I hope Wes is OK.
Not much to say about this one: composed by Moore, performed by NYCs finest, The Bang on a Can All-Stars. If a little repetition annoys you, this is going to royally piss you off. A little repetition annoys me too, but a lot of it takes me somewhere interesting.
I don't think I can explain why in any meaningful way, but I love this piece. Beyond Thurston Moore's distinct guitar tone, it sounds and feels like a Sonic Youth song. So, maybe my love for it is partly due to familiarity and comfort. But I also wonder if it's that repitition which draws me into all of the subtle shifts of texture and pitch. I dunno. I always love this kind of thing. Thanks for posting it, Wes.
