WITH FILM: Minimalist Sound — Minimalist Cinema
Long before DJs and music producers began looping electronic beats and tones for the dancefloor, minimalist composers were shaping new worlds of sound through pulse and repetition. Terry Riley’s cyclical mysticism, Steve Reich’s mirage-like phase patterns, and Philip Glass’s rolling arpeggios and crystalline rhythms pioneered a new musical language that continues to inspire the innovations of house and techno producers who shape fluid forms for the dancefloor that transcend the structures of their own construction.
Presented by LA Phil Insight in collaboration with KCRW and Marciano Art Foundation, WITH FILM traces the lineage of classical minimalism's direct inspiration on electronic dance music. Bathed in the flickering, analog glow of Tacita Dean's monumental installation FILM—an 11-minute looping piece mirroring the hypnotic magic that visionary classical composers and electronic music producers achieve through their own multilayered editing processes—a host of worldclass DJs including John Tejada, King Britt, and Passionfruit will turn Marciano Art Foundation's massive main gallery into a space where the sonic continuum converges in a space of transformative motion powered by Mobius Acoustics immersive, spatial sound system.
Honoring the roots of minimalism, In Sheep's Clothing will turn the Marciano Art Foundation library into a hi-fi listening room where minimalist classical albums handpicked by electronic music producers will pay homage to the intergenerational and inter-genre relationship between these music cultures.
