorous, under recognized artists of the genre. Thankfully, the Italian label Algamarghen is seeing to it that his work is heard in the new millennium, and their beautifully designed digipac series is graceful justice to this pioneering work that was never published in its day.
