Julius Eastman Vol. 1: Femenine

is the epitome of Eastman’s long-form “organic music” — where phrases live inside of phrases, multiple layers ebbing and flowing with the passage of time. Within Femenine, Eastman, whose music The New Yorker hailed as “brazen and brilliant,” evolves material based on a two-note, 13-beat “prime” melody — a cosmic clamoring of bells. Simultaneously static and active, Femenine lulls listeners into musical reverie.
