Gavin Bryars, The Sinking of the Titanic
This could have been written in a Twitter-stream. Unfortunately, or luckily, I do not use Twitter. Therefor I write it in plain English: Gavin Bryars‘ Sinking of the Titanic (Touch), as performed by Gavin Bryars, Philip Jeck and Alter Ego is an obligatory purchase for anyone that has ever liked any modern composition in the 20th century, whether it is Schoenberg, Feldman or even Pärt and Johannsson. Add the (for lack of a better word) hauntologistic quality of Philip Jeck’s turntablism and you draw a crowd of improvisation and electronica. Buy it here, or read more about it here.
