A way of tuning in to what Lucier showed us: that listening is an art in itself. A meditation on resonance, memory, and the quiet power of pure sound. Or to quote Alvin Lucier himself: “I guess I’m trying to help people hold shells up to their ears, and listen to the ocean again.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe influence of Alvin Lucier’s work on acoustic phenomena and the interplay between sound and space is difficult to overstate. His legacy continues to echo through the work of countless composers and sound artists today. Lucier’s music is marked by a sense of childlike wonder and sonic simplicity - shifting our perception from what we hear to how we listen. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the heart of his compositions lies the sine wave: the purest, most elemental form of sound. Clarinetist Dries Tack pays tribute to this master of minimalism with an album centered around two works Lucier composed as intimate ‘In Memoriams’ for friends. Both pieces explore a single, elegant idea: the interaction between an instrumental tone and a sine wave.Out of that interaction, ‘beatings’ emerge — a pulsating rhythm that accelerates or decelerates as the waves draw nearer or drift apart. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThough built on the same concept, the two works are like mirrored reflections of one another: In Memoriam Jon Higgins, the sine wave glides in a slow glissando while the clarinet holds steady tones. In Memoriam Stuart Marshall, it’s the clarinet that dances around a fixed sine wave \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklisting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn Memoriam Jon Higgins (Alvin Lucier) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn Memoriam Stuart Marshall (Alvin Lucier)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sub Rosa","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":55774141809017,"sku":"SRV569","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0238\/8053\/files\/driestack_inmemoriamalvinlucierSRV569HD.jpg?v=1757524300","url":"https:\/\/cargorecordsdirect.co.uk\/products\/dries-tack-in-memoriam-alvin-lucier","provider":"Cargo Independent Distribution","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
